[edit] Geography
The whole country is a large peninsula called Skatval. The main cities lies along the coast, and the capital is Aglo. Aglo is a small city in comparation with the other cities. The largest city is Fløan [fɽøan]. The largest county is Forbord which is twice as large as the second largest county; Vollsdal. There's not so many rivers or lakes, but a lot of brooks and small, quite romantic, waterfalls.
[edit] Counties
Skatval is divided into counties (fylker), but not any muncipalities (because of Skatval's small size).
The counties are: Forbord, Flioda, Vollemdal, Vinge, Ryken and Skatvold. Skatvold has status as a Central Territory, which is meaningless today; Skatvold was the administration center of the occupation power.
