Tyler's Farm
A warm-weather farm located off the southeast coast of Pax, this is the world's foremost supplier of okra specifically, and mallow plants in general. There is a thriving cotton production and processing industry, here, and textile exports are a large part of the islands' economy. A surprisingly egalitarian government has allowed the bounty and natural abundance all around them to lift up all of the peoples of the islands. They protect their natural resources with a scientific approach, and a religious zeal. The people are known as friendly, the cuisine is considered "rustic gourmet", and the populace has money to spend and to lend. Their small watercraft industry is second only to Stilton Head's.
Geography
Fairly flat once it reaches its mean above sea level, they are the tops of a pair of underwater hills inhabiting the shallow water of the shoals around Pax's southeast coastline. Fresh water aquifers form naturally in the porous stone below the surface of the land.
Ecosystem
It is subtropical wetlands. Bugs the size of your thumb! Lizards freaking everywhere! The whole kit and kaboodle.
Ecosystem Cycles
There is The rainy season, the damp season, the moist season, and the torrential downpour season. No really, it rains every day.
Localized Phenomena
The iguanas round Tyler's farm, as well as on Tyler's Twins, are brazen creatures with no fear of anything or anybody. They grow to an enormous size, what with all the leafs and other food just lying around everywhere for them, and the people of the Farm, which includes the farmlands of Tyler's Twins, often use them as slow but steady beasts of burden.
Fauna & Flora
Undergrowth is dense; mosses and spike mosses grow upon the trunks of enormous old growth trees. Vines reach for the sky by climbing around trees, then draping themselves across the canopy to maximize their leaves' exposure to the sun. Mulberrys, and helvea, etc., abound. Date palms and sugar cane are also bumper crops, for the so inclined, on Tyler's Farm and Tyler's Twins. Rabbits and other 'stew critters' are also in heavy supply, while the deer and elk that once populated the islands were chased away long ago.
Deer eat crops!
The farmers generally use local seaweed as fertilizer. There is also a thriving coastal biome.
Natural Resources
Fresh water, fresh food, abundant woodlands and wetlands. Salt water coves and marshes promote
History
It was first settled and financed by the Llank-Ryu monastery in 743NG
Tourism
Wealthy people who have heard of this idyllic place sometimes take their yachts here to "the Farm". Enormous mansions are built in secluded glades and on beaches in coves far from prying eyes. Great expense is made to ensure that only Pax's wealthiest citizens even know of the place.
