The Nation of Arcfield

(The black 'scars' on the map are crevasses with no known bottoms. They span the nation like an ancient battle between gods once took place in the plateau)
(The yellow dots are large cities, the red dot is the capital, the orange dots are towns of noteworthy size. The grey lines between dots are massive highways and train tracks which are built to span the entirety of the crevasses)
Arcfield is a Democratic nation that situates itself in a Plateau. The plateau itself is cracked, and these cracks is what Arcfielders call crevasses. They are massive holes which have no known bottom, with the deepest expedition reaching 10 kilometres before coming back up due to low supplies. The crevasses themselves are filled with mist after around a kilometre down and it gets too thick for the sun to pierce after 1 more kilometre. Arcfielders have become expert bridge builders in order to cross these massive canyons, with each student required to know enough engineering in constructing bridges. Due to the large amount of canyons and few bits of fertile land Arcfield has a population of around 61 million, with most of that population in the cities and very few located outside of it. In terms of military there are a few military bases located around the nation at points where there are natural crossings, the ends of bridges, and in other strategic points. Arcfield is situated on top of a plateau raised around 300 meters above the surrounding terrain, but the slope to get up is shallow in plenty of places allowing for easy exiting and entering of the nation. The plateau itself is flat, extremely flat. For example, if you went to one of the corners of the plateau, and took a high powered telescope with you, you could see the capital city if the planet was not curved. Some people outside of Arcfield even go and call it 'The Realm Where the Dead Walk' as hallucinations and mirages are common. In terms of weather there are only thunderstorms and a few regular rainy day with even fewer sunny says. This is where a large majority of Arcfield's electricity is produced. With the Lightning Storms itself produces around 50 trillion watts(or 50 Terawatts) a month. It is not a common sight to see places flying in the sky.

The Bridges of Arcfield

The Bridges of Arcfield depend on electricity to keep them afloat. They are kept in the air via massive turbines powered by the electricity gained by the thunderstorm. They consume most of the energy gained from the thunderstorm so Arcfield is constantly constructing more and more lightning rods and batteries to capture and store the electricity in order to keep the nation running.
 
Arcfield is an extremely humid and rainy nation, the fog that is found in the crevasses have a huge amount of water vapor generated as it evaporates and goes into the sky. The water molecules then rub together a lot due the large amounts of water vapor there is. This causes the extremely large and powerful lightning storm above the crevasses in Arcfield. The large thunderstorms then travel to mainland areas where the lightning strikes they force down upon the ground are directed towards lightning rods attached to massive batteries.
