Continentie

Continentie is a fictional continent used in world-building and speculative geography. It represents a large landmass situated in a temperate to tropical belt of a hypothetical world. The coastline is varied, with fjord-like inlets, river deltas, and offshore reefs, while the interior features a central high plateau ringed by mountain ranges.

Geography and climate: Continentie encompasses multiple climate zones. In the northern highlands, cool temperate climates give way to mild summers and cold winters; the equatorial belt contains tropical rainforests and savannas; the southern interior hosts arid deserts and highland steppe. Major river systems drain into coastal plains and delta regions that support intensive agriculture.

Ecology: The continent hosts diverse ecosystems, including temperate broadleaf forests, tropical rainforests, grasslands, wetlands, and alpine zones. Endemic species and convergent adaptations appear across habitats. Deforestation and climate change are common topics in its ecological discourse within this fictional setting.

Society and politics: Continentie is subdivided into regional entities that range from federations to city-state networks. There is no single sovereign state; governance occurs through regional councils, inter-regional forums, and mutual-aid pacts. The economy is mixed, with agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and services. Trade routes link coastal ports with inland markets, supported by rail and river transport.

History and culture: The name Continentie appears in early cartography and was popularized by explorers in the fictional world. Cultural practices reflect a blend of migrations and indigenous traditions; languages belong to several families and writing systems; music, literature, and cuisine show regional variety.
