Geography
Denton's land mass comprises just over 215,000 square miles of land resting on the Finnin Plateau, just south of the Diamantina Escarpment. The Finnin Plateau is a Large Igneous Province (LIP), which was formed separate from the Kerguelen LIP. When Australia and Antarctica started to separate, the Finley LIP was separated from the Kerguelen LIP by the Southeast Indian Ridge. The Finnin Plateau/LIP is different from other areas of oceanic crust, in that it has a crustal thickness that ranges from 13-25 miles thick, compared to the typical 4.3 miles of normal oceanic crust. It is slightly smaller than the Kerguelen LIP (480,000 square miles), at about 390,000 square miles.
There is speculation among scientists that the East and West Islands were at one time a whole and were separated just after the Finnin LIP separated from the Kerguelen LIP. Possible evidence of this can be seen clearly on maps and hydrographic surveys, which show of a 'stretched' area just between the two islands. There is some geologic evidence to support this theory, but further information is being gathered.
The landscape of Denton is varied, but is primarily mountainous, with the western half of Waotunui (west island) and the majority of Otuhua (east island) covered with mountains. The eastern half of Waotunui is covered in Highlands and Plains.
Climate
Denton has a mild and temperate maritime climate (Köppen Cfb), although some areas experience a cold-semi arid climate (Köppen BSk), primarily in areas where mountains are on all sides, creating a rain-shadow effect. This is climate type is experienced in Fort Crassna and Hukanui, although the central highlands (Fort Albany) area experiences this climate as well.

Salide
After the Denton Revolution, there was much animosity between Salide and Denton. James III and Isabella VI sought to reduce this hostility and increase diplomatic relations. In 1888, Isabella VI and William Murphy, Denton's 16th president (1881-1889), met in Cappach to sign the Salidan-Dentonite Treaty of Friendship of 1888. The treaty remained intact even through Salide's communist years (1922-1951).
