Climate & Geography
The climate is hot during the summer and mild during the winter which makes for an ideal place for growing crops. The soil is rich and fertile due to lots of rivers and lakes, and a steady amount of annual rainfall. Access to the ocean is available along all five of the colonies, with some allowing for more travel further inland thanks to deeper and wider rivers. Further inland there is a mountain range called the Appalachian Mountains that runs along all of these colonies. The hot summers can however lead diseases to be spread, like malaria and yellow fever.
