Graustark, officially known as the Principality of Graustark, is a wiki/reality based simulationist micronation located in northwestern Eura. The nation was created as a geofictional project based upon the idea of operating a fictional nation within the "real world". Though the nations's territorial claims are by their vary nature fictional, the royal government is strongly based in the realm of reality.
Etymology
The nation's name of "Graustark" comes from the novel "Graustark: The Story of a Love Behind a Throne" by George Barr McCutcheon in which the fictional country serves as the main setting.
Geography
Due to her fairly large size (both within and witout Micras), Graustark contains a vast variety of geographical oddities.
Micras
Within Eura, the principality is located in the northeastern most parts of the continent. Inside these territories, the state consists of a mostly tropical environment with vast coast lines and small forests farther inland.
The seasonal climate of Graustark is fairly mild with summer time temperatures reaching averages of around 70-80 degrees (Fahrenheit) and winter temperatures of 60-65 degrees. Temperature aside, Graustark is often prone to severe tropical thunder storms and rain is commonplace near the nations southern coasts.
Earth
Graustark is described in novels as a mountainous nation with a total land size of roughly 800 square miles (2,100 km2). However, there is at least one source that places the state somewhere in the Carpathian Mountains near Romania.
This all is debatable though as according to another source, Graustark is only 25 miles wide by 150 miles long and the nation's capital city, Edelweiss, is apparently accessible by train from Vienna.
