If you look at Asendavia’s original borders, the western border is the Ademarite mountain range. ---

I imagine Mexregiona as being really flat and low in terms of elevation, especially near the Lubricus Flumine (the river between the USM and Tretrid). Therefore, I don’t see much activity going on in Western Atlantia, unless Tretrid and others have something against that in their roleplay. An exception to the low elevation of the USM are the many islands the nation controls. The Arch Archipelago (really thoughtful name, I know) is quite volcanic, as it would definitely fit within the Ring of Fire. Speaking of which, perhaps the Urth could have an alternate name for the Ring of Fire. (Example: the ‘Gauntlet of Flame’) ---

Chianski is a tropical island chain with a dormant volcano forming one of the islands. ---

Oh, Mex, on your NSwiki page, you say: “Tretrid never borders the USM; instead, it is separated by Parish Bay: the delta of Lubricus Flumine. The Flumine is a prominent geographic feature for both nations, and provides a heavy trade route for international use.” Maybe Parish Bay could be opened up by a fault line, which extends down to no-man’s land between you and Prussia. ---

The west coast of Tretrid is dotted by dormant and extinct stratovolcanoes. There hasn’t been a recorded eruption since the 1960s. And I’ll be willing to have Urthquake zones. ---

A long, long time ago I drew a rough idea for my mountain ranges here- [spoiler][http://i.imgur.com/ZSII84e.png](http://i.imgur.com/ZSII84e.png) [/spoiler] If this helps at all, thats good- however this is not final and I will happily adopt whatever realistic system we come up with here! ---

Dragonia’s Moonstone Mountains [spoiler][http://i.imgur.com/h8J1BNF.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/h8J1BNF.jpg) [/spoiler] The ‘green’ space in the mountains is the caldera of an non-active volcano … the lake is always warm, even in the middle of winter and the height of summer the water stays a constant temperature, maybe with a 10° difference up or down depending on the season. The mountains break up and follow the chain of islands. ---

I always imagined the Oan Isles proper (the islands directly next to Lazlowia and Xiopothos) being Urthquake, volcanic eruption, cyclone/typhoon/hurricane, tsunami disaster area, sort of like IRL Japan, so if major lines must pass through there, it’ll be great. ---

Dunno what BFADLP is, but Toksun Ance is the replacement for Haaviland. ---

After plenty of research and guesstimating, I’ve come up with an updated map regarding this subject. East Malaysia said he/she/it/they would be sending geologic information pertaining to his/her/its/their nation and Free Pacific States, if possible. If you or anyone you know may have extra input on the subject, it’d be much appreciated if it were turned in to yours truly or a de facto cartographer.

If we’re going off the idea that the Ademarite mountain range is like the Himalayas (in terms of plate tectonics at least, y’know Indian plate and Eurasian plate colliding) then the fault line is a bit too far west (in case I am understanding this right). The proper are for it would be represented in this image here. [spoiler][http://i.imgur.com/PIlJE5U.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/PIlJE5U.jpg) [/spoiler] It doesn’t have to match up exactly of course, it can vary as long as it roughly follows the western border. ---
