Canedonia is a relatively new country in Internatia.

Geography

Canedonian landscape varies throughout the territory. Most of the northern portions are covered in dense forests. The North-east part of Canedonia readily has vegetation, as the area is mostly a desert. The coastline is mostly sand beaches, though parts of it involve rocky coastlines and vegetation. Canedonia's highest peak is Soufriere Thor and it is 1979 meters tall. It is the only active volcano in Canedonia.

Soufriere Thor

Soufriere Thor is an active volcano that formed as a result of an oceanic plate subducting into the continental plate. The volcano posses no great treat to the people, though constant monitoring in the Canedonian center of Volcanology is attained. The lava is mostly andesitic. Occasional crystals of elongated hornblende are found within andesites from Soufriere Thor. Those crystals can tell a lot about the cooling history of the andesite, as well as the nature of the magma within the volcano. The Volcanology center has reported minor carbon dioxide releases from the volcano in the past couple of years, which has not been considered as a threat.

Natural Resources

Canedonia is a land full of natural resources. Since Canedonia exports raw diamonds, the North-Eastern parts of the country have many kimberlite pipes, where they mine diamonds. A notable mine is the Pegasus mine, that has the largest resources and reserves in the country. Gold and beryl are also mined in Canedonia. The use of beryl is primarily for beryllium, but also for gems. Aquamarine and emerald gems can be mined in the El Dorado mine. Tungsten is another mineral that is being mined in Canedonia, as its use is very important. Tungsten is being mined from the minerals wolframite and scheelite.

Fauna

Canedonian fauna is quite diverse. Various of amphibians, reptiles and mammals can be found throughout the country. Most of the snakes have been exterminated, due to the alarming number of deaths by venomous snakes. However, the Biochemistry laboratory in Palace City keeps many poisonous snakes and uses their venom for research. Animals such as deer, antelopes, rabbits, foxes, red wolves, cheetahs, wild cats, tamarins, flamingos, falcons and scarlet ibises are the most notable species.

Cities

• Palace City: With 1,397,000 people, this is the largest Canedonian city and the capital city. Is the must urban city. It is also the Eco-capital of Inertia for the year 2013

• Vortex: Easily the #1 Eco-city of Canedonia. Despite the fact that Vortex has 612,000 people, it is the cleanest city whose energy comes from local wind turbines and solar panels. It has the least amount of cars. And the transportation consists primarily of Eco-buses and bikes. Vortex University of Natural Sciences is located here and it is the one that offers the best program in Ecology and Environmental Science.
• Morski Grad: This 375,520 population city will bedazzle you with its old architecture charm. It is the city of culture and known for the annual Grand Poetry Reading that is held every August.
• Schwa: Probably the dirtiest city in Canedonia. This ghetto place is a host to 297,000 people. It is also the place with the largest amount of stupid people in Canedonia (overall and per capita).
• Zelenikovo: Is the rural area in the Northern Canedonia. It says that the population of this region is about 200,000 people. People in this area are usually working in the agricultural sector, as well as the mining sector (diamonds, tungsten, gold).

Transportation

Canedonia's ECO transport system is one of the most spectacular and environmentally safe systems. Eco buses run within the cities of Palace City, Bluemount, Vortex and Morski Grad, and around the country. Other forms of travel include train and air-transport. Trains go from Palace City to neighbouring countries, as well as to Bluemount, Morski Grad, Schwa and the rural area of Zelenikovo. No trains go through Vortex, due to the Enviro Act 52.1.753 created by the Mayor of Vortex. Two main airports are located in Palace City and Bluemount for international flights. Morski Grad also has an airport, but only to travel to Palace City or Bluemount.
