La Plata
The Plata region of Najálisco occupies the four southernmost states in the nation, the states of Huagáje (HG), Costa Verde (CV), Villa (VL), and the Tlalhuacpan Territory (TL).

Political Geography
The Plata regions most populous cities are Buenasuerte, Ciudad de Villa, Ciudad de Tlalhuacpan, and Monte Huagáje and the regions capitals are Monte Huagáje (HG), Atoyoli (CV), Ciudad de Villa (VL), and Ciudad de Tlalhuacpan (TL).

Natural Geography
Taking its name from the arid plateau occupying the middle-south of the Anovan continent, the Plata region, is split between the high and dryer regions of the La Plata plateau, with flat deserts cut by snow-capped mountains and green valleys as they descend down into the verdant coast, full of marshland, jungles, and rich farmland. Located on the southern side of the Madre Mountains from the Los Valles region, the highlands can be divided into the Tlahuacpan, Huagáje, and Huaicatl valleys. Each valley contains a different concoction of wildlife and soil; the alpine and lush Huagáje which fluctuates from tropical wetland at the river's edge to pine forest at the tops of hills and mountains, the deserts and savannas of the Tlahuacpan with it's huge silver and Ichor deposits, and the thick, mesquite woods, vibrant farmland, and humid jungles of the descending, canyonlike, Huaicatl valley that stretches along the river of the same name down to the Aethiopic coast. The coast itself is composed of swamps and bayous along most of the shoreline ascending into a verdant, coastal plain until eventually reaching jungled slopes of the mountains and hills.

Traditions and Practices
La Plata region of Najálisco is divided between a highly conservative pentarchic criollo upper-class, an industrial primarily-immigrant and medio middle class, and a rural primero lower class. La Plata, like the Los Valles region, is considered part of the Najáliscan heartland and so many public holidays and practices follow the social norms of the majority culture; including patriarchal household and worship of the Pentarchy. However, with the large portion of primero and immigrant peoples within the region, it's not strange to find areas within the cities and deep in the country where those traditions are abandoned for a myriad of local beliefs.

Economy

As the name suggests, the Plata regions economy hinges on the rich mining industry that exists primarily in the state of Huagáje and the Tlalhuacpan Territory. Originally, this industry was primarily focused around the silver deposits in the plateau; however, this shifted to the large ichor fields discovered in Tlalhuacpan and off the shore of Costa Verde. Those regions that don't directly produce raw minerals or Ichor, are often focused on the management or manufacturing of those products. Villa's economy, for instance, is centered around the banks, corporate offices, and fine, luxury, workshops of Ciudad de Villa, this city also is a key node in the shipping pipeline between the mines, Santa Corazón, and the Aethiopic Ocean.

In addition to the mining industry, a large agricultural industry, focusing on plantation crops like cotton and sugar cane, along with peppers, is centered in Costa Verde with a smaller enclave of the industry in Huagáje.

Natural Geography
Named for the large series of alpine valleys stretched between the Madres to the south and the Padres to the north, the Los Valles region is shielded both from the heat of the arid La Plata and the coastal storms of the tropical Abdoment created a temperate and pleasant climate. Split between the valleys of Najálisco, Márquez, and the Upper and Lower Rio Mayor de los Valles, the region is composed of a series of these temperate, highly-urbanized, valleys.
