| - Extropia is currently comprised of two open 'sims', occupying approximately 13 square kilometres (5 square miles) of digital landscape. These two regions, named Extropia Core and Extropia, are surrounded on all sides by open water, though plans to reclaim the Western mainland and colonise as-yet unexplored islands to the East will expand on the region's geographical diversity. The climate is subtropical, supporting a wide variety of plantlife. Extropia benefits from natural and artificial barriers against the harsher elements of weather associated with subtropics. For example Extropia Core, the region's commercial hub, was built behind a submarine rock wall, part of the Tycho Peninsula. This wall acts as a natural wave breaker, allowing hexagonal habitat plates to be floated in the bay. Extropia, to the North, has been designed with raised plates instead, to lift its inhabitants above the prevailing Northern current.
