Line 213:
In the {{wp|Köppen climate classification}}, the country is split into three climate zones. The majority of the country lays within the {{wp|Subarctic climate|boreal zone}}, characterized by warm summers and freezing winters. Within the country, the {{wp|temperateness}} varies considerably between the southern coastal regions and the extreme north, showing characteristics of {{wp|hemiboreal}}, boreal, and {{wp|polar climate|tundra climate}}.
 
Winters in southern Volkia (when mean daily temperature remains below 0 °C or 32 °F) are usually about 100 days long, and in the inland the snow typically covers the land from about late November to April, and on the coastal areas such as [[IzmurudIzumrud]], snow often covers the land from late December to late March. Even in the south, the harshest winter nights can see the temperatures fall to −30 °C (−22 °F) although on coastal areas like IzmurudIzumrud, temperatures below −30 °C (−22 °F) are very rare. Climatic summers (when mean daily temperature remains above 10 °C or 50 °F) in southern Volkia last from about late May to mid-September, and in the inland, the warmest days of July can reach over 35 °C (95 °F). Although much of Volkia lies on the {{wp|taiga}} belt, the southernmost coastal regions are sometimes classified as hemiboreal.
 
In northern Volkia, particularly in [[Kologorsk Oblast|Kologorsk]], the winters are long and cold, while the summers are relatively warm but short. The most severe winter days in Kologorsk can see the temperature fall down to −45 °C (−49 °F). The winter of the north lasts for about 200 days with permanent snow cover from about mid-October to early May. Summers in the north are quite short, only two to three months, but can still see maximum daily temperatures above 25 °C (77 °F) during heat waves. Norindzhik Oblast and Kurilsk Oblast have a tundra climate.
Line 254:
Much of Laiatan's inland waterways, which total 58,030 miles (93,390 km), are made up of natural rivers or lakes.
 
Major sea ports of Laiatan include [[Izmurod]]Izumrud, Sande, Mys, [[Rantza]], [[Priluk]], [[Yurmansk]], and [[Kalshgorod]], which are located on the [[Gulf of Itur]] and the [[Mahigan Sea]]. In 2008 the country owned 2,023 merchant marine ships.

The newest addition to the Laiatanese pipeline system was completed in June of 2014, which connected the Northern and Southern Pipeline Systems. The project also introduced several new tanker terminals, refineries and storage facilities along the coastlines of the country. This has helped expedite the refinery process and allows the country to hold more reserves.
