Passitania is a state in the Massodeya Valley of the Federal States. Passitania borders Gnaerey and Michisaukee to the north, AR120-08 to the east, New Carnaby and AR120-37 to the south, and Wauseka to the west. The topography of Passitania is dominated in the east by the Asphale Mountains with narrow river valleys and gorges. The Molson River and Beveronto River are the two most dominant rivers in the state, converging in the capital of Madawan. In the west, the state is primarily flat meadows and timberland with occasional rolling hills.

Madawan is the capital and largest metropolitan area of Passitania while Catterick is the largest city.

Passitania is situated in the heart of the Massodeya Valley between the Asphale Mountains in the east and the flat plains in the west. The state is bordered by the state of AR120-08 in the east, with the state border roughly following ridges and rivers. In the south, the state primarily borders AR120-37, however, a small border with New Carnaby exists entirely over Lake Washarniad. In the west, Passitania borders Wauseka with the border entirely made up of (Unnamed River). In the north, Passitania primarily borders the county of Gnaerey, and borders Michisaukee to the northeast with the Molson River making up a sizeable portion of the border.

Eastern Passitania is defined by the large, forested Asphale Mountains and their associated valleys, with lush deciduous and evergreen forests making up a majority of the land in the region. Mountains such as Anna Peak, Mount Molson, and Mount Storm rise well above 3,000 m (above 10,000 feet) in elevation and are full of underground minerals such as iron ore and coal. The headwaters of the major Molson River and (Unnamed River) are located within these towering mountains, with numerous rapids and waterfalls being located as these rivers wind down through the valleys.

In the southeast, the large alpine Lake Onawanda is fed by the Elyria and Sadawuska Rivers, surrounded by large evergreen forests and emptying out through the Onawanda River into the Molson River farther north. Similarly, Lake Carly flows north-northwest via the Beveronto River and is joined by the Haliburton River, Cascade River, and Green River before flowing into the north-center of Passitania and meeting the Molson River.

The Molson River flows westward through the lush Rabana Valley. Plentiful rainfall and large underwater reservoirs create swaths of arable land, dominated by orchards in the higher elevations and leading to farms of corn, wheat, and soybeans in the western regions of the valley. Between the Midland Creek and Beveronto River joining the Molson River is the highest upstream point which ships can travel along the Molson River, allowing maritime trade deep into the heartland of Passitania.

In the far north, the region is dominated by rolling hills which continue throughout the center of Passitania, including the metropolitan areas of Willowbrook and Madawan. These hills persist along the northern reaches of Passitania, westward to near the (Unnamed River) on the Gnaerey border.

The southwest consists primarily of large, flat, arable plains, primarily used for corn, soybeans, and cattle grazing. The (Unnamed River) in the far west is joined by several tributaries, eventually flowing into the Alormen River.

National Government

In the 2023 presidential election, Passitania was awarded 14 electoral votes out of the 551 total votes in the FSA. Similar to other states in the Massodeya Valley, Passitania regularly votes for the right-wing party in the FSA, although there is significant third-party support, particularly in and around the Asphale Mountains.

County Government

Passitania is divided into 83 counties, with the largest being Meadowlands County in the south-center and the smallest being Chaplain County near Carly Lake. Each county sends delegates to the Passitania House of Delegates, the number of which is proportional to the county population. Each county additionally has their own county-specific legislature, known as the XX Board of Representatives, where XX is the name of the county. These county legislatures focus more on local issues, such as localized ordinances, issuing licenses, and carrying out the broader orders from the Passitania state government.

Each county has a county seat, which is usually the largest city or the most central city within the county. This is where government offices are located and the city in which the county courthouses are located (with the exception of Beveronto County, where the Beveronto County Courthouse is located in Amber).

Transportation

Highways

Major highways in Passitania are under the authority of the Passitania Department of Transportation (PassDOT). Nationwide motorways are under the authority of the Federal States Defense and Commerce Motorway Network and follow the rules of that department. Primary state highways are numbered 1-10, and secondary state highways are numbered 11-100. Tertiary state highways are numbered 101-999, with the last two numbers matching the two numbers on the state highway they connect to (State Route XYZ would connect to State Route YZ). Numbered highways are colloquially referred to as "Route X", "Highway X", or "State Road X", where X is the number of the highway. On maps, they are typically denoted as PS-X.

Madawan Colorways

In the city of Madawan, PassDOT created a series of toll roads reaching various parts of Stover County, Beveronto County, and Kennetall County. These toll roads are intended to alleviate traffic in and around the Madawan metropolitan area, and all tolls are open-road with the Mass-Pass.

State Highways

Example of a Passitania State Highway shield. The blue and gold colors are from the flag, and the state outline is in the background. The hexagon design around the numbers is to pay homage to the FSA highway sign design.

Passitania State Highways operate from numbers 000-999. Highways 1-10 are the most major of these highways, and typically traverse large distances or important corridors within the state. Highways 11-100 are considered secondary state highways, and traverse less important corridors or serve as arteries throughout towns. Highways 101-999 are considered tertiary highways, and traverse within city centers or minor corridors. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as PS-15, the historic parkway throughout Angela County, Stover County, and Beveronto County. Route numbers in Passitania tend to keep the same alignment as neighboring states (e.g., State Route 9 in Gnaerey is the same road as State Route 9 in Passitania).

State highways are maintained by the Passitania Department of Transportation and are created by a proposal in the Passitania House of Delegates. Primary and secondary state highway routing takes ecological concerns and economic need into concern, as well as minimizing impact to people living and natural features along the route, which is decided on by the state legislature.

Authority over tertiary routes (with the exception of PS-522 and PS-914) rests with the individual counties, and routing is decided on by a council of the affected counties instead of the state legislature.

City-specific roads such as the Madawan Colorways are at the discretion of the town themselves, and these must be approved by the state legislature to be constructed.

Symbols

Flag of Passitania

Flag

Passitania's flag has two blue triangles, representing the two important rivers in the state: the Molson River in the center and the (Unnamed River) in the west. The two white triangles of the flag represent the land split down the center by the Molson and Beveronto Rivers, with the flat plains in the west differing greatly from the hills and mountains in the east. Centered in the top of the flag is a red star, representing the state as part of the Federal States. The five yellow diamonds represent the five large population centers of Passitania unified into one state, those being Catterick, Spotswood, Madawan, Willowbrook, and Onawanda.
