Brightwater Gulf
Brightwater Gulf is a large body of water located on the Asper continent that is nearly completely surrounded by land, but is connected to The Lankanata Ocean by way of The Retrainnis Straits. The gulf borders two countries, The United States of Quentin and the Republic of Megatridimensional Order, and as well as containing numerous small islands, often with military occupations, the gulf is a large shipping and transportation hub, especially for other nations to reach important coastal cities like Port Jaron, Brightwater, Livjessville, Belljexk, Port Landavisislanders, and Near Harbor.
Geology
The gulf is home to various nature, including many diverse species of fish, as well as different kinds of marine wildlife in the southern part of the body of water.

Geography
The Brightwater Gulf is located in between the countries of the Republic of Megatridimensional Order and The United States of Quentin, as well as being connected to both The Sea of Stratigeo and The Lankanata Ocean, making it a great place for countries that border those bodies of water to trade with the world powers of the USQ and MTO. Inside the gulf are also numerous islands, many small as well as a few decently sized ones, some home to small micronations. While the USQ and MTO signed The Brightwater Agreement in 2012, setting boundaries for the gulf and restricting takeover and occupation of these islands, these nations are nonetheless cooperative either militarily or economically with the two superpowers.
Some major examples of these island micronations include The Coastal Islands of Atillaraon, Mounster Island, The Archipelago of Redniess, as well as two micronations on Midtri Island, The Federated Half of Quoaria and Midtrinnis.In many places along the coast the gulf digs in and creates small bays, a number of which have been used as an advantage by the two nations, as numerous large cities and ports lie in these bays. Some of these on the Quentinian side include Port Clinton, Port Jaron, Livjessville, Lieussendon, Port Landavisislanders, and Belljexk, as well as large trade hubs. Megatridimensional cities along the Brightwater Gulf include Near Harbor, Brightwater, Coast of Scarn, and Grungelock. The gulf's waters are amongst the calmest in the world, and the width of the gulf means that the variation in temperatures in the gulf are extreme, with the northern part getting snow as well as cold temperatures, and the southern part, nearer to the equator, is much warmer.
