Geography Information of The World.
The world of FFVIII: DoD is covered in large part with water, having three large continents and several islands of varying sizes. The world has two main superpowers: Galbadia, a military dicatorship, and Esthar, a scientifically advance nation. There are also many other countries-those mentioned are Balamb, Dollet and Trabia. Timber and Windhill were once independent states, but were annexed by Galbadia prior to the start of the game. It can be assumed that other countries exist-Centra, once home to the Centran Empire (which was destroyed by the Lunar Cry), aside from the Centra ruins and Edea's house, there is a influx of nomads, engineers, and adventurerseekers in Centra, both looking for lost artifacts and attempting to repopulate what was once a massive center of civilization.
Climate
The climates reflect that of some of Earth's primary western countries (Europe, America, Africa). In the north is a snow covered, northen artic climate in Trabia that gradually turns into barren lands and plains further south in Esthar which were altered by Esthar's experiaments. In Galbadia and Balamb, as solitary lands girted by ocean, the landscapes are primarily filled with mountain ranges, forests and green fields. Galbadia also possesses a desert known as the Dingo Desert. Further south in the country of Centra the lands are barren due to the events that lead to the Centra Crater although there are tentative fields in the southern-most island. The world's largest desert, Kashkabald Desert, is also located on this land.
Flora/Fauna
The world of FFVIII: DoD consists of two types of Fauna; native and foreign. Most common animals such as Chocobo, cats and dogs are considered native fauna because of their origins originating on planet while some other species (namely the monsters) are foreign for their origins originate from the moon having been brought to the planet due to the Lunar Cry. All plant species on this world resemble that of the real-world Earth with the exception of plant-like monsters such as the Ochu and Malboro.
