Physical Geography
Ainslie is a country on the southern half of the peninsula which marks the most easterly points of Gael. The northernmost points of the nation are on the Morrie Coast most specifically on the peninsula immediately east of Wellington. The central and eastern sections of Ainslie are covered by the broad Unife Plateau, which is generally flat but broken up by ranges and mountains in the central, the sections along the border with Verdon and the southeast. There is little surface water on the plateau, but in most sections there is a significant aqueduct which provides local citizens with the water they require. However, there are some rivers such as the Weslan, Arcadia and the Staffe.
The Border Ranges, including the Wesland Ranges in the southeast, seperate Ainslie from its northern neighbours. The tablelands gradually decrease until it reaches the well-known Ahnslen hinterlands, where there is relatively flat ground with some hills. The tablelands have three distinctive ranges, known as the Welling Range, Whitridge and Lehaut.
Geology
Ainslie has one of the most diverse landscapes in the continental Isles. Its highest peak is Mount Apollo which is at 2,700 metres, which is relatively high when comparing it to other mountains across the Isles.
Ainslie is situated in the middle of the tectonic plate, and therefore has no active volcanism. There is no major earthquakes and there is a minimal amount of extreme ones. The terrain is mostly moderate-high plateau in the centre and it dominates the landscpae, there is also mountains along the border, and a temperate forest in the north. There are no permanent ice or snow regions within the nation’s borders.
Geographical Subdivisions
The Ahnslen continental landmass consists of four major landform divisions. They are the following
Political Geography
Ainslie consists of six electorates (Wesland, Burnett, Manning, Dallama, Norlands and Lower Verd). The two major electorates are Wesland and Dallama. Most of the electorates have a similar area, with the exception of Burnett and Manning.
Climate
The major climate of Ainslie is temperate, with some colder and warmer climates. Most of Ainslie is fertile, although increased temperatures and desertification is becoming a growing threat to agriculture in Lower Verd. The northern part of Ainslie is a temperate/cool forest, and the southern coastline is warm.
Rain is significantly dependent on elevation and seasons, with droughts rare and moderate in their intensity. Occasionally, the more central districts of Ainslie will experience dust/sand storms. Rising levels of desertification is becoming a serious issue.
Natural Hazards
Severe thunderstorms, frequent bushfires, infrequent droughts and flooding (most notably around Wagstaffe) are all natural hazards which have been experienced in Ainslie and are expected to continue.
Environment
Desertification, urbanisation, industrial development and climate change are the major four issues in Ainslie. The clearing of land for towns and urban development previously threatened and/or destroyed the natural habitats of many animals, although increasing natural elements of urban development and natural adaption is beginning to reverse this trend.

Geographical Subdivisions
The Ahnslen continental landmass consists of four major landform divisions. They are the following
- The central plateau - including the tablelands across the centre of the nation and which decline when nearing the border.
- The Border Ranges - Amongst the highest points in Ainslie, and are almost exclusively confined to border regions, with the exception of the Wesland Ranges
- Northern forest - Including the Morrie Coast and most of the electorate of Norlands.
- South Lowlands and Coast - the temperate coastline, but it also includes a small desert region in the nation.
