| - The country gradually moves north to south from a polar climate in the far north to a temporate oceanic climate in the far south of the southernmost Eisenhower peninsular. Most of the peninsular is on of huimid continental climate to boreal in nature. The Central Platue is mostly a rugged heath land leading in to a pine forest in it's north. Roughly central to the heath land sector is the largly tourist and forstry related town of Oshkosh. The northern 20% is very rugged and the home of the Lincoln Mountains, at the heart of which are the 29,000ft Mount Lincoln, 24,000ft Mount Washington, 22,500ft Mount Jefferson, 15,000ft Mount Ike and 12,662 ft Borah Peak. There are the lesser mountains in the central 30%. The Crandall Canyon and most of the mineral mines are with in this zone. Basaltic lava flows, granite rocks and mostly extinct volcanic peaks are common here. Olivine and granite are mined some places. The capital, Des Mones is a major trading and fishing port at the farthest point of the almost completely fat and often stormy Eisenhower Peninsulars. Most manufacturing and agricultural industry is concentrated in this city. Just north are Des Mones are Fairmont, Minneapolis, Iowa Falls and Nightingale Air Base in that order. Most of the peninsular is humid continental climate and used for high yield cattle, sheep and goat farming. Shilo is a boral fishing port on the western side of the peninsular just above were it joins the mainland. Maddison is a similar settlement on the opposite side of the peninsular behind the Brown Mountains. Pierre and Sioux Falls are industrial ports in the centre of the eastern Ike Bay between the southern Bullock and northern Grant Peninsular. The climate is of a taiga nature here. Pierre is a polluted place with numerous slag heaps testifying to it's 500 year old coal and anthracite mining history.
