The country gradually moves north to south from a polar climate in the far north to a oceanic climate in the far south of the southernmost Eisenhower peninsular. Most of the peninsular is on of timid continental climate to boral in nature.

The northern 20% is very rugged and the home of the Lincoln Mountains, at the heart of which are the 29,000ft Mount Lincoln, 24,000ft Mount Washington, 22,500ft Mount Jefferson and 15,000ft Mount Ike.

The capital, Des Mones is a major trading and fishing port at the farthest point of the almost completely fat and often stormy Eisenhower Peninsular. Most manufacturing and agricultural industry is concentrated in this city.

just north are Des Mones are Fairmont, Minneapolis, Iowa Falls and Nightingale Air Base in that order. Most of the peninsular is humid continental climate and used for high yield cattle, sheep and goat farming. Shilo is a boral fishing port on the western side of the peninsular just above were it joins the mainland. Maddison is a similar settlement on the opposite side of the peninsular behind the Brown Mountains.

Pierre and Sioux Falls are industrial ports in the centre of the eastern Ike Bay between the southern Bullock and northern Grant Peninsular. The climate is of a taiga nature here. Pierre is a polluted place with numerous slag heaps testifying to it's 500 year old coal and anthracite mining history.
