The whole island chain is claimed by The Finaroka Company. It is a small chain of volcanic island (which may still have the occasional eruption) - most of the islands have a central peak, with forested slopes, and a very fertile coastal area. The weather is warm to hot, and rains from the mountain run down to give an almost continuous growing season around the coasts. , some plants can be harvested year round, many others have two growing seasons per year. However, it is patchy, and the fertile coastal areas interspersed with barren stretches, often made of volcanic rock. While many of those have 'bad land' plants growing on them, they provide a cheap source of building material - although there are still the normal 'bad land' denizens and hazards to deal with.

The Governor has her capital, Finaroka Town, on the one cleared island, which also boasts several small agricultural villages. None of the other islands have been cleared properly, and are unoccupied.

One of the largest islands in the chain, also known as Finaroka Island, is the only island that has been cleared. Like most other islands in the chain, it has a large, steep sided, mountain (an extinct Volcano)]] at its heart, rocky and almost bare at the peak, with forests growing across the lower slopes. The coastal margin is wide and fertile, although cut by dessert like, lava flows, where nothing will grow, and large gullies, that occasionally fill with rainwater cascading down the mountainside after a storm. The weather can be seen as unusual|(it is just weather patterns - not a warning from the, presumed extinct, volcano)++, The mountain peak is often covered in snow, and it can be freezing on the mountain, but bright sunshine on the coast.
