Aurora
The Far South
Climate
Aurora is a dry, desert-like nation that receives very little rain. It's never once snowed, even in the coldest reaches of winter; the temperature has never even dipped below 70°F. Spring and fall are just about the same, and are just a bit hotter than winter. Summer, though, really raises the temperature. Heat waves and droughts ravage the unprepared, while others hoard water in the coldest spots of their basements.
Geography
As previously said, Aurora is a country built on mountains of sand. It is a land that some would call inhabitable, but those people are also fools. While many picture Aurora as an endless wasteland of sand, it is really much more than that. Some parts of Aurora are extremely rocky, like the area surrounding Devil's Arch. There are tons of oases, most of which have already had thriving cities built around them. Other than that, there are many cactuses growing in the sand, which can be a reliable source of water. Also, there are a few trees that grow, providing food, though they are spread out. Other than these separations from any old desert, Aurora is just full of dunes, ergs, and strange rock formations.
Landmarks
The Wall
Aurora Canyon
Devil's Arch
Moonlight Oasis
(I originally had more, but I lost the post and didn't have the energy to redo any more than this. It wasn't much more anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter much.)
