Boondoxia was a former country and Region in Northern Ostentia. Following the country's transition to a federal system, it was split into the states of Olin and Mentagnus. Flat, yet alkaline soils make Boondoxia entirely unsuitable for most types of farming, and hence industry has grown. Cities sprawl across the flat land, pumping smoke into the atmosphere. Two rivers snake across the plains, supported on a bed of clay several miles wide, where smallholdings may set up. The highlands of Boondoxia also boast a fledgling wine industry, due to the ideal prevailing winds and soils.
