'''Karynaktja''' [kar(ɯ)natʃa] is the most populated country of Greater Skyrdagor, thanks to the large alluvial plain of the ''Gjolvyr'' [ɟ͡ʝo͡ɔvɯ˞] river that makes up most of the country, apart for the ''Ratszan'' [ratsan] mountains in the north (just south and parallel to the 50th parallel north) and the colder coast north of it. The climate in Karynaktja has more in common with the central and southern islands of Skyrdagor (Tol Sakszyv being roughly on the same latitude as central Karynaktja) and the southern countries than to the subarctic ones to the north, being markedly mediterranean on the coast and continental inland (central-southern France being the closest example on Earth). | '''Karynaktja''' [kar(ɯ)natʃa] is the most populated country of Greater Skyrdagor, thanks to the large alluvial plain of the ''Gjolvyr'' [ɟ͡ʝo͡ɔvɯ˞] river that makes up most of the country, apart for the ''Ratszan'' [ratsan] mountains in the north (just south and parallel to the 50th parallel north) and the colder coast north of it.

'''Tulfasysz''' | '''Tulfasysz''' [tuɮɑʃɯs] is the only landlocked country in Greater Skyrdagor, and it is made up by three different river basins - one draining in the northern Inner Sea through Arkjatar, another into the southern Inner Sea through Karynaktja, and the third into the endorheic ''Plezyth'' [pɬɛzɯθ] inland lake, shared with Gorjan and the Chlouvānem Inquisition. It has the driest climate of all Skyrdegan countries, with many grasslands, but the abundant freshwater still supports a relatively large population. | ||
'''Gorjan''' | '''Gorjan''' [gɚjan] is the southernmost of the adjacent countries of Greater Skyrdagor (and containing the southernmost point of the whole area, including Ylvostydh), and the homonymous river (that begins in Southern Gorjan, a diocese of the Inquisition) that runs all the way through it, south to north, is the main geographical feature of the country. It is the third most populated country of the region, and due to its close proximity with culturally Bronic areas, as well as having been the first area to be contacted by the Chlouvānem cultures, it is culturally peculiar in Greater Skyrdagor, for example for being the only country in the area where up to 37% of the population is Yunyalīlti. | ||
'''Ylvostydh''' | '''Ylvostydh''' [uːʃtɯð] is the geographical outlier of Greater Skyrdagor, being located on the other side of the Inner Sea, divided from the other mainland countries by the Bronic-speaking areas. It was historically the last area to be colonized by Skyrdagor peoples, and it also has a peculiar culture due to being nestled between the Bronic culture space to the southeast and the Qualdomelic one to the southwest. It has the warmest climate of all Greater Skyrdagor, as it is surrounded by the sea on two sides and, apart from the northernmost tip, the whole of the country lies south of the 40th parallel north. | ||
