Burwood is the capital city-state of the Federal Territories, being located in a southeastern region of the country. It was built on top of the ruins of a previous city-state that fell around the time magic first disappeared. It's said that those ruins were built on top of an even earlier city-state, but archaeologists are still researching them. It consists of the capital city Tripolis, several small suburban towns, a quarry, a large forest, and even a small artificial desert within the forest as a result of magic that went wrong a millennium ago. Though it was originally founded by elves and humans, it's now much more diverse. Tripolis was built around the Fait River, a large river that feeds into the ocean. Its main draws are its government buildings and several colleges, with students from other city-states coming to Tripolis just to get their degrees.

The climate is roughly comparable to Georgia.
