Name
Despite the terminology of the name, the Çerid Autonomous State is legally an autonomous region of Alduria. Its designation as "Çerid" is, simply enough, for the species inhabiting it. Its Çervelik name, Donetaghçeridkashan, is merely an approximate translation of the Micrasian name, though its literal meaning is more accurately rendered as the Unrestrained Çerid Household.
History
Geography
The territory of the CAS lies to the east of, and borders on, the lake of Lake Nerub in north-central Eura. It lies between the Aldurian state of Villalba to the north, and the Constancian territories of Molivadia to the east and Nouradin City to the south.
The CAS occupies lies mostly in a wide, shallow valley that it shares with the neighboring surrounds of Wahda in Villalba. The northeastern end of the CAS extends into shallow hills from which most of Lake Nerub's eastern tributaries flow through the valley, forming draws and gullies in a largely rolling landscape. The terrain becomes flatter and lower toward the south and particularly the west, adjoining the lake.
Climate
Though south of the rainforests of far northern Eura and rather drier, the CAS does not extend into the desert zones of central Eura; it consists mostly of tropical savanna in the west and tropical dry forests in the east.
