The Entris Federation sat in the center of the northern continent, bordered to the north by the Elbard Theocracy, the Kingdom of Velka to the west, the Grandort Empire to the south, and the Dukedom of Uldia to the east.

It spanned 300 kilometers and was comprised of seven major cities, with Esperado sitting in the center of it, as well as being its capital. It was considered to be the largest city in the world, and was filled with towering buildings. Crowds in the city were so large that it often seemed as though the entire world had been crammed inside it. Even smaller streets were wide enough that four wagons could ride side-by-side. The city’s parks and streetlamps were all meticulously maintained, and goods from all over the world were on display. Like the other capital cities in all human nations of Tortus, Esperado contained a Holy Church cathedral. It was known as the "Celestial Cathedral", and was the second-largest of the church's cathedrals of its age (with the largest being the main cathedral on top of the Divine Mountain).

Along the federation's borders to the theocracy was Parantino. It was located in the northwest region and was shaped roughly like a rhombus. The city was famous for its medicinal dishes, as well as its potent healing medicines. It also had many soothing retreats people could rest at to recuperate from various injuries and illnesses. Also bordering the theocracy was Obius in the northeast. To the east was Obius and then Rumalus, where both of them bordered wut the dukedom. To the southeast by the Grandort Empire's border was Valeria, to the southwest was Terio, and to the west was Kisps.

Between the six cities sat numerous villages of various sizes, and many rural stretches of empty plains and uninhabited hills.

The most notable feature of the Entris federation is the giant train-shapped golems, known as "Mana Trains", that served as the primary means of transportation between the cities. The trains' bodies were 200 meters in total, and was made of a reddish iron that had a multitude of Magic circles engraved on the exterior. There was a large, transparent jewel set into the front of the train, and there were numerous interlocking magic circles contained within the jewel. There were two windows high up on either side of the front car. The rear cars had arms jutting out of it as well, which loaded and unloaded luggage. The interior was covered in stylish, dark-brown wood, while the box seats were covered in wine-red upholstery. Mana Trains traveled at a speed of roughly 30 kilometers per hour. The railway tracks the trains used were shaped like a six-spoked wheel, and were linked to all of the major cities. Also, there were multiple stops on the train routes, rather than just going directly to and from each major city. However, there was an express line that ran only from any of the six outlying major cities to the capital.

The train stations in the major cities was ostentatious buildings held up by large marble pillars with sculptures engraved in them ha dipected various myths. Even the stairways leading up to the platform were engraved with the names of the people who build the trains. The waiting rooms were spacious, with plenty of benches and numerous places to stow your cargo while waiting for the train.

Due to its political structure, there were no borders among its member nations, which enabled anyone to enter and exit the area at anytime.

Ideology
Like most nations of its era, the Entris Federation recognized the Holy Church as its official religion and worshipped its god Ehit.

History
Before the founding of Entris, the leaders of the cities within he region wished to unite into a single nation. They aspired to find the most efficient way to speed up the travel of goods in their territory and be recognized as world-class trade hub. At the time, the primary means of transport comprised of horse-drawn carriages, and they aspired to develop something superior. After going over many concepts, one individual came up with the idea to create giant golem carriages that relied on rails, and was what everyone agreed on. Through a joint venture with the finacial backing of the Elbard Theocracy and the craftsmen from the Kingdom of Velka, the federation managed to successfully create the first of many mana-powered trains.

Over the next few centuries, the Entris Federation gained its reputation as the trading capital of the world due to all the goods that were flowing in and out of its borders that was made possible by their trains.

Thousands of years later, when the heroes of Earth were summoned to Tortus by its god Ehit, the Entris Federation no longer existed.
