| - Disonda is an island in the Meridic Ocean lying 90 nautical miles due east of the larger island of Sunfalla, entirely occupied by the Kingdon of Altland, on which Disonda is politically dependent. To the north of Disonda lies the disputed island of Ptica, an ecological park; to the southeast is a northward jutting peninsula of Glaciaria whose northernmost half is occupied by the internationally disputed territory of Fort Capital; to the southwest lies the island nation of Namuria. The island is divided in four provinces: Cavalera (capital: Cratera, pop. 106.785), Costabenita (capital: Castelnova, pop. 99.577), Frumenterra (capital: Sant'Antonio, pop. 87.891) and Montagna (capital: Montmartins, pop. 30.116), plus a Federal District housing the national capital of Unitat (pop. 55.292). The total population adds to approximately 2.500.000, at an average density of 94.6 inhabitants per square mile.
