== Geography ==
Columbia consists of mostly mountainous terrain,with some coastal plain in the north and south and an inland sea in it's centre, the nation currently has four established counties; with each county supporting a metropolitan area in addition to Rotterdam's urban metropolitan area.
====== '''Counties''' ======
'''Rotterdam Metropolitan Area''',
Motto: Seat and soul of the empire.
Capital: Rotterdam
County consists of all urban development associated with the city of Rotterdam including urban core, suburbs and outlying areas.
'''Rottoschoss,'''
Motto: For king, god and fatherland, shalt I serve.
Capital: none (defacto part of Rotterdam)
County consists of the mountainous terrain north of Rotterdam but south of the inland sea and Gerede river, notable for being the only official county to lack any major urban centre as it's primary role is to provide the capital with resources and can thus be considered Rotterdam's unofficial supporting county.
'''Xylvania''',
Motto: A land of myths and a people of legends.
Capital: (Unnamed planned city)
Tracing it's routes back to an ill-fated exclave of the ancient far northern kingdom of which it shares a name, Xylvania remains a relatively underdeveloped county who's vast coal and iron reserves in addition to a steady supply of water from seasonal glacial runoff has granted it the privilege of being the supporting county for Columbia's largest planned factory town.
'''Grosskaseland''',
Motto: Known by their crafts.
Capital: Lenze
Currently the single largest of the counties, Grosskaseland is a topographically diverse rural county stretching from the Gerede river and inland sea to vast infertile expanse of the northern coastal plain. It's hoped that the steady advance of technology should eventually allow the county to properly irrigate this land, thus allowing it to fully support both the rapidly increasing population of the county capital; the port city of Lenze, and the needs of other less arable regions of Columbia.
'''Lëtzebuerg''',
Motto: Pride in the unit
Capital: Shiedstad
Originally a semi-autonomous Margraviate, Lëtzebuerg was readmitted as a county into Columbia following the Trinity term, 2018 constitutional reforms which aimed to fully centralize power through abolishing all institutions operating outside of Rotterdam.
