The great Prosperity River Valley dominates northern Gilboa, while the Port at Pella is the chief western feature of the valley, which also includes River Prosperity flowing southwest to the Elysium Bay. The rugged Gideon Mountains, with vast tracts of wilderness, lie west of the valley. Most of the southern part of the country is on the Plains of Dan, which stretch from the southeast to the Abilene Mountains.
• Land expanse: 141,299 km2
• Borders: (clockwise from the west) the Elysium Bay; Austeria, which shares a water border with Gilboa, Gath, and the Provinces of Simeon.
Terrain
• Majority of the country is dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes.
• Gideon Park is the largest in Gilboa. It is larger than the Lydia National Park and Unity River Valley combined.
• The Arcadian River begins with Lake Orli, which flows south through the eastern part of the country.
Climate
Gilboa generally has a humid continental climate. Weather in Gilboa is heavily influenced by two continental air masses: a warm, humid body from the southwest and a cold, dry one from the northwest. A cool, humid airflow from the North Elysium also has an effect on weather, albeit to a lesser extent than the continental ones. Many continental frontal boundaries move across Gilboa, and storm systems moving north along the coast often affect the southern areas of the country.
• Winter temperature: -25 °C or lower in the northern mountains; -15 °C or colder in the southwestern and east-central plains.
• Summer temperature: from 25 to 30 °C over much of the state.
