North Volonté

The Republic of North Volonté is a parliamentary republic located in the southern half of the Leifmyrr continent in the world of Eldham. It is the spiritual successor to the Republic of Volonté. It borders the nations of Prübensia           (Samora) to the west, Eleanor to the south, and Kryvonea to the south-east. The Straight of Pioresná also seperates North Volonté from the island nation of Invicta to the northeast

Geography & Climate
North Volonté is a collection of river islands in the delta of the Tia Via and Colto rivers. Due to this, the nation is mostly flat and moderate climate-wise, with areas close to the Prübensia border being more mountainous with a tundra climate. The nation is also prone to flooding, although river contention projects have made this less of a threat and more of an inconvenience.

Culture
Volontéan culture is closely tied to the republic's unofficial religion, The Way of the Will. The city of Pioresná is the holy city of the religion and draws many to the nation through pilgrimages to Pioresná and the old Warmbank Shrine. The nation's geographic location also ties into it's culture through architecture; being located on a river delta means access to an abundance of clay, so most buildings in the cities of North Volonté are made of brick.
