Honpura

Honpura (本島, literally "Main Island") is the largest island of Surea. The nation's main island, it is southwest of Gisu across the Kijuki Strait (淸津海峽 Kijuki Kaiyū) and west of Natsupura across the Luguchi Inland Sea (龍淵内海 Luguchi Nekai).

The island is roughly 60,012.75km², 75% of the total area of Surea. Its area has been expanding with land reclamation and coastal uplift in the west, but global sea level rise have diminished these effects. Honpura has 2,014 km of coastline.

Mountainous and volcanic, Honpura has frequent earthquakes (the Great Kunji earthquake heavily damaged Konggei in April 1928); the highest peak is the active volcano Mount Tenmon at 3,893 m. There are many rivers, including the Kango River, Surea's longest. The climate is temperate, but has marked a slight difference between the northeastern and southwestern side. A mountain range runs along the length of Honpura from end to end. In addition to Mt. Tenmon, the Josanada Alps are features of Honpura.

It has a population of 92,593,996 in 2005, mostly concentrated in the available lowlands, notably in the Kunji Region and Kandong Region where 10% of the total population resides in the Greater Konggei Area, while 9% resides in the Greater Hondu Area. Most of the nation's industry is located along the belt running along Honpura's major cities, including Tengei, Hondu, Konggei, Dongdu, and Shidu, all part of Honzuido.

The economy along the northern and southwestern coast are largely fishing and agriculture; Yoyoki is noted as an important producer of rice. Irushi is a major fruit-growing area, and Shinkata is famous for its berrys.

The island is nominally divided into three regions and contains 12 urban prefectures, including the metropolitan cities (except Jokong, which is located in the island of Gisu). The regions are Kenshi (western), Kunji (central) and Kandong (eastern). Some smaller islands are included within these prefectures.

The urban prefectures and metropolitan cities are:


 * Kenshi region — Yoyoki-sen, Luzaki-sen, Bintamalu-sen, Dongdu-fu, Shidu-fu.
 * Kunji — Mizuihata-sen, Irushi-sen, Fuzusaki-sen, Takajima-sen, Chiwon-sen, Konggei-du.
 * Kandong — Senmori-sen, Shinkata-sen, Miyubi-sen, Suyu-sen, Tengei-fu, Hondu-du.

Honpura is connected to the islands of Gisu, and Natsupura by tunnels or bridges. Two new bridge and a tunnel systems have been built across the islands of the Inland Sea between Honpura and Natsupura while four new bridges and two tunnels connects Honpura with Gisu.
