Nizhne-Novgorod

The Principality of Nizhne-Novgorod is a province located upon the middle Volga River, within the Grand Duchy of Moscovy. The city of the same name is located where the Volga meets the Oka River, an important waterway that provides considerable access to a large area of the Russian plain. The principality is bounded on the north by Kostroma, on the east by Khlynov, Cheremissa and Chuvashia, on the south by the gnomish Kingdom of Harn, and on the east by Ryazan, Vladimir and Ivanovo. Much of the principality's central portion of the principality is well-developed farmland. The eastern third of the principality includes the comparably unsettled valleys of the Vetluga and Usta rivers.
