Osteria, officially the Combined and Shared Lands of the Ystelo-Atruozan People, is a sovereign state comprising the southwestern part of Ystel, bordered by Gfiewistan to the north and sharing a maritime border with Translira to the west. Osteria has a population of around 2,4 million in its area of 1,2 million km², making it one of the least densely populated countries in Sahar. Its southern third or so falls within the tundra climate, making it the house some of the furthest equator-bound polar tundra on Sahar. The tundra regions and the islands are mostly inhabited by Atruozans, whereas the more northern areas of the mainland are majoritarily populated by their sister-group, the Ystelics.

Geography

Climate

Osteria is home to a total of four climate zones in accordance with the Köppen Climate Classification System. The two largest climate types by both area and population are the subarctic (Dfc) and mild tundra (ET) climates, with the dividing line running roughly along the 62nd parallel south, give or take a degree of latitude. A small amount of warm-summer humid continental (Dfb) climate can be found in the extreme north between the mid-50th and mid-49th parallels south, whereas higher up in the mountain range that runs through the middle of the mainland portion of the country lies dry-summer subarctic (Dsc) climate. The mildest weather can be found in the northern coastal areas, where the average coldest month highs sit around -3°C to -5°C, with the harshest winters being found in the inland areas within the tundra zones where average coldest month high temperatures rest around a freezing -31°C. The warmest summers are found in the Dfb zones in the extreme north, with the hottest month average highs sitting around 24°C; however overall average monthy highs above 22°-23°C are very rare within the country, in due part to its overall coastal nature.

Snow does persist on the ground in most regions for at least 5-6 months of the year, with a large portion of the country experiencing snow cover for 7 or more months and snowfall being possible in many regions up to 8 months of the year. The extreme south experiences potential snow cover of 10½-11 months, with the potential for snowfall existing year-round.
