Prydon, officially the Republic of Prydon (Prydonian: Praydon Laséia)(Karnetvorian: Прайдонь Республика) is a sovereign nation located in the southern cone of the Cordillian Continent, west of the Cordillian Mountain Ranges. Prydon shares the region with Karnetvor and Techganet, while it borders the Cordillian Sea to the West.

Prydon is a Unitary Presidential Republic, with it's capital in Lasvorn, in the heartlands of the country. It's largest city, Aetrinun, is a bustling metropolis, serving as the economic and cultural center of Prydonians, as well as being one of the major urban centers of Cordillia.

Geography

Topography and Hydrology

Prydon is located in a valley, in between the Cordillian Mountains to the east and the smaller Marinkora Mountains to the West. Altitude dropped steeply between the mountains and the valley which is mostly flat. After the drastic drop, altitude dropped very slowly from the South to the North. The Belaya River, literally means White River, is the longest River of Prydon, running from South to North, and became the main feeder of water coming from most of Prydon's glaciers. It is the main source for irrigation and freshwater fisheries in Prydon, and is heavily regulated. The Plodorodnyy plains in the northern half of the country is an alluvial plains formed from sedimentation caused by the sudden drop of altitude from the Cordillian Mountains. The area is straddled with smaller streams, and is very well suited for agriculture.

Climate

Prydon experienced a short but warm winter, and a longer, cold winter. Prydon has a temperate and arid climate, with arctic conditions found in mountain tops. The Plodorodnyy Plains in the northern half of Prydon received the biggest precipitation, due to its location facing the warm currents of the Cordillian Sea. The southern half of the country exhibit an arid climate, caused by the mountain-shadow effect that drastically reduces precipitation. Rivers are fed by glaciers, running down from the snow-capped mountain ranges.

Administrative Divisions

Prydon is separated into seventeen administrative ‘Okrugs’, or regions. Each Okrug is further divided into ‘Communes’, each having between 20,000 to 50,000 citizens. Urban centres are administered as Autonomous Municipalities, that organise themselves into ‘Rayons’ instead of Communes.
