[edit] Geography
The plains are bordered on the southwest by the Spice Forest, on the north by the Pink Jungle, and on the southeast by the Nevasoy Forest.
[edit] Climate
The Southern Plains have generally mild summers and winters. They receive some rain during the summer monsoons, but not as much as the Nevasoy Forest or the Pink Jungle; this is what causes the plains to lack forest cover despite being surrounded by it. It is thought that a few thousand years ago the area was forested, but a lessening of the monsoons allowed it to become a grassy area while leaving very fertile soil.
[edit] Human Geography and Economics
The plains have no major towns, but there are many small farming villages. The economy is agriculture-based due to the very fertile soil. For example, the plains are the world's largest producer of wines.
[edit] Politics
The two main parties in the plains are the Motherland Movement and the Social Alliance, although other parties often have support in the region.
