It boasts a diverse landscape that ranges from vast deserts reminiscent of the Sahara to lush, fertile valleys near the Millennium River. The Millennium River is a grand, meandering waterway that stretches across the entire country, serving as a lifeblood for the nation. Its waters are used for irrigation, transportation, and are home to a rich variety of aquatic life.
