An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Republic occupies both of the Twin Islands, which form most of its land area. These islands are a part of the Macaronesia region - a large group of several archipelagos in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Ilhos Gêmeos lie Southwest of Madeira, and Northwest of Canary Islands - roughly equidistant between the two. The smaller of the Twin Islands, Refúgia, is to the Northwest, and is home to the capital city (also called Refúgio) - which occupies a large part of the island. The terrain of Refúgia island is predominantly forested, though warm beaches ring the coast, and the rocky Mount Ferreira dominates the Southeast.

abstract
  • The Republic occupies both of the Twin Islands, which form most of its land area. These islands are a part of the Macaronesia region - a large group of several archipelagos in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Ilhos Gêmeos lie Southwest of Madeira, and Northwest of Canary Islands - roughly equidistant between the two. The smaller of the Twin Islands, Refúgia, is to the Northwest, and is home to the capital city (also called Refúgio) - which occupies a large part of the island. The terrain of Refúgia island is predominantly forested, though warm beaches ring the coast, and the rocky Mount Ferreira dominates the Southeast. Estoril, the larger island, is to the Southwest, separated from Refúgia by the very narrow Strait of Estoril. There have been many suggestions put forward about bridging this strait, usually involving either a Suspension bridge or a man-made sandbank. Estoril itself is more desolate than Refúgia. The Northeast coast, close to Refúgia, has broad beaches, while the south and west of the island have steep, rocky cliffs. Despite the comparatively heavy rain that Gemeo receives, a large part of Estoril remains a semi-desert. Because of this, Estoril's population centers mainly sit along the coast. The Republic of Gemeo also controls Shankly Island, a much smaller island to the south of the Gêmeos. Shankly Island is roughly circular, with the majority of the coastline comprising of beaches, but the Western part ends in a cliff-face (which is actually a part of Mount Paisley, a major feature of the island). The interior of Shankly Island is forested, with the forest getting thicker and thicker towards the West. The capital of Shankly Island is Anfield, and it has 2 smaller villages, Dalglish and Liverpool. The only other island of significance is Ram Rock, a tiny outcrop rising almost 20 metres above sea level. Though it is completely uninhabited, Ram Rock is home to a large colony of seabirds, including the rare Gemeo Tern. Ram Rock is currently the country's only national park.
