Topography

Greater Appalachia is generally mountainous throughout much of the nation. The Appalachian Mountains run north-south through the nation. Kentucky and Tennessee have large tracks of rolling hills and plains in their western areas. Virginia and West Carolina have flatter regions of land east of the mountains. Westsylvania also has rolling hills and plains in it's Northeast and southern regions.

Greater Appalachia is technically landlocked, although it maintains a port on Lake Erie in which it can trade with other nations bordering great lakes. Ports along the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio rivers also give the nation access to the ocean via the Gulf of Mexico.
