Major Provinces
Province of Tranquia
A province located almost west of Nova Lemuria. It was a military lifeline for the Lemurian Empire, as it bordered the Kingdom of Bulgalon.

The main industries were olives, grapes, and marble.
Pelosonia
A region temporarily occupied by Darius. It is located southwest of Tranquia.
