Geography of Onaway

Onawean geography composes a significant portion of Northeastern Veharia. It shares with Florencia in the west, and with Ungava in the east. Its coastlines stretch from the Arctic Ocean in the remote northwest, the Veharian Great Lakes in the southwest, the Valithor Gulf, the Bay of Ogokanong in the southeast, and the Bay of Saint Brendan in the northeast. Onaway shares a maritime boundary with the Myrish overseas territory of Helsingfed and Salme, the sole remaining constituent territory of New Andemyr, as well as with Táileas on the Bay of Ogokanong. By total area (including its territorial waters), it is the fifth largest sovereign state in the world, after its neighbor Florencia. Of the nation's thirteen Chiefdoms, five are land-locked, with the rest bordering one of two oceans.

After the end of the last glaciation, Onaway has become home to four distinct forest regions, including a massive which occupies much of the Onawean Shield. Roughly 64 percent of the Onawean landmass is covered by forests. Much of these forests are comprised of, , , and. Onaway has over 600,000 lakes - 167 of which are over 100km2 (39 sq mi) in size, giving it a significant amount of Veharia's fresh water. Small freshwater glaciers occupy portions of the Onawean north, most which are seen in the East Skandarin Islands of Washdenong and the North Zhaawanong Cordillera.

Onaway's climate can range from in the north, to warm summers in the southern regions, with four distinct seasons. Due to the nation's insulation from the Allonian Ocean, however, the Onawean climate is somewhat cooler than those in similar latitudes in more oceanic regions.

Climate
Onaway has a varied climate. It ranges from a largely temperate oceanic climate on the southern coasts to subarctic in the north. Many portions of Washdenong, Zhaawanong, and Reshkanko Chiefdoms can have snow for much of the year due to their polar climates. Much of the southern inland regions have a, with the exception of pockets in the Western lakelands which are considered to have a hot summer humid continental climate. Portions of Central Onaway and the Ogokanong Bay region have and  climates.
