Please note that while this page does briefly mention the political aspects of Benerian territory, it does not go into great depth on the specifics nor strategic uses of each claim. For this, please see the Territory of The Republic of the Benereich.
The Geography of the Republic of Benereich is marked by pleasant temperatures over a blend of urban and rural areas. Both territorially and geographically, there is no exact numerical value of Benerian land available to the public for security reasons. The rural areas in the Benereich are mostly made up of farmland hills and valleys, with a few high peaks and forests interspersed throughout. The urban areas in the Benereich are more coastal, with estuaries, beaches, and buildings. The Republic is bounded by the pacific ocean to the east, which provides a beautiful and calming scenery for all citizens, and to the west exist the Kaimai ranges that act as a natural barrier between the former King Bendolf Rikler’s home, Palast des Kinderverlieses, and neighboring territories. Across The Republic land is fertile, with rainfall and ancient volcanic activity, making the area ideal for agriculture and gardens.
Macronational Reference
The macronational reference for any geographical features or specifics not mentioned in this article is Tauranga, New Zealand. The Benereich resides - excluding its most outer territories - entirely within the Tauranga area.
Administrative Zones
The Republic of the Benereich is organized into four Administrative Zones for ease of management. These zones, being reasonably close together, maintain a relatively homogeneous climate. The Outer Claims of The Republic are considered to be a de jure ‘zone’, and - being so spread apart - have the most varied climate of all the ‘zones’ in the Benereich.
For more information on the Administrative Borders of The Republic of the Benereich, see the Territory of The Republic of the Benereich.
Physical/Colloquial Borders
The Benereich maintains physical, commonly accepted borders that do not necessarily align with what the Government holds to be official territory. A Benerian citizen would feel safe walking within this area without threat, and most Benerian Government Officials have been to these locations, but this is NOT a claim of Benerian Sovereign territory. Please find the aforementioned borders displayed at the top of this article.
Climate
As the Benreich is contained within the borders of New Zealand, it shares the same climate. Under the Köppen climate classification, it has a temperate oceanic climate (code CFB).
