[edit] Location
Usea is located in the Northern Hemisphere, east of the Osean continent. It is bordered to the north by the Cascade Ocean, to the west by the Spring Sea, to the south by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the east by the Gulf of Saint Ark. It is about the size of the continental United States, 5,000,000 km².
[edit] Geography
[edit] Physical Geography
Usea's Northeastern coastline is rocky, including the island-nation of North Point. Further south, the climate becomes temperate near Comberth Harbor and tropical in the Comonan island chain and Istas Fortress. The coastline on the west is also temperate, but has a desert climate inland, between the Amber and Lambert mountain ranges. The northern coast of the continent has an arctic climate.
[edit] Human Geography
Usea has a wide variety of races. Erusea, on the western coast of the continent, appears influenced by France, Germany and Russia. The name of San Salvacion, and several locations within it suggest that it is a Spanish-influenced area. Junks in the southern area of the continent indicate an Asian area. Usea is divided into three time zones, Usea Eastern Standard Time, Usea Central Standard Time, and Usea Western Standard Time
[edit] Notable Places
- Anchor Point City - Located on a river between the Amber and Lambert mountain ranges, Anchor Point City was once a large port. After an fragment of Ulysses XF04 impacted nearby, the river dried up, and the city has been abandoned.
- Caranda, Crowne, and Halle Beaches - Rocky beaches on the southern shore. Site of ISAF's southern landing operation.
- Comberth Harbor - Large harbor on Usea's east coast. It was the the site where the Aegir Fleet was destroyed on November 23, 2004
- Comona Islands - Tropical island chain off of the southeastern coast. Site of a rocket launch facility and small ISAF air base. Purchased by Neucom, Inc. sometime after 2005.
- Farbanti - City on the west coast, and the capital of Erusea. Although it was devastated by the planetfall of Ulysses XF04, the city eventually recovered from the disaster. It was the site of Operation: Autumn Thunder on September 19, 2005 where ISAF put Farbanti on siege. It was also the site where Mobius 1 defeated Yellow 13.
- Los Canas - City in the center of the continent with mountainous terrain.
- Ice Creek - Cove on the northern coast of the continent. Site of ISAF's northern landings in the Continental War during Operation: Aurora.
- Istas Fortress - Plateaus on the continent's southern peninsula. The rock formations and rainforest make this a very effective natural fortress. Also the location of Scion fixed-wing Air Base, a fixed-wing VTOL/rotary wing base and submarine pens.
- North Point - Nation located on the northeastern island of the same name. It served as the headquarters for ISAF during the Continental War, and was never taken over by Erusea. During the Circum-Pacific War, it was a neutral nation, and the location of peace talks. During Ace Combat 2, the island was the site of the Megalith-like superweapon Fortress Intolerance.
- Saint Ark - Northeastern city. Attacked by terrorists in Ace Combat 2. During the Continental War, it was the last city on the mainland evacuated by ISAF forces before withdrawing to North Point.
- San Salvacion - Neutral nation located in the center of the continent. It was invaded by Erusea during the Continental War because Stonehenge was located in the country. The nation's strategic location has made it the site of many wars throughout history.
- Scali - Southern island, headquarters of an anti-FCU insurgency.
- Twinkle Islands - An island chain with rocky terrain off of Erusea's southwestern coast. This was also the location of Megalith.
