Vitena

Vitena is a state in central/western Nareemia and is one of the largest states in the country. It borders Bayland to its southeast, Delkida to its east, Montane to its north, Nocaliena to its southwest, and New Hayburg and Balmica to its west. Vitena has over 8,517,280 residents with about 1/4 of them living in the capital of the same name, Vitena. It is the third most populous state falling behind Bayland and Hasriden. The city has many other populous cities such as Charlottie, Yuberta, and Angeline. The state is extremely popular due to its beautiful geographic scenery which attracts over three million visitors per year, from the glorious and dry coastal prairies in the northeast, the unique coastal temperate rainforests along the northern coast, and rainy deciduous rainforest in the west. Many consider the drive from Delkida or Charlottie to Vitena City as the most beautiful ride in the world as you'll encounter most of the state's beauty. Vitena sits at the same latitude as far north as central Minuka and Nalvano and as far south as northernmost Mecirhan, Jabala and Dalamatia. 
== Geography ==
Vitena is an extremely large state that stretches almost as long as 1/3 of the country's west-to-east coast. Based on latitude of the southern and northern borders, Vitena is placed pretty central, though most of Vitena (Besides the extreme southeast) is much closer to the northern border, but the southern portion nearing Nocaliena tends to be as far south as to central/northern Dasinglet. Most of the state is forested except for the eastern portion nearing to Delkida and Montane, where it is basically all semi-arid prairie, but the more west you go, the trees become lush and spring up with a fair number of Tilia americana, Nyssa sylvatica, Quercus coccinea, and the especially noxious Pyrus calleryana which are in such large numbers that the region just north of Vitena City going into the mainland is named the Callery Valley. Most of coastal Vitena and the city island of Vitena City is very scarce in indigenous hardwood trees and more indigenous trees such as Picea rubens, Pinus elliottii, and Pinus glabra are extremely common and cover the cityscape, though many introduced hardwood trees fit for the city's enviroment were naturalized such as Pyrus calleryana. Water plants are extremely common in western Vitena and Vitena City has been named the "Water Lily Capital" of the world due to an extremely large amount of water lillies covering the city's waterways, such ones include Nymphaea alba, Nymphaea gigantea and the incredibly common Nelumbo nucifera. Vitena, alongside Delkida, Desert, and Bayland have the most diverse wildlife in the country and animals can't be described in just one description.
=== Animals of (North)eastern Vitena ===
Wildlife in eastern Vitena is extremely unique from other regions of Vitena. For instance, mule deer (Odocoileus hermionus) are found only in eastern Vitena and rarely ever stray into western and central Vitena where they are replaced by their more common relatives. For people of eastern Vitena, mule deer are an incredibly common sight but for people of western and central Vitena, mule deer are almost never heard of. In eastern Vitena, mule deers are found in sagebrush, prairie, and grass-rich areas which are fairly lush in aspens and birches and are most active at dawn and dusk hours. Other unique wildlife of the region include pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana), fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), and feral populations of horses (Equus ferus caballus). Birds such as lark buntings (Calamospiza melanocorys) and meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) are unique to this region and are never heard of or observed in any other region of the state.
