Preplava (Neo-Retic: Преплава) is the capital and largest city of Brezovo and Yavorina.
Etymology
The name Preplava derives from the Retic word препловити (preploviti), meaning "to sail/swim across".
Geography
Preplava lies on both of the nation's islands (Brezovo and Yavorina), positioned on either side of the Preplava Strait. The strait serves as a natural division between the two halves of the city, separating them by approximately 12 kilometers at the narrowest point.
