Northern Gronk is situated in northern and central part of Old Continent, the Capital city being in 3e-3n sector according to old Christiana notation (32°N-38°E), covering the most of the teritories of the pre-plague Gronkian Empire.
The Northern Gronk borders to the north to the North Gronkian Sea, region that is famous for their beaches and plesant climate, and Northern Ocean in Red Sky Lakes Land, with subpolar climate.
The West Coast region is on the banks of the Bay of Merité, while the state of the same name occupies the southern part of the Gulf. The Great Lakes are also divided between the two nations, and are famous hunting and recreational resort.
The westernmost region of the land is known recently as the Forgetten territory, due to an error made by Central Geographic Society. Though, the error was corrected, the name persists. Ancient fishermans huts are found there as the confirmation of the Gronkian pressence in the area in the time long behind us.
On the east of the Capital region there are the Gold Mountains, not only renown for their mineral wealth, but as well as the regions of the clean and healthy air. The government of Northern Gronk successfully invested considerable amounts of money to enable the preservance of this natural features from possible polution from the numerous gold, diamond and coal mines there.
Further to the east there are Kras Mountains, and border with Eastern Zartania and Whitlam. The smaller of the two Tabitha Salt Lakes, Ginhead (Kimhoon in older Gronkian sources) in entiery in NG, while Northern Gronk shares the with two eastern neighbours, the bigger one - Nomar (which is Zartanian name, Gronkian - Weiquan or evan earlier Wake-one). On the coasts of Nomar there is the city of Tabitha, one of the ancients centers of Gronkian culture and state, today an important harbour. The sister city of Tabitha, Regina city is today far away from Northerngronkain mainland. After the partition of Terramarcian state Regina ended up in Westermarc, with whom NG signed a long term lease treaty for the city and close surrounding.
To the south of Capital there is great plateau of the Yoakes Plains. That is a large region of arid climate with litle water and some of the rearest spicies of animal and plant life could be found there.
On the south Northern Gronk borders with Armatirion Republic and Sea of Eulos. In south-east, on borders with both Whitlam and Armatirion, there are Zibkan Mountains (or Seepaeykuie Mts.) and on the other side of them the famous Four Point, common border of NG, Armatirion, Whitlam and Westermarc.
On the beaches of the Sea of Eulos there is rich region of Eulosa, and Gronkian access to the hot seas. Over the souther end of the Yokes Mountains, there is Arimone region, and over the mountains there is a fruitful valley and mountains of the Chain of K'nix. Further to the west there is great rainforest region of Darkwood.


Northern Gronkian overseas possesions


Northern Gronk in Vexillium holds several possesions.

The biggest inhabitable one is Novoyoakes in Vexilla Nova on western Delgania and southeastern Fiarria continents. Novoyoakes is souvereign NG territory under temporarily administration of the Free Confederacy, according to treaty signed in early 298 A.P. giving the right of exploration and administration of the sector to the Free Confederacy, while retaining souvereignity. The treaty is probably going to be closed in near future and demarcation would be made.

In south of Cislendian Ocean on the edge of the ever ice-covered world, NG have a big island of New Periala, which due to the sea streams remains inhabitable, with rather pleasant climate for that latitudes - just opposite effect that the same system of streams gives to Islandia much further north.

The Central-Meridic Isles consist of three bigger islands and several smaller rocks in eastern central part of Meridic Ocean, south of Smalik and Longerath. Populated only after NG discovery, they are mostly oriented on fisherry and limited turism. In the nothern point of New Arunde island there is Davenportian Meteorological Observatory. Davenport claims souvereignity over the whole island, and the conflict in taken out of drawers from time to time. However, both local villagers and Davenportian scientists found that they are much better off in cooperation.

The northernmost peninsula of Glaciaria polar continent is separatly administered territory, Fort Capital Territory, being the only part of Glaciaria not covered by ice cap troughout the year. Fort Capital is mostly the base for polar regions scientists and rare fishermen.

Glaciaria continent is divided in Gronkian and Lendian sector by 90°E and 90°W meridians, Gronkian baing on old Vexillium side. Glaciaria is nearly without exception permanently covered with ice, and uninhabitable. Some scientific bases have benn established on the coasts, the biggest being New Gronk base near the point where 45°W meridian crosses the Glaciarian coast.
