Meles Ailurus Treaty of 2024 Territory Changes
After House Meles reverted to a minor house in March, the Woodlanders met for friendly discussions. House Meles no longer had the population base to support such a massive territory. House Ailurus had a booming population and needed more space. We made land trades that were equitable to both House Ailurus and ourselves, despite Meles giving up quite a bit of area. We retained Great Lakes access, giving us shipping options in the Pacific and Atlantic.Territorial Trade Benefits
In giving up our southern coast, we gained a profitable one in the West. We also have the majority of the Woodlander Sovereign Corridor trade and transportation area through the Rocky Mountains. It positions Meles to be the protectors of the corridor in times of war against the Zombie Undead Horde.Pre March 2024
Before the treaty, the Meles Protectorate covered everything east of the Rocky Mountains to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The North Border was the 49th Parallel and the area stretched south all the way into Mexico.Ecosystem
A vast array of ecosystems are represented in the Meles Protectorate. Major types include prairies and arid grasslands, marine waters, coastal rainforests, deciduous and coniferous forests, wetlands, and badlands.
Climate
In the Pacific Northwest, the climate is more temperate with milder summers and winters. Whereas, in the North Central areas summers can be hot and winters harsh. Badger burrows are excellent at fending off issues with any of the weather extremes.
