==Geography, climate, and environment==
 
At 592,800 square kilometres (228,900 sq mi), theThe Veridian Union is comprised of two major islands with outlaying chains. Veridia Prime is the western-most island, Veridia Secondus is the eastern-most main island. The country lies mostly between the Gondwana and AtlantiaNovaris continents. The nearest mainland states are Prussia, located to the north; Genosha, and Toloria, located to the south.
 
The prehistoric breakup of the continents Gondwana and AtlantiaNovaris separated the Veridian landmass around 135 million years ago, allowing plants and animals on the island to evolve in relative isolation. Along the length of the coastlines runs a narrow and steep escarpment containing much of the island's remaining tropical lowland forest.
 
Further inland lies a plateau in Veridia Prime ranging in altitude from 750 to 1,500 m (2,460 to 4,920 ft) above sea level. These central highlands, traditionally the homeland of the Felidae people, are the least densely populated part of the island and are characterized by terraced, rice-growing valleys lying between grassy hills and patches of the subhumid forests that formerly covered the highland region. In the center, the increasingly arid terrain gradually slopes up to the Ridgeback plataus.

The members of the Youth Scouts are viewed as future "Veridian Models of Society" and are indoctrinated into Nationalist Ideals. One aim was to instill the motivation that would enable its boys as soldiers, to fight faithfully for the Veridian Union. There was more emphasis on physical and military training than on academic study. The Youth also has the responsibility of overseeing the physical fitness development programs provided to the Union youth. For example, many activities closely resembled military training, with weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics. Hazing was overlooked since it was believed this would weed out the unfit and harden the rest. Members wore uniforms very much like that of the Marines, with similar ranks and insignia.

The Youth is organised into local cells on a community level. Such cells had weekly meetings at which various Fascist doctrines were taught by adult leaders. Regional leaders typically organised rallies and field exercises in which several dozen Youth Scout cells would participate. The largest gathering usually took place annually, at DuVall, where members from all over Veridia would converge for the annual Founding Day.
