City of Terra The City of Terra is the capital of the Kingdom of Men. It is located in Eastern Siccus, as the builders tried to make it close to the border area where all the states meet, but also tried to make it as close to the center of the nation as they could. It is a thriving city, and the largest in the nation, as with most national capitals. Rather than the Pentagon, the builders constructed Tri-Tower as the focal point of government operations. Passing cleanup robots keep the streets surprisingly clean, and the very best facilities in the whole nation take root here. One of these is Military Headquarters, which is not far from Tri-Tower. It is quite a glorious city, as capitals of nations should be. However, security around Tri-Tower is very tight, and gets tighter every day. |

City of Argentum Argentum, located on Siccus' western shores and therefore a port city, is the second largest city in Siccus, as it is the state capital. It is quite a unique city, as it has been made largely from the rocks and trees in the area, which have a distinct silver cast about them. This is where it got its name, once again in Latin. Some people say the builders mixed real silver in with some of the more important buildings, such as Argentum's own Tri-Tower and Military Headquarters. Argentum is a very important trade city, as it is the Kingdom of Men's main port. The port is the most well-kept port you'll find anywhere in the Kingdom of Men, and it is a wonderful sight. Most of the nation's naval fleet is kept here. Security around Argentum's Tri-Tower is tight, though not quite as tight as Terra's. |

Bacatus Marsh On Siccus' southern border, Bacatus, meaning "set with pearls" in Latin, seems to live up to its name when seen from the right perspective. From the air, the large pools that dot this land seem like dyed pearls set into the land like a piece of fine jewelry. Around the perimeters of the land, the grass is a golden brown, though it turns green as it goes in. There are occasional groves of trees, and even a few farming communities here and there. These communities have been attracted to the fertile soil, and have learned to combat the disease. |

Calico Plains The Calico Plains, stretching across a vast area of the state of Siccus, are truly unique. Patches of prairie a few miles wide are surrounded by thin layers of trees, making it appear rather like a calico cat's tortishell pelt from an aerial view and a hybrid between plains and forest. The southern end is thicker in trees and has more of the deciduous type, and as the plains stretch further north the trees thin out more and become more predominantly coniferous. One theory as to how this one-of-a-kind land feature came about was that it was a massive forest at one point, and the explosion of the Caverns killed some of the trees and left others, creating the eccentric pattern. Frequent streams cut through the land. |

Magen Forest The reason for Magen Forest being named as it has becomes apparent as soon as you step into the shadow cast by the majestic trees. The explorers who first discovered this enormous stretch of land covered with trees were enchanted by the subtle grace of the willowy branches of the trees. Since it seemed magical to them, they named it as they did. Many of the treetrunks are the color of some sort of gem rather than the traditional brown, and it retains the beauty of autumn all year round. Even in winter, it's not foreboding as perhaps it should be. Citizens who know that magic does exist in this new world know that there is actually some passive magic in this landmass. Sadly, though, about half of the citizens think of magic as they always did - a myth to scare children into obedience. Those are in danger in the forest, as some people still do dissapear when wandering too deeply into this enchanted woods... |

Volcanic Flats The Volcanic Flats, on Siccus' northern border, are just as they sound: flat areas of high elevation made of volcanic rock. However, magma constantly lurks beneath the surface, some places closer to the top than others. In some places, the rock on the surface is so warm you could melt through if you stepped in it. In wintertime, it looks like a wasteland belonging in Hell - steam is constantly coming up from the rock, and whatever water has landed is most likely acidic. This is a very perilous place to cross, and only the safest places have been chosen for the Interstate. Hikers are discouraged from traveling here, so be warned of the necessary precautions before traversing this wasteland. |
