 Nearly the entire western edge of the state is hedged by the towering Wilder Mountains, which run in a southwesterly diagonal from the outskirts of above Firelick Lake and down until the inner point of Womack Channel where the Wilder River comes rushing down the tallest peaks. The mountains contain some of the toughest and most impassable terrain in the country, with no public roads crossing the mountain at any location. It is a tourist attraction but only the most brave and hardy climbers attempt to traverse its jagged slopes. A little mountain town called Schuemroth is a popular tourist vacation area, home to some of the better skiing in Torland. The mountains also provide copious amounts of coal, ore and minerals which drive the backbone of the economy.
-The wide natural valley running in parallel to the Wilder Mountains is fertile and home to the deep Cauldron River, originating in the Wilders above Vensessor and running southward to its mouth in Womack Bay. The Cauldron Valley and River, so-named for its many furnaces and mills dotting the river's edge, is a major shipping lane both for New Dosa and the other parts of Torland. New Dosa's largest city, Dosa City, situated at the mouth of the Cauldron is a central hub for domestic and international shipping thanks to its centralized location and water and rail accessibility. North of Dosa City up the Cauldron River is New Dosa's third-largest city and state capitol, Kalper. Unlike most of the state, Kalper was built with an eye toward American Colonial architecture and is considered one of the prettiest and most quaint cities in the country. The state's second-largest city, Prestonburg, which is a primary center for many of Torland's mineral processing, lies just south of Vensessor on the banks of a large curve in the Cauldron River against a foothill of the Wilders.

 Along the eastern edge of the state, the line of lakes and rivers form a natural geographical barrier, from the Firelick River down to the Honach River in the upper portions of Ghost Lake. The Honach Hills hem the southeastern corner of the state and the border follows a diagonal line to Womack Bay and the small coastal border town of Pennette. Most of the northeastern corner of the state is farmland, devoted to all kinds of crops, mainly corn and wheat.
 New Dosa works in tandem with the independent government district of Vensessor, the capitol of Torland, and strives to keep harmony of jurisdiction with the Capitol District. Vensessor is also the geographic center of Torland which among the main reasons for the site being chosen for national government. Vensessor uses New Dosa as its state address but runs their own mail, road and transport services.
