Different Maps of Saint Celine

Sidenote from Writer

So to the few people who care about consistency, if you go on
on the Nordic Lands map, which is Linkhere, you'll see that Saint Celine
looks nothing like what I'm going to depict here.
To that i say, completely ignore the Nordic Lands map, it's not canon.

Geographical Map

The geographical map of Saint Celine showcases the vast expanse of this remarkable nation, extending over a substantial area of 13 million square kilometers. This expansive territory is home to a diverse population of approximately 1.13 billion Celineans. The map outlines the overall area that is considered official part of the Secularist Empire, the border map visually represents the sheer scale of the nation, symbolizing the unity and rich cultural heritage of its people.
Regional Map

The regional map of Saint Celine reflects the dynamic growth and evolution of its cities and territories. Notably, the capital city of Nodland and the bustling megalopolis of Bardu have experienced such significant expansion that they are now recognized as distinct regions within Saint Celine. These vibrant urban centers have become major economic, cultural, and administrative hubs, attracting people from all walks of life.

Furthermore, following the annexation of Brazilistan, a thoughtful approach was taken to ensure the preservation of the national identity of Brazilistanis. As a result, when regional maps are drawn, Saint Celine and Celinean Brazilistan are depicted as separate entities, almost resembling two different countries. While the borders between other regions are not emphasized, the delineation between Saint Celine and Celinean Brazilistan is prominently marked, symbolizing the unique cultural heritage and history of both regions within the broader context of Saint Celine. This approach recognizes the importance of preserving and celebrating the distinctiveness of each region while fostering unity and cooperation under the banner of Saint Celine.

Population Density Map

The population density map of Saint Celine showcases interesting patterns and concentrations of inhabitants across the nation. It is evident that the coastal regions of Saint Celine experience the highest population density, with a significant concentration of people along the coastlines. This is primarily attributed to the availability of resources, access to trade routes, and the historical development of ports and cities in these areas.

The largest city, situated along the coast of Saint Celine, stands out as a prominent red spot on the map. This bustling metropolis serves as an economic and cultural powerhouse, attracting a substantial number of residents and visitors. As the heart of commerce, innovation, and governance, it plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation's trajectory.

In Celinean Brazilistan, the map highlights a distinct red spot, representing the old capital of the region. This location holds historical significance, reflecting the heritage and legacy of the former capital city. While it may not be the current administrative center, its prominence on the map serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Celinean Brazilistan within the broader context of Saint Celine.

A typical property of a farmland, to encourage farming amongst it's citizens, buying land in Saint Celine is relatively cheap compared to many other places.

In the city map of Saint Celine, you will find different categories that highlight the diversity and population sizes of major cities. Let's explore these categories and their distinctive features:

Cities: These urban centers are marked by blue stars on the map. They have a population ranging from 1 to 5 million people. While they are significant hubs within Saint Celine, they are smaller in comparison to other categories. These cities contribute to the economic and social fabric of the nation, offering various amenities and opportunities to their residents.

Metropolis: The metropolises are denoted by larger blue stars on the map. They are characterized by a population ranging from 5 to 20 million people. These cities represent significant population centers with heightened economic activities, cultural diversity, and infrastructural development. They serve as regional powerhouses, attracting people from surrounding areas for various purposes, such as work, education, and entertainment.

Megalopolis: The megalopolises are marked by distinctive purple stars on the map. Currently, only Nodland and Bardu fall under this category. They boast a population of 20 to 50 million people, indicating their immense size and influence within Saint Celine. Nodland, being the capital, is distinguished with a gold star to signify its special status. These megalopolises are dynamic urban environments with a wide range of industries, services, and cultural institutions.

An interesting feature on the map is the presence of green areas, representing the "Farmlands." These regions are characterized by sparsely populated areas or towns primarily inhabited by farmers. They contribute to the agricultural productivity of Saint Celine, offering a more rural and serene environment compared to the bustling cities. These areas provide essential resources and contribute to the nation's food security.

Fun fact:Despite being around 19% of the population, the farmlands make up for 90% of Celineans who use cars. This is because many urban dwellers don't feel the need to use cars as the public transport in Saint Celine's cities is very often used and well funded.
