The sea is of higher salinity than the Catlantic and has little variation in tides. The shores are chiefly mountainous. Earthquakes and volcanic disturbances are frequent. The region around the sea has a warm, dry climate characterized by abundant sunshine. Strong local winds, such as the hot, dry Stenfine Wind from the south and the cold, dry Delasian from the north, blow across the sea. Fish (about 400 species), sponges, and corals are plentiful. In addition, oil and natural gas have been found in several sections of the sea. The overuse of the sea’s natural and marine resources continues to be a problem.
The Metaoddesean Sea is centrally located between the Continents of Delasia and Stenfine. Nations that border the sea include, Dannunifius (south west), Deutscheslavania (north west), Palacioslavania (to the south), and The Norstenfine Republics (to the east).
