Avalonia is a landmass comprised of North an South Avalonia and encompasses most of the land area in the western hemisphere of Anterra. It has a total land area of 23,272,096 kilometres squared, making it the largest continent in Anterra with 32% of Anterra's landmass being located within Avalonia. Individually North Avalonia is the bigger landmass at 12,069,688 km² and South Avalonia the smaller one at 11,202,408 km².

Geographically Avalonia consists of several large mountain chains like the West-Avalonian Wall running from Osorra all the way to Tavaluda, The Brigantic mountain range, the Ophelion and Baekdu Mountains on the border between Zahava, SiWallqanqa and Kaya. The continent alse features various plains and basins like the Azure-lake basin in Tavaluda and Badzevalari, the Kaesami desert and plateu in Tilenno, Arroyo-Abeille and surrounding nations, the Floresta de Deus basin in Albaterra, Baileneu Ma and Santa Magdalena and the Paracas Desert in Siwallqanqa and the other Paracas Coast nations. The largest rivers in Avalonia are the Azure, Mesèra and Blue Carrot. The largest islands of Avalonia are the main Brigantica Island near the Adeline Sea, Ostrovia in the Boreal Ocean, Tavaluda Island in the Sea of Tavaluda and Chezzetcook and Iere in the Iapetus Ocean, Theyka at the Ingonian Sea and Avalonia also spans most climate regions, from frigid tundras in the north to deserts in the central areas and tropical rainforest in the middle.

Administratively Avalonia is divided up into 29 Sovereign states of which Arroyo-Abeille is the overall biggest area wise and Osorra population wise in North Avalonia. Zahava is the biggest area wise in South Avalonia and Kaya overall population wise. In addition to sovereign states, several other nations have a presence in Avalonia in the form of dependent territories. Tiperyn, Agrana y Griegro and Jungastia and Mero-Curgovina still own territories in Avalonia. Several regional organisations and alliances exist in Avalonia, of which the biggest one is ECOSEAS. The largest cities on the continent are Arcanium in Zahava, Sudo in Koryeo the West-Gantian Megalopolis in Tilenno, Zalivkov in Osorra and the Buel metro area in Iere.

South Avalonia was the original habitat of human species before they migrated out to other continents. Due to this, Avalonia has a long and rich history often starting before other continents. There were 3 major distinct ancient civilizations, the Masali river civilization in Zahava, the Perto-Mesèra civilization in Tilenno and the Paracas civilization in SiWallqanqa. Later on the regions of Zahava, Perela and Kaya would be home to great kingdoms and empires who conquered large portions of land, but also existed in a cyclical process of collapsing and unifying. Change happened when the Akitei people crossed the Tethys Ocean around 700 CE, creating a trade route between Northwest Avalonia and East Kesh. This brought in a whole new slew of technologies, innovations, crops and ideas to the Avalonian continent, giving whoever had access to the Keshi trade a major advantage over their opponents. In the 14th century colonizers from Artemia arrived in Avalonia. They managed to colonise large regions of the continent but were unable to defeat the established civilised areas.

Modern history of Avalonia was characterised by the ongoing struggle between native populations and colonisers and the difficult decolonisation process. Avalonia however chose to stay outside many major international conflicts fought on the other continents like the Grand Campaigns and Great Kesh War play a more passive supporting role than an offensive role. The 1980's were in particular a very tumultuous period in Avalonian history with the advent of the Osorra-Tilenno War in which nuclear weapons were used and the revolution of Arbenz and the Lunar Insurgency in Theyka.
