Thumbnail Sketches: The territory ov this duchy extends to some
7k+ sq. mi. ov land incl. the Channel Islands. It is a
wild and rugged place in many parts, w/ great beauty in its ancient
forests, deep ravines, high hills, and rock outcroppings. It has been
compared in places to Helvetia. About 1/3 ov the state is wild, &&
therein are still found bear && wolf, stag, boar, && deer,
along w/ all manner ov small game. Elsewhere are many towns,
temples, && quaint villages ov great age.

&& intermixed to form a native population. This, in TURN, was conquered

Catches incl. oysters && lobsters,
in +addition+ to many sorts ov xcellent fish.
