[edit] Location

Usea is located in the Northern Hemisphere, east of the Osean continent. It is bordered to the north by the Cascade Ocean, to the west by the Spring Sea, to the south by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the east by the Gulf of Saint Ark. It is about the size of the continental United States, 5,000,000 km².

[edit] Geography

[edit] Physical Geography

Usea's Northeastern coastline is rocky, including the island-nation of North Point.^[1] Further south, the climate becomes temperate near Comberth Harbor^[2] and tropical in the Comonan island chain and Istas Fortress. The coastline on the west is also temperate, but has a desert climate inland, between the Amber and Lambert mountain ranges. The northern coast of the continent has an arctic climate.^[3][4]

[edit] Human Geography

Usea has a wide variety of races. Erusea, on the western coast of the continent, appears influenced by France, Germany and Russia. The name of San Salvacion, and several locations within it suggest that it is a Spanish-influenced area. Junks in the southern area of the continent indicate an Asian area.^[5] Usea is divided into three time zones, Usea Eastern Standard Time, Usea Central Standard Time, and Usea Western Standard Time.^[6] Usea was heavily damaged by the impact of the Ulysses 1994XF04 asteroid in 1998, killing 500,000 people.^[7] The migration of refugees from affected areas and damage to Usea's economy also resulted in turmoil throughout the continent.

[edit] Notable Places

• Anchor Point City - Located on a river between the Amber and Lambert mountain ranges, Anchor Point City was once a large port. After a fragment of Ulysses XF04 impacted nearby, the river dried up, and the city has been abandoned.^[8]
• Caranda, Crowne, and Halle Beaches - Rocky beaches on the southern shore. Site of ISAF's southern landing operation.^[9]
• Comberth Harbor - Large harbor on Usea's east coast. It was the site where the Aegir Fleet was destroyed on November 23, 2004.^[10]
• Comona Islands - Tropical island chain off of the southeastern coast. Site of a rocket launch facility and small ISAF air base.^[11] Purchased by Neucom, Inc. sometime after 2005.^[12]
• Farbanti - City on the west coast, and the capital of Erusea. Although it was devastated by the planetfall of Ulysses XF04, the city eventually recovered from the disaster. It was the site of Operation: Autumn Thunder on September 19, 2005 when ISAF put Farbanti under siege.^[13]
• Los Canas - City in the center of the continent with mountainous terrain.^[14]
• Ice Creek - Cove on the northern coast of the continent. Site of ISAF's northern landings in the Continental War during Operation: Aurora.^[15]
• Istas Fortress - Plateaus on the continent's southern peninsula. The rock formations and rainforest make this a very effective natural fortress. Also the location of Scion fixed-wing Air Base, a fixed-wing VTOL/rotary wing base and submarine pens.^[16]
• Mariton Territory - An undeveloped area claimed by both Neucom, Inc. and General Resources.
• Megafloat - A large, artificial island built by Neucom, Inc in the Gulf of St. Ark. Construction began in 2005,^[17] and was completed in 2039. The bottom of the structure was hollowed out, and was used the X-49 Night Raven's base during testing. The island was destroyed when a UPEO fighter and the X-49 engaged in combat in the underground area in 2046.
• North Point - Nation located on the northeastern island of the same name. It served as the headquarters for ISAF during the Continental War, and was never taken over by Erusea. During the Circum-Pacific War, it was a neutral nation, and the location of peace talks.^[18] During Ace Combat 2, the island was the site of the Megalith-like superweapon Fortress Intolerance.
• Saint Ark - Northeastern city. Attacked by terrorists in Ace Combat 2. During the Continental War, it was the last city on the mainland evacuated by ISAF forces before withdrawing to North Point.
• San Salvacion - Neutral nation located in the center of the continent. It was invaded by Erusea during the Continental War because Stonehenge was located in the country. The nation's strategic location at the center of the continent has made it the site of many wars throughout history.^[19]
• Scali - Southern island, headquarters of an anti-FCU insurgency.^[20]
• Snyder's Top - An area in northern Usea, and the location of the Neo-United Nations headquarters.
• Twinkle Islands - An island chain with rocky terrain off of Erusea's southwestern coast. This was also the location of Megalith.^[21]
• Waosun - Home port of the CV-04 Fort Grace.^[22]
