North Minerva

North Minerva is one of the nine Barlovian colonies of Saldonia. Situated in Saldonia's northeastern corner, North Minerva consists of the lands to the east of the Star Chain mountains, encircling Raby Sound.
==Geography==
North Minerva consists of a handful of distinct geographic regions. In the west, the Star Chain mountains is a series of sharp granite ridges covered in oak, spruce, and fir forests. Bubbling brooks cascade down through the valleys of the chain, the largest of which are cultivated with cornfields and orchards.
East of the Star Chain lies the Great Camden Swamp and the piedmont. The piedmont is the most densely populated region of the colony, and the location of the cities of Chadsworth (the colonial capital) and Nobles Falls. A large forest of cypress, tupelo, and maple trees lies to the east of the piedmont.
The peninsula in the eastern half of North Minerva is ringed by cypress swamps, mangroves, and sawgrass marshes. A ridge of higher ground, composed of limestone and coquina, runs down the center of the peninsula. The savannas of this region have been turned into productive farmlands, producing great quantities of tobacco, melons, and cotton.
==Railroads==
Railroads connect all of North Minerva's main cities. The main lines run from Nobles Falls, connecting through Chadsworth to Burwick and through Yasmina to Messano. Another line connects Yasmina and Chadsworth with Tanosi to the west.
