The independent state of Caledon is the first and most known private continent. However, Caledon is in direct contact with sims that belong to other micronations (the largest is Winterfel). Since the largest micronations are Caledon and Winterfel, the best name for the continent is Caledon-Winterfel.
Geography
Like the majority of private continents, Caledon - Winterfel is composed of a big number of islands. These islands don't form a tropical beach paradise. In fact, the beaches are almost absent. Water enters the land to form rivers and internal seas. The islands are sometimes flat and sometimes they host mountains and hills. Some parts are covered wth forests, some parts with grass and some parts host buildings of many types, from mysterious buildings of Winterfel to large cities of Caledon.
Vegetation is what makes this continent unique. The dark lush forests are in a big contrast with the classic tropical paradise private continents. These forests are full of unknown secrets and a great place for an adventure. Also, a traveler might discover that every region has a different sky texture. Luminosity, day cycle and cloud/haze structure are not the same for all regions. Different sky textures can be found in Sansara, in Bay City channel island and sometimes in microcontinents, but no place has so many changes like Caledon - Winterfel.
Altitude researches showed that this continent has similar altitude changes with old parts of Sansara. This means that the ground features are highly fragmented,without being too high or too massive.
Accesibility
The continent is newcomer friendly. Ban lines and entity orbs are rare (they were not detected in our research). Transportation is very easy. Caledon has a large railway with many branches and also a lot of local roads. Both continents have water access ways, protected waterways. There are many protected areas, from gardens to dark forests and mystic buildings in Winterfel. It is easy to travel by foot accross parcels. Flying is restricted in some places.
Statistics
Size in sims: 60 (15/7)
Size in km: 3.93 square km (3.48/1.79)
Sims complete flooded: 1
Coast sims (direct access to water): 59
Sims without water: 0
Sims with roads: minimum 17
Sims with railways: 21
Population density: med-high
Coordinates
The coordinates are given in sims, just like they are given by the Gridsurvey [1] for each sim. The numbers are for each subdivision: longitude (min) - longitude (max) / latitude (min) - latitude (max).
Continental:904-910/1200-1214
Caledon:904-909/1200-1208
Winterfel:906-910/1209-1214
Border (Dragon) sims:906-907/1208-1208
Caledon
The independent state of Caledon is powered up by the steampunk technology of the 1920's. The state developed fast and now owns a large group of sims. The landscapes remind of the British rural and urban places of the Victorian era. The continent has a high accesibility, with a large railway system, roads and waterways. There are many points of interest, presented on Caledon official site and in other places:
[2] - Independent State Of Caledon (Second Life Wikia)
[3] - Caledon Wiki
Some places that deserve to be visited are the Caledon sky city, Caledon Library (Oxbridge) - an excellent place for newcomers, Caledon (sim - capital city), Caledon Victorian City, Caledon Port or Caledon Cavorite Mine.
Winterfel
Winterfel is an estate and also a micronation, North to Caledon. Today, it has reduced its surface. The grid survey [4] shows that many sims worn the name winterfel. The land is composed of many large forest islands.
