Geography of Carrico

The Communist Proletarian Union of Carrico exists on the "Grand Island of Carrico", the largest island in the "Greater Carrico Island Chain". The small island chain sits isolated out in the Pacific Ocean with its closest neighbors being Wake Island of Micronesia, and the Midway Atoll of the Hawaiian Islands. The island chain is located at the cross point far north of New Zealand, and west of Hawaii. The Grand Island of Carrico is slightly smaller than the island of Sumatra, making the Grand Island of Carrico one of the largest islands on Earth.

The nation of Carrico is full of diverse ecosystems. Due to Carrico's location of being far out into the Pacific Ocean, the animals and ecosystems on the island have developed uniquely independent of the rest of the world. There are two dormant volcanoes, they are located in Mycal. The most fertile land for agriculture exists within Atillia and Eastern Carrico. There is a very limited amount of drilling permitted each year. This drilling is largely done for uranium. There is a very minor amount of oil drilling in Carrico each year. Carrico largely imports gas from Iran and Russia. The nation’s energy supply is largely sustained through nuclear energy, with some renewable sources (such as wind farms) also being utilized. Chiraq, Atillia, and Eastern Carrico sit atop the most natural resources. The area of modern Visa used to have the most untapped natural resources until the colonial era saw this area's natural resources become overexploited by colonizers. The area is the home to the majority of ecological restoration projects within Carrico.

There are a total of six regional "Communist Republics", which make up the Communist Proletarian Union of Carrico. Along with the six regional Communist Republics, the nation also has one 'Special Economic Zone'. Due to official government policy, the country's population is divided relatively evenly between Communist Republics. Overpopulated megacities are not a serious problem for Carrico, although some significantly large population centers do naturally still exist.

Smaller Sister Islands in the Greater Carrico Island Chain:

Isle de Morte, located off the west coast of Visa, is an urbanized island used as a major ship docking port- the second largest port after Port Visa. This island is the home to several resorts onlooking the ocean. The island has been given the nickname "Vacation Island". The island's resorts cater to vacationing communist workers and their families. Many stay in the resorts free of charge due to worker compensation packages from the state. The island does generate some revenue for the state as a tourist destination for foreign visitors also.

Chiagascar, located northwest of Carrico, Chigascar is a humid-subtropical island and is the second largest island in the Greater Carrico Island Chain. There is one active volcano on the island. The island remains relatively underdeveloped for purposes of biodiversity conservation, and preservation of the indigenous peoples way of life. Both of which remain top priorities of the Communist Party of Carrico. This island falls under the jurisdiction of the Communist Republic of Chiraq.

Mermia Island, located just off the northeast coast of Visa, Mermia Island is apart of the New Carrico Economic Zone. The island was formerly home to a large New Carrico military presence, which polluted the local environment in comparison to the rest of the Great Carrico Island Chain. The government now operates one of the nation's largest prisons on the island, dubbed "Carrico's Alcatraz".
