Axolston is a state in the western area of the United States of the East. Located very close to the shoreline towards the north and east, but not touching it, it is said to be the most tragically landlocked state in the Eastern States. The state was founded by Hightech_TR on the 14th of August 2021 with its state capital of Sungei Gurun.

History

Axolston is one of the later states to join the United States of the East. As such, all coastal states were already occupied, relegating Axolston to a landlocked area west of New England.

Due to its proximity to the coast, the state of Conroy has agreed to allow free trade for Axolston to occur through its port.


Geography

Axolston is a desert state, located entirely in a desert only broken up by rivers and lakes. Many desert states border it, with the exception of the savannah landscape of New England and Saint Lazare.

Axolston borders a total of 7 different states, namely Conroy, New England, Elizabeth, Saint Lazare, San Westen, Qahil, Navassa and an unclaimed state. The western tip of Axolston borders four of these states at a four-way point.

Climate

Axolston's desert geography means hot temperatures by day, and cooling temperatures by night. Trees are planted plentifully to keep people cool under the hot desert sun. Summer temperatures are usually extremely hot, while winters are somewhat mild.

Precipitation appears to be highest around the southern areas of Axolston, where it is nearest to the sea. Moderate rain is also seen up to the northeast, where there is also proximity to the sea. The largely flat landscape of Axolston means little rain reaches the northwest and middle areas.
