Brief profile:
Flag of Isle St Jean:
Brief profile:
Capital City: Pierrefeu
Region: Duchy of Gascony
Area: 12,600 Square Miles
Population: 169,245 Approx
Status: Overseas Territory of the Kingdom of Bosworth
Head of State: King Wentworth I
Head of Ducal Government: Duke Jeremy of Gascony
Geography: Isle St Jean is generally a reasonably low lying island with its highest point, Mont St Jean just outside of Pierrefeu, rising to around 784ft above sea level. However the most noticeable changes in elevation occur at the coast where sea cliffs measure up to 140ft above sea level giving the island a spectacular appearance from the ocean and distant mainland. Much of the once forested landscape has now been turned over to farming and so the rolling hills of Isle St Jean often support crops such as wheat and barley, however in some areas the once vast Forest of St Michael survives still to provide islanders and visitors alike with a stunning wooded landscape. Residents on the island must endure harsh winters and scorching summers in addition to constant high wind speeds all of which make life of Isle St Jean tricky, however these conditions have proved to be ideal for many species of native plants and animals. The River Fraternité is Isle St Jeans main natural waterway with its delta located slightly north-west of Aspremont while its source can be found near Silignac.
