| History: |
A former state of the United States of America, the Commonwealth of New Kentucky rebuilt itself up from the ashes into an independent nation following the Great Nuclear Holocaust of 2022. Known as "The Commonwealth" to its population, it some times still referred to as the "Bluegrass State", a nickname based on the bluegrass found in many of its pastures due to the fertile soil. One of the major regions in New Kentucky is the Bluegrass Region in central part of the Commonwealth, which houses two of its major cities, Louisville and Lexington. It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources, including the world's longest cave system, Mammoth Cave National Park, the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in North America, and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River. New Kentucky is also home to the highest per capita number of deer and turkey in North America, and the largest free-ranging elk herd east of the Mississippi River.
George Clooney, former Hollywood actor and native to the Commonwealth, assumed throne as Emperor by popular acclaim upon the establishment of New Kentucky and has ruled the nation since.
New Kentucky is a past member of UPN, where it participated in the TAC-TC WAR (The War of Purple Aggression otherwise known as the War of Debatable Aggression) and the Marionette War (also known as the Hypocrisy War). New Kentucky now resides with the North American Confederacy.
On March 22, 1994 (by Orbis dating) New Kentucky defeated the dread pirate nation Blackbeard and sent it packing to Beige. |

| Terrain: |
Kentucky is situated in the Upland South. A significant portion of eastern New Kentucky is part of Appalachia.
Kentucky's northern border is formed by the Ohio River and its western border by the Mississippi River. The official Commonwealth borders are based on the courses of the rivers as they existed when Kentucky became a state in the U.S. in 1792. In several places, the rivers have changed courses away from the original borders. For instance, northbound travelers on US 41 from Henderson, after crossing the Ohio River, will be in New Kentucky for about two miles. Ellis Park, a thoroughbred racetrack, is located in this small piece of Kentucky.
Kentucky can be divided into five primary regions: the Cumberland Plateau in the east, the north-central Bluegrass region, the south-central and western Pennyroyal Plateau (also known as the Pennyrile or Mississippi Plateau), the Western Coal Fields and the far-west Jackson Purchase.
The Bluegrass region is commonly divided into two regions, the Inner Bluegrass—the encircling 90 miles (145 km) around Lexington—and the Outer Bluegrass—the region that contains most of the northern portion of the state, above the Knobs. Much of the outer Bluegrass is in the Eden Shale Hills area, made up of short, steep, and very narrow hills.
The Jackson Purchase and western Pennyrile are home to several bald cypress/tupelo swamps. |
