Actrein
Written by
Actrein consists of seven different regions: Saiba, Phaera, Chutus, Kruthia, Venzo, Stonad, and the Tratia Archipelago. The Saiba region also contains the Kreshniva Protectorate.
The Kreshniva Protectorate's territory is everything beyond the upper black line (plus a few islands nearby the main landmass).
While Kreshniva is technically part of the Saiba region, it is also partially a distinctly unique subregion. Thanks to frequent peace discussions and negotiations, the Kreshniva Protectorate has earned a status as being partially independent from the Actreine Empire, while also being officially part of the empire and being expected to uphold several of the laws and regulations that the rest of the empire is held to.
Despite this, there are several Actreines who are clearly offput by Kreshniva's presence in the empire, and many Kreshmen have outright said that they'd much prefer Kreshniva was its own independent nation. Regardless of the discontent voiced by the empire's citizens, the empirical leaders are adamant about the Protectorate remaining a part of the empire.

Phaera is largely a quiet farming region. It is also the second smallest region in Actrein.
Merchants are often attracted to Phaera by the prospect of trade and peaceful scenery, as well as quiet villages to stay in while they're visiting. This same scenery also often attracts tourists and vacationers.
However, there is one place within Phaera that attracts a different crowd. This place is the Sands of Devouring, Actrein's main (and largest) desert. It is said that multiple thrillseekers a year adventure to the Sands of Devouring, only to never be seen or heard from again.

Chutus is home to the largest mountain region in all of Actrein, known as the Anvils of the World. This name comes from their shape and height - while being exceedingly tall, many of the mountains in the range are actually flat-topped, looking very similar to anvils.
Chutus is also one of the largest regions in Actrein, second only to Kruthia. However, the gap between sizes is only barely noticeable, and indeed some maps even portray Chutus as being the larger of the two.

Kruthia is commonly seen as the largest region in Actrein. It is also the region that houses the empire's capital, Khatence City. Kruthia also features the empire's largest river, known as the Sincrameard River.
A popular attraction to Kruthia, aside from the empire's capital city, is the large amount of beaches alongside the region's coast. Many tourists often vacation here during the hotter months of the year.

Venzo is often known for its dazzling sights. However, it has the unfortunate luck of being home to Kaus Village, by far the most unpleasant town in all of Actrein. Kaus is infamous for being the site of multiple illegal activities, as well as being home to multiple creators of illicit substances. Tourists and merchants alike tend to steer clear of Kaus for its awful reputation.
Aside from this, however, Venzo is a popular destination for merchants. Its unique climate means goods that can't be found anywhere else, and that means big business.

Stonad is the smallest region in Actrein. The southern portion of Stonad consists of snowy and icy tundras, while its northern side is mostly forests and fields. It isn't particularly a choice place for farming, but it's still a nice place for tourists if they aren't up for some of the busier vacationing spots.

Technically speaking, the Tratia Archipelago isn't its own region. According to all authorities, the archipelago is counted as being part of the Stonad region. In fact, very few Actreines even bother trying to live in the archipelago, seeing as the empire has many more appealing places to live.
However, it seems that the archipelago is a popular site for Kreshmen to stay, in all likelihood because the conditions there are similar to their native Kreshniva. Interestingly, they haven't yet tried to claim the archipelago as their own territory. This may in fact be why none have attempted to distance the archipelago from Stonad.

I like the level of detail! I noticed a lot of the links to 'read more about' weren't working; I'm guessing those articles just aren't completed yet?
Yeah, they're not done yet. They'll be done eventually though!
