[The SEA Lands is perhaps one of Maple’s most complicated and fascinating territories. From the supercooled snow covered regions of the Sinorean Mountains to the living skies over New Saskatchewan; from the subzero Mari-Annas Trench to the Great Arid Desert to the Night Lands; from Avasta Gorski to Singapura; the SEA Lands has more natural wonders than any other territory in the Maple Kingdom.

however, outside Singapura, consumers still use NX cash.

ECONOMY/AMINISTRATION
E: The general economy is just an averaged, summarized report of the local economies.
A: Due to differneces between ethnic groups in the SEA Lands, there is no universal legal system. The laws in Singapura are, however, are the basis of law.

Diplomatic link to Orbis:
The SEA Lands is a special administrative region. Political differences between Singapura and Orbis continue to keep tension high.

Getting There:
Maple Name Tag, a valid permit, and a good amount of money is required.
At the terminal at Orbis Station, GMs will ask to inspect everything you have, and ask for these things.
You must declare:
+How much money you have
+mana fuel/ HP fuel
+weapons if any.
Undeclared items will be seized.

A one way ticket to Riprey costs 120K, but you’ll be asked to show a round trip ticket or denied entry. So you need the round trip ticket which is about 480K. The round trip bus ticket between Leafre and Singapura will cost 70K. Be sure to have plenty of cash to cover unexpected costs at the checkoint between the Korean Lands and the SEA Lands

Going to Orbis: While SEA Landers are allowed to go to the Korean Lands, you need the things mentioned above in order to be allowed on the BlueBird plane to Orbis.

The wonders::
SINGAPURA: The largest city in the SEA Lands; Singapura is home to 15 million people. Has plenty to offer for everyone. Crime is low, and it is generally safe to walk around.
Strict laws and penalties such as 1 million meso fine for eating on the bus, or spitting on the sidewalk, etc may seem uptight to out-of-towners, but following these and other laws help people keep the country’s cleanest city clean.
climate: In the summer, Singapura gets heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, even tornadoes out in the water. Year round, the temperature never drops below 20*C.

GREAT ARID DESERT:
Seen from the sky, the Desert looks like a crater with a red dot in the middle.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, a huge meter hit the SEA Lands. On impact, the comet shattered and melted into the planet’s crust. The only thing that remains of the comet is Ayer Rock, a mountain sized gem of red rock and garnet ore. The Rock is 4000 meters high, and stands as the shorter twin mountain of the Desert Maiden; a mound over 7000 meters tall.
The Arid Desert is well known for its extreme heat. At the peak of any day year round, the heat from the Sun warms the ground surface to 71*C. A layer of carbon dioxide traps heat from the Sun; maintaining such high temperatures. The crater’s edge, the Kalgoorie Ridge traps the hot air inside. It has been told, that in the hundreds of millions of years, clouds have never formed in the crater.

NIGHT LANDS
The night lands has earned this nickname because the light of day never touches this turf. As the planet rotates, its many moons orbiting it will block out the Sun’s light over the area; resulting in a never-ending solar eclipse, from dawn until dusk. On the other hand, sunlight touching other moons reflects down on the region 24 hours a day.
Instead of the tall forests that coat the land, a carpet of thick moss and plants that feed off of gases from geothermal vents blankets the ground. Bioluminescent plants and animals light up the night with a never ending show of sparkling lights. The landscape is constantly glowing.

AVASTA GORSKI
Avasta Gorski, or Mount Avasta in English, is the tallest, and most visible object in the entire SEA Lands, and is visible from Orbis on a good day. The towering mountain of orihalcon ore rises to a height of 150,000 feet. The cities and settlements that are home to the Polski people sit closer to the mountain’s base. The town of Rypin sits at an elevation of 17,000 feet, and is the highest altitude town in the country after Orbis.
The mountain is exposed to the extreme air currents in the winter. Powerful winds slam into the mountainside at speeds of 700 miles per hour or even more and are forced downward. During the winter months, the icy winds blast over the SEA Lands, bringing temperatures to an average of -40.
The Polski people established their cities long before the Maple Kingdom was founded, and have their own administration over the mountain.
The mining companies here are tje nation’s biggest producers of orihalcon metal.

MARI-ANNA’S TRENCH
The M-A’s Trench stretches for nearly a thousand miles along the Sinorean Mountains. This long canyon is about 12 miles deep into the ground. Rather than a lava gorge, the MAT’s bottom is a breaking point for millions of vents that release supercooled gases and liquids. The temperature in the bottom is -199 on average. Liquid methane coats the ground like mud. Liquid nitrogen rains down in these giant caverns. In these frigid temperatures, water or ice is like brittle rock.
It is rumored that life exists in the bottom of the Trench, but nothing has ever been confirmed.

NEW SASKATCHEWAN
Flat. That’s all that’s needed to describe the land. Prairies and farmlands stretch as far as the eye can see.
NSK is known for it’s fearsome and shock’n’awe weather. Quoted as the ‘Land of the Living Skies,’ NSK is home to extreme thunderstorms, cloud formations, violent winds, and extreme temperatures.
In the winter, air currents bend downward, bringing in freezing winds that push the temperature gage well below zero for weeks at a time. The deceiving thing is that during these furious windstorms, the air is perfectly clear, unless it’s a snowstorm. The invisible storms can start up without any warning, and are only detectable by the movment of the tall grass, or objects being blown in the air.
During the night, the sky is lit up by auroras (the northern lights) and these amazing lightshows can take on all kinds of patterns and colors for any amount of time. Every few years in January, the whole night sky lights up, and makes for one hell of a show.

In the summer, New Saskatchewan is completely different place.
Black cloud formation and stormcells cover the land 61% of the time. When it rains, rain drops as long as a pen hit the ground. Hail the size of basketballs bombard any exposed surface.
Lightning is a spectacular as it is deadly. lightning bolts strike at a frequency of 162 per second, delivering thunder claps louder than a thousand decibels. In some rare storms, the static is so bad that a discharge or bolt will strike, and not disappear for as long as a minute. One such storm in 1974 yielded long wide electrical streams that lasted over 45 minutes.
If you are in New Saskatchewan, and you hear thunder, see lightning or even thunder clouds, get indoors FAST.
More than half the time, these storms are invisible if there is no precipitation. In the day, invisible lightning storms rage across the open land. At night, if you are REALLY lucky, you can see sweetass light show without getting hit.

One of NSK’s most famous features is thunder music. Due to magnetic anomalies here, electrical discharges occur at any voltage and frequency, shedding light of any color, and sound of any frequency, note, key, and pitch.
While none of this thunder music is the same of any piece written, the impromptu music is awesome none the less.
Many daredevils will engage in musical jam sessions during the storms. And of course, the windstorms are always about to pop up without any warning.

Temperatures in the summer can soar up to 60*C during heat waves, and the average day temperature is 40*C, however one of the biggest and most dangerous thing after lightning is the Sun. New Saskatchewan lies under a patch of thin ozone and is exposed to the solar and cosmic radiation that seeps through. During the worst times, the sun has appeared as one great black spot in the sky. Despite it is a black spot, it is the brightest thing in the sky.

Exposed skin will fry instantly in the red-tainted summer sunlight. You know you are being burned when you feel electrical tingling in your skin where the sunlight is touching.

New Saskatchewan is home to species of animals that cannot be found anywhere else.
During calm weather, huge herds of gigantic rabbits the size of bulls to elephants can be seen marching across the grassy land. giant kangaroos, wombats and other over grown species are seen on the fields.
Fuzzjets are animals that resemble balls of fur with grown jets. These mammals’ bodies produce gases and burn them as they rocket through the sky. When not flying, fuzzjets tread the ground on small feet. For the most part, Most of these animals are vegetarian, but a few are meat eaters and prey on all of them.
When the sky is not pierced and cut by lightning and thunder, it is ruled by giant birds, air-whales, and other airborne species that arrive and leave New Saskatchewan via the jet streams and air currents.
One notable species is the silverhawk, a fearsome bird of prey with silver feathers. One feather from these birds is worth about 1.3 billion mesos in the Free Market.

ZIPANGU and NEW JAPAN:
Zipangu is home to the Mushroom Shrine and ranch. The people here engage in a very small religion where they worship and care for the mushroom animals.
Zipangu used to be known for its scenery, the blossom trees, and the mysterious gieshas that roam the forests; now it as the place where the only good Gachapon machine is located.

New Japan is dotted with Buddhism and Shinto shrines, ancient Angel ruins, and the noob reserves on Casseopia and Pupura Islands.

KASHKUN:
In the 1950’s and 60’s, the southern areas of New Saskatchewan and the mountains of Kashkun had to be evacuated because of the hackium waste left by the bombs. The old cities of Xianga and Wenjen had to be evacuated because of all the atomic waste dumped on the cities.
Kashkun is home to most of the hacker population; many of whom have been returning from around New Saskatchewan and Victoria to re-build their homes.
The mountainous region is also home to a large yeti population at Bulan Kampung. In recent months, BK has been a major pitstop for hackers, Permanoobs and other Kerning city denizens who were forced to flee the city.
Victoria is accessible via an old road that goes past Mt. Kulai and Mt. Elune into Zhonguo. The road leads right to a bridge over Corazon Canyon and down to Victoria.]
