Second Tsardom of Ryzan

The Second Tsardom of Ryzan is the 5th and modern government of the Ryzani States. It is lead by Tsar CanadianToss from the capital city Tossagrad, located in the state of Ryzan. The nation is currently in a state of relatively unprecedented peace, as the region has historically been very unstable politically. Ryzan consists of eight states (although an ninth has been proposed) with varying degrees of independence. The eight official states of the country include Balreska, Nebskoslavia, Remtal, Ryzan, Volkore, Carthya, and Vologda.

Geography of Ryzan
The Second Tsardom of Ryzan is a powerful state encompassing vast amounts of territory, and therefore has extremely varied geography. The southwestern part of the country has dry and arid deserts complimented with sprawling savannah plains. The animal population here is sparse, with agriculture consisting almost solely of wheat crops that have grown accustomed to the dry winds of this region. As one crosses over the narrow isthmus that connects the two major parts of Stylör, they encounter spacious forests teeming with cattle that have sprung up around the Tossan River. The woods are rather unremarkable when compared to the towering trees of the northern forests, but the strong, sturdy wood of this region allowed for the creation of good defenses around Ryzan's capital city. In the spring and summer, the southern territories of Ryzan and Vologda experience a lot of precipitation. The storms are also particularly violent, as they are unhindered and even fueled by the warm flat oceans around here. The center of the country is dominated by monumental mountains and marshy valleys. Due to the area being naturally impenetrable it is sparsely-populated, with the town of Volkore being the only major settlement. Past the rocky middle to the north lies a landscape of lush fields and soaring forests, dotted with dozens of small lakes and ponds. Despite being much cooler in temperature than the south, the states of Nebskoslavia and Remtal are shielded from most large storms by the mountainous central region. The grassy plains and steppe of the north are much more fertile than their southern counterparts, which has allowed for much more crop and biodiversity in the sector. Wolves and foxes prowl much of the northeastern parts, relishing the cooler temperatures and feasting on snow rabbits. The frigid waters of northern Ryzan are much less productive for fishing than the warm waves in the south, though residents of the region will claim that their mild summers and picturesque winters more than make up for that. Most districts from the central mountains and north aren't very well-mapped or well-documented, and therefore lack signifying names for natural landmarks.
