The Map

The State of Lemoyne, also known as Lemoyne is a state located in the Southern United States of America.

## Overview

Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Lannahechee River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as herons and egrets. There are also many species of gators, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In the west has produced extensive areas of tropical hill forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of terrestrial orchids and carnivorous plants.

Lemoyne urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th-century French, Haitian, Spanish, French Canadian, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the U.S. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, the present-day State of Lemoyne had been both a French colony and for a brief period a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African people as slaves in the 18th century.

In the past, Lemoyne was a member of the short-lived Confederate States of America during the Civil War, with many citizens of the state fighting against the North. Remnants of Civil War battlefields can be found deep within the meadows of the state.

## Geography

The western portion of Lemoyne consists of lush rolling hills, red-earth soil, pastures, and ponds. Dewberry Creek, a dried creek, is found within the borders of the meadows. Low-level shrubs and short grass primarily grow in the region, which is suitable for grazing and ranching.

The eastern part of the state consists of mostly marshes, floodplains, and swampland, where the American alligator and various semi-exotic creatures are found. Kamassa River feeds the bayous of the county, where stagnant water rests before emptying to Lannahechee River.

Lemoyne borders New Hanover to the north, Lannahechee to the east and New Austin to West.

## Counties

Like New Hanover, Lemoyne only has two counties, Gray and Lemieux.

### Gray County

Gray County (formerly called Scarlett Meadows) is one of the two counties. Gray is known with the Civil-War history and family feud. In the 1890s, it´s county seat Rhodes boost its numbers and its favourable geographic position and relatively hospitable conditions allow the county to flourish.

### Lemieux County

Lemieux County is a swampy county filled by the massive crawl of industrialization and unique biomes. The state's capital, the former French colony of Saint Denis, is located on the eastern shore of the state. Factories and orchards litter the wet swamplands of Lemieux.

## Cities

### Saint Denis

Saint Denis is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialects, and its annual celebrations and festivals. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along the street.

## Influences

Lemoyne is directly based on the state of Louisiana, the two even sharing similar names. Being a giant forest-like marshland near the Gulf of Mexico, both Lemoyne and Louisiana have major metropolitan areas (Saint Denis and New Orleans, respectively) as well as French/African-American heritage and a Confederate Civil War history.

Lemoyne is the only state/territory depicted in the series so far to be completely based on chiefly one real-life state (Louisiana).
