Land
If you separate the U.S. into quarters, this would be the southeast. Think of a gigantic boot laying on its side, with the toe up.
Cities: San Francisco-like, tall and narrow dwellings, but very colorful hodgepodge of styles with crooked streets.

Climate
Around the coastline, think San Diego, California weather. The farther east you are, the more humid it gets until you reach the swamp (a huge stretch of muck that would cover an area roughly the size of the Carolina's). It never snows except in the highest mountains near the Terisian border.

People
Sogo, the city-state, has every nationality.  Elsewhere, they are mostly Asian/Oriental.  

History
During the reign of the Five creators, Vael chose this section of land and over time, managed to terrorize the country.  He was a brutal dictator.  The fact he was insane didn't help.  He created a city he named Vatra which was eventually targeted by Soline.
