	[[Tarsica]] is the sole recognized natural satellite of Micras, with a published radius of approximately 1,737 km and a revolution period of roughly 24.8 days. Unlike most moons of the Atos System, Tarsica has a tenuous atmosphere, extensive frozen water reserves, limited zones of surface or near-surface thaw, and a sparse but significant native biosphere. Its familiar designation as the ''Christmas Moon'' reflects its cold terrain and persistent snow. Equatorial lake systems, geothermal districts, hardy evergreen vegetation, and rare animal life are among the subjects of past lunar surveys.

	~~''Main article: [[~~Apollonia~~]]''~~		{{main\|Apollonia}}

	[[Apollonia]], in the northern hemisphere, is one of the world's largest landmasses and an early center of Micrasian cartography and civilization. Its geographical backbone is the Trans-Apollonian mountain system, whose well-known summits include Mount Kosygen, Mount Stone, and Mount Ni. The [[Antya River]] and Camoleo drainage basins provide broad fertile lowlands on opposite sides of the highlands, while [[Lake Christoph]] and [[Lake Lamantia]] are among its important inland waters. Northern Apollonia extends toward the cold shores of Tallandor Bay, whereas southeastern districts include humid forests and coastlines influenced by the [[Raynor Sea]]. The fertile Antya basin and its surrounding settlements have long occupied an influential position in the political and cultural history of the Apollonian states, including the former [[Union of Apollo States]].

	~~''Main article: [[~~Benacia~~]]''~~		{{main\|Benacia}}

	[[Benacia]] is a geographically diverse northern landmass historically associated with [[Shireroth]], the [[Benacian Union]], and numerous predecessor states. Its interior and western districts contain extensive uplands and the Concordian mountain system; [[Mount Medivh]], commonly described in the continental literature as one of Micras's highest summits, rises to approximately 8,089 meters. The eastern regions are strongly shaped by the [[River Elwynn]] and its tributaries, which support forests, settlements, and agricultural basins. Coastal lowlands, marshes, tidal islands, and associated archipelagos create varied environments around the mainland. Benacia's political history has involved repeated periods of imperial consolidation, fragmentation, and reconstruction, leaving an unusually complex record of regional loyalties and institutions.

	==== Cibola ====		==== Cibola ====
	~~''Main article: [[~~Cibola~~]]''~~		{{main\|Cibola}}

	[[Cibola]] is notable for its roughly arcuate mountainous interior and its great inward-facing bay. A broken ring of high ground borders the bay, while the outer slopes descend toward plains, coastal settlements, and more varied ecological zones. The northern margin includes dry districts, and the south approaches colder environments. [[Mount Julia]], approximately 4,856 meters high, is among the continent's principal mountains. Geological studies have variously interpreted this unusual morphology as the consequence of ancient tectonic separation, subsidence, and the collapse of a central block. The degree to which the continent preserves a remnant of the proposed Pan-Micran landmass remains a topic of investigation.

	~~''Main article: [[~~Corum~~]]''~~		{{main\|Corum}}

	[[Corum]] is the smallest of the seven commonly enumerated continents, comprising a mainland and surrounding islands, including [[Hypernostria]]. The interior is dominated by the [[Riponian Mountains]], also associated with the [[Inner Desert]], and by [[Mount Isa]], while lower, wetter country and fertile river-fed plains lie farther north. Southern landscapes grade into tundra, and the continent contains major forests including the [[Yasutomi Forest]] and [[Erlo Sinders Regional Forest]]. [[Lake Norton]] and the extensive caverns of the [[Corumian Underground]] are central to its natural history. Corum is particularly prominent in Micrasian biology and biogeography because of the large body of descriptive research on its native plants, amphibians, insects, and predators.

	~~''Main article: [[~~Eura~~]]''~~		{{main\|Eura}}

	[[Eura]] is a major southern-hemisphere landmass characterized by broad arid and semiarid plains, elevated interiors, volcanic districts, and warmer coastal regions. The [[Duranian Plateau]] and [[Mount Duranian]] dominate descriptions of its highland geography. Its long history includes the rise and fall of [[Babkha]], subsequent successor states, and modern economic and political integration with other continents. Parts of Eura bear the environmental and political legacy of the [[Babkhan Holocaust]], a major historical catastrophe whose aftermath has been associated with the discovery and development of [[Alexandrium]]. Such episodes have shaped both the human landscape and the historical geography of the continent.

	==== Keltia ====		==== Keltia ====
	~~''Main article: [[~~Keltia~~]]''~~		{{main\|Keltia}}

	[[Keltia]] is the largest continental region in several established surveys of Micras, extending through a broad range of northern and subtropical latitudes. Its terrain includes the [[Snowholme Range]], [[Mount Lacara]], the lake basins of [[Lake Cherusken]] and [[Lake Morovia]], and the long rift and strait system known as the [[Strait of Haifa]]. Northern Keltia contains cold seas, fjords, boreal lands, and alpine uplands; central regions include continental plains, lakes, forests, and wetlands; southern districts grade toward semiarid plains and the [[Corprian Ocean]]. The waterway linking Lake Morovia, the Strait of Haifa, the Gulf of Jangsong, and [[Guardian Bay]] is one of the continent's most distinctive geological and commercial features. Keltia includes major centers of contemporary settlement and cultural exchange, among them the [[Wechua Nation]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]], [[Mercury]], [[Imperial Federation]], and [[Bassaridia Vaeringheim]].

	~~''Main article: [[~~Tapfer~~]]''~~		{{main\|Tapfer}}

	[[Tapfer]] occupies part of the southern hemisphere and comprises a large mainland, major islands, and associated archipelagos. Its western terrain is dominated by the [[Thassalan Mountains]], including [[Mount Temba]], while the [[Egale River]] plain and the long Lavalonian Peninsula form important eastern regions. [[Yellow Island]], the [[Aeronesian Archipelago]], [[Mar Sara]], and the ice-covered southern island of Caplona are among the geographical features traditionally associated with the continent. Its political and settlement histories are closely bound to [[Natopia]] and to the maritime nations that have successively occupied its surrounding islands and coastlines.

	The '''history of Micras''' encompasses the settlement of its seven continents, the development of numerous ancient civilizations and religious traditions, the emergence of kingdoms and intercontinental empires, and the wars, epidemics, migrations, and political transformations that produced the modern international order. Although commerce, military rivalry, migration, and communications have increasingly linked distant societies, Micras has never been united under a single government, nor have its peoples experienced a universal sequence of historical periods. The histories of the [[Antya River]] basin, the [[River Elwynn]] valley, the [[Holy Lakes]], the [[Wechua]] highlands, the shores of [[Lake Norton]], and the [[Strait of Haifa]] began under different geographical and cultural circumstances and have remained distinctive despite centuries of contact.

	The surviving political charts maintained in the [[Micras Cartography Society]] archive provide a particularly valuable record of territorial change from the age of early federations to the contemporary international system. Their successive editions document the appearance, reorganization, union, relocation, and disappearance of numerous states whose histories are only briefly treated in accounts centred upon the great empires. In western Benacia, for example, lands represented in the earliest preserved chart under the [[Commune of Paramount]] subsequently passed through [[Machiavellia]], [[Tymaria]], and a succession of smaller or larger governments, including [[Puritania]], [[Saxony]], [[Amokolia]], and [[Francia]]. The cartographic record thereby reveals not an empty territory repeatedly settled afresh, but an enduring landscape whose political jurisdiction changed many times.

	In the theology of the [[Reformed Stripping Path]], Micras is both the physical planet and a divine personification of balance, wisdom, endurance, and cosmic mediation. As the Lady Divine of Balance and Wisdom, she is associated with the reconciliation of opposing forces and the enduring center of the mortal world. Her relationship with other planetary divinities reflects a larger cosmological scheme: while heavenly beings may represent motion, light, transformation, or disturbance, Micras signifies the ground upon which those processes become manifest.

	The history of '''Micras''' encompasses the development of its peoples from prehistoric migrations and the emergence of regional civilizations to the formation of continent-spanning empires, the growth of transoceanic trade, and the international political order of the modern period. The historical record is neither continuous nor geographically uniform. Some communities preserve dynastic genealogies and accounts of their origins extending far into antiquity; others are best documented through inscriptions, archaeological remains, temple records, commercial archives, or the administrative writings of more recent states. The surviving sources reveal repeated cycles of settlement, consolidation, conquest, fragmentation, migration, and reconstruction, but they do not support the division of the entire planet's history into a single sequence of universally experienced ages.
