'''Arkjatar''' (Sk.: [ɚˈɕatɚ]; locally [ɛɽˈçatəɽ]) is a peculiar country as, apart from the markedly oceanic coast, its interior sees the border between the subarctic taiga and the temperate biomes (decidual forests closer to the coast, but also some grasslands farther away). The Gdaron (loc.: [ˈgdɛɽon]) river, the main one of the country, is somewhat a boundary as north and east of it the taiga predominates while south and west the temperate biome is dominant. | '''Arkjatar''' (Sk.: [ɚˈɕatɚ]; locally [ɛɽˈçatəɽ]) is a peculiar country as, apart from the markedly oceanic coast, its interior sees the border between the subarctic taiga and the temperate biomes (decidual forests closer to the coast, but also some grasslands farther away).

'''Karynaktja''' (Sk.: [ | '''Karynaktja''' (Sk.: [karɯˈnɒtʃa]; locally [kaɽˈnaktˢa]) is the most populated country of Greater Skyrdagor, thanks to the large alluvial plain of the ''Gitran'' (loc.: [ˈɟiʈɽɒŋ]) river that makes up most of the country, apart for the ''Ratszan'' [ˈɽatsɒŋ] 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). | ||
'''Tulfasysz''' (Sk.: [ˈtulfəʃɯs]; locally [ˈtuwɸaʃuʃ]) 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'' [ˈplɛzus] 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. | '''Tulfasysz''' (Sk.: [ˈtulfəʃɯs]; locally [ˈtuwɸaʃuʃ]) 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'' [ˈplɛzus] inland lake, shared with Gorjan and the Chlouvānem Inquisition.
