==Geography== | |||
Benzar's crust is divided into 18 continental plates, each home to one or more small land masses. A continent's islands form one single "country" in [[Terran]] terms, however, the seas also fall within political boundaries. As it would be easy to dispute naval borders in the planet's single, vast ocean, the Benzites have nominally divided their plante's waters into 18 seas. The borders of each sea follow the lines of the continental plate, and the sea is named for the continent over which it lies. | |||
The Benzite ocean is remarkable in that it is largely freshwater. Inescapably, in some parts of the world, elements that are present in the atmosphere do appear in trace quantities in the sea, but nevertheless the sea remains largely pure. | |||

===Geostructures=== | |||
There are 16 main geostructures on the planet's surface; each lies on a different continent. In off-world terms, a geostructure could be described as a vast city, both subterranean and above ground, that is hewn from the crystalline deposits that occur throughout the planet. However, in Benzite terms, a [[MA:geostructure|geostructure]] is considered to be much more than just a construction, and conceptually includes the entire continent on which the city is located, including the sea. | |||
Of these crystalline [[MA:geostructure|geostructures]], the city of Bepsot, located on the continent of Belross, is one of the most elaborate and beautiful. Built for 18 miles along the Belross river, the city is home to 6 million inhabitants. Only the city of Methot is larger. Built beneath the surface of the Mantoss sea, it is inhabited by close to 6.5 million Benzites, and it too is regarded as a work of beauty that rivals even the most beautiful of the underwater settlements on [[MA:Bolarus IX|Bolarus IX]]. | |||

===Galmut Chi Panzor=== | |||
The continent of Chadock has no geostructure of its own. It is a mountainous land mass, of a high enough altitude to make day to day life unpleasant for a Benzite. However, it is not unpopulated. There are a selection of shanty towns and mining operations in the area, populated by Benzite outcasts who have shamed their [[MA:geostructure|geostructures]], and criminals who have broken the laws of Benzite society. While Benzites are not amphibious, they are most comfortable living near water, and the salt-rich volcanic lake at '''Galmut Chi Panzor''', which translates as "The Lake of Great Regret", serves as no subsitute for the fresh water of the Benzite ocean. | |||
