Autoania is one of many countries that reside on Dwaia. It is quite a small country but a lot of shit goes down within it, a lot of dumb shit. The country is divided up into counties which were choosen based on how chaotic their respective environmental, geological and quantum characteristics are which get progressively worse as you move closer to the epicenter. Eventually 4 were distinguished and named and are ordered from the outermost in; they are Exoshire, Anarchoshire, The Thunderdome and The Nullands.
Exoshire
Main article: Exoshire
As the outermost county away from the epicenter, Exoshire experiences some of the tamest conditions the country has to offer which is really convenient for you know, life, civilisation and such. Conditions do degrade as you travel further in but don't become dangerous until you enter Anarchoshire. The atmosphere of Exoshire has a light green tint but is still very clear.
Civilisation
Pretty much all of Autoania's population and civilisation can be located within Exoshire where there are many towns that all stay at their own distances away from the epicenter. This is because most of Autoania's economy is based on the memetic energy siphoned off from the approaching memestorms. Some towns stay well away but don't really grow that much while others are more willing to risk living in the harsher conditions for the greater economic opportunities. Towns have been damaged and abandoned while pursuing this before.
Anarchoshire
Main article: Anarchoshire
Anarchoshire is a heavily polluted wasteland that makes up most of the country. The surrounding atmosphere is thick and foggy with a dark green tint which dampens visibility moderately. Weather in Anarchoshire is actually very calm with memestorms being the only variable that cause any disturbances. What makes Anarchoshire dangerous however are the various pollutants scattered across the county; these can range from the less harmful solid pieces of material waste such as plastic bottles or scrap metal to barrels full of corrosive, explosive or even radioactive chemicals. The chemicals specifically pose a major hazard since they can easily oxidise into the air.
Mt. Lakupiippu
Main article: Mount Lakupiipu
Mt. Lakupiippu is a volcano that is situated within Anarchoshire. It is unique in that it only erupts in reaction to the memetic phenomenon within the county as opposed to the expected geological properties of Autoania. It also does not produce the contents of a normal volcano either, instead manifesting as various types of waste produce; runny basalt lava comes in the form of sewage, hard rocky rholite lava could be one or a combination of fat burgs, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, other materialistic waste, food waste, medical waste etc and pyroclastic flows are instead composed of nauseous chemicals which are associated with waste produce as well as microscopic shavings of waste material. The volcano is thought to be major contributor to the county's pollution if not the source of it.
Mt. Lakupiippu got its name from Finnish Xzyckon after manifesting within the vicinity of the volcano and screaming its name.
The Thunderdome
Main article: Thunderdome
The Thunderdome is a dense hurricane like cloud system that encompasses the epicenter of Autoania. From the outside it looks like a solid wall of meteorological menstruation that churns and rotates in place. Basically, I'm monkey it's a little slice of Jupiter. About 90% of Autoania's weather is contained within this swirling mass.
Memestorms
Occasionally a thunderstorm system will be ejected from this wall due to centrifugal forces and are set on a trajectory to the outer counties with the momentum they have gained. These thunderstorm systems are then subjugated to the memetic properties of Anarchoshire, becoming what is known as a 'Memestorm' in the process. Memestorms can reach even the outermost towns within Autoania before they disperse but by that point are too weak to deal and significant damage, becoming just as dangerous as a normal thunderstorm. In Anarchoshire however they have the potential to become a major hazard depending on their memetic manifestations; they have been known to emit audio up to 140dB and rain various objects sometimes as large as entire vehicles. These effects are heavily themed on whatever "meme" has infiltrated said thunderstorm.
The Nullands
Main article: Nullands
The Nullands is a place so chaotic that even reality itself breaks down. The landscape is twisted and corrupt; terrain generation frequently switches between the relatively normal to fractal and non-euclidean constantly, there are sharp inconsistencies between terrain differencies resulting in perfect straight cliffs where the terrain fails to fit seamlessly and pieces of land will sometimes generate in mid air while others will not load at all either resulting in a perfectly flat area or a void. Time in the Nullands is significantly slower, theorised to be caused by the reigons of fractal terrain taking too much resources to render. This is also thought to be the cause for the massive amount of lag within the county which will tear any solid objects apart. This is because lag effects objects locally and so different reigons of an object are subjugated to different degrees of lag. Specifically, if a cube is ejected inwards via the Thunderdome it will likely be destroyed by it's own momentum as certain reigons of it are temporarily frozen.
Life
Within Exoshire
Life is pretty standard within Exoshire as the county can easily support complex biological life in relative comfort. Conditions are at their worst around the innermost edge but poses no threat to survivability. This is where 99% of Autoania's population live in the many towns that inhabit the county.
Within Anarchoshire
Life can and does survive here but no kind of permanent civilisation can be supported, though some have theorised or have suggested the use of biodomes or to build underground, but we're not Acrityrdians however.
What does thrive within Anarchoshire are the various sentient vehicles that roam the landscape. There are also some individual entities such as Handa Biggs that for unknown reasons are completely unaffected by the effects of Anarchoshire's environment which would otherwise be devastating.
Within the Thunderdome
It is currently unknown whether life can survive within the Thunderdome but evidence seems to suggest so, for extremophiles and other micro-organisms at least.
Within the Nullands
Life is completely impossible within the Nullands since the county is unstable on a quantum level, the resulting lag spikes on their own tear objects apart with no apparent force applied to them.
