======Heartland====== Heartland is a [[territories_of_ivykeep|territory of Ivykeep]]. It is located on a terraced slope, and is known for its livestock farms, the [[Arboretum|Arboretum]], and [[mk_corral|M.K. Corral]]. ===Geography=== Heartland is a mid-elevation region, formed of a number of large west-facing terraces. The terraces are mostly manmade, formed of dirt and loose stone several hundred years ago to create flatter pastureland. The territory is bordered by [[verdantia|Verdantia]] on the West and [[sunshine_pastures_exclusion_zone|SPEZ]] on the North, and is fully landlocked. ===Economy=== Heartland is one of [[kingdom_of_ivykeep|Ivykeep's]] two main agricultural territories, alongside [[Upper Grange|Upper Grange]]. Due to the dry stony soil, the terraces are used mainly for animal husbandry rather than growing crops. Almost all edible animal products in Ivykeep are exported from Heartland. Heartland was also the home of M.K. Corral, and its closure led to record unemployment rates in the territory. ===Religion=== Heartland is home to a large [[Chordist|Chordist]] population, and is where the religion was founded.
