Nouvelle Alexandrie is a country that has territory spanning much of the surface of Micras, on the continents of Eura and Keltia, the subcontinent of Lyrica, and a number of the islands lying around and between them. Its longest land border with the Green is in Keltia.
Overview
Eura
The federation's Euran territories consist of the region of Alduria, occupying most of the northwestern portion of the continent and nearly all the western coast north of the Gulf of Aqaba, as well as a number of immediately neighboring islands, and several - comprising the state of Altus - off the continent's southwestern coast. Alduria neighbors Antakia, which lies inland of its mainland territories; Constancia, along a short land border near the northern coast of the Gulf of Aqaba; and shares a small land border with the Bassarid river enclave of Vandía-Levi. The Altusian islands lie offshore of the nation of Zeed, and two island enclaves - one Bassarid and one Florian - lie offshore of Alduria's northwestern coast. The fellow region of the Islas de la Libertad lie rather distantly to the north.
Since the latest expansion of Antakia into the Razamin Desert, Alduria's only land border with the Green is in central northern Eura.
Keltia
The territories of Nouvelle Alexandrie in Keltia are not all connected by land, but are concentrated in the south and southern center of the continent. They make up four of the federation's regions.
The Wechua Nation is the most inland of the Keltian regions, touching the sea only around Judah, in the region's far west - near to the former Caputian heartlands - and around Santurce and San Francisco in the region's south, near the border with the neighboring region of Santander. Between these two points, the region shares an international border on its southwestern side with the Bassarid homeland of Passas, which is sandwiched between the Wechua Nation and the sea. The borders with Passas and Santander are the region's only land borders; the eastern and southern frontiers make up the federation's longest border with the Green. The only purely maritime border of note is with the Hexarchy, some of whose islands lie off the coast of Judah.
The region of Santander lies south of the Wechua Nation, which it faces on its northwestern border. It is bordered by water to both west (by the Captive Sea) and east (by Lake Chelkra), and faces the Green in the northeast and along the central portion of its southern border, where the Cheruskan Highlands lie outside effective control. The remainder of the same border faces against the Bassarid Dependency of Tanah-Baru, which separates Santander from the region of Valencia. There is an additional border, in that Santander completely surrounds the Federal Capital District, a small circular region-level territory centered on the federation's capital city, Cárdenas.
The last of the Keltian regions, Valencia, lies in the far south of Keltia, consisting of two disconnected mainland territories, one occupying a peninsula in the west and one in the east - each sandwiched between Tanah-Baru and the sea - and the island of Port Cardozo between them. The only clear maritime border lies with a possession of the Hexarchy, an island off the tip of the western peninsula, though there are Phinbellan islands further along the same chain, and the mainland territory of Arbor is not far from eastern Valencia by sea.
Lyrica
Aside from the territory of Hurmu in the north, the entirety of Lyrica, including its associated islands, is under Nouvelle Alexandrian sovereignty. It is divided into two regions, North Lyrica and South Lyrica, by the island's two major rivers and the lowest topography between them. It shares a maritime border with Kendall Isle territories of Çakaristan to the west, but its others are all with other regions of the federation: the Islas de la Libertad to the south; New Luthoria to the southeast; and the Isles of Caputia to the east.
