Gawain[/FONT][FONT="] is a state within the Commonwealth of Avalon on the Saturnian world of Mimas. It is found in northeast Avalon, bordering the Arab Republic of Enki to the east. Gawain borders Lancelot to the south and Arthuria to the west; it’s northern border is the Herschel Sea, while its southern border is the Pangea Mountains that split the Commonwealth of Avalon in two.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The first Terran expeditions reached Mimas with the Messenger 4 lander Endurance in 2022. This was followed by the first Terran manned landings later in the century, with the Soviets landing in the 2030s and the Americans in the 2050s. There was intermittent Terran expeditions over the succeeding centuries, and full-scale human settlement didn’t begin until 2092 when the United States Congress passed the Mimas Homestead Act.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Gawain, like the other states in Avalon, is very dry. Its northern coastal regions are generally temperate broadleaf forests and are more suited to agriculture thanks to the freshwater Herschel Sea. The interior quickly gives way to an arid steppe and then a desert, before hitting the Pangea Mountains in the south. Approximately 58% of the state’s land (28,544 square miles (73,928 km2 or 18,268,160 acres)) is owned by the federal government.[/FONT]
[FONT="]As of a 2135 U.S. Census Bureau estimate, Gawain has a population of 2,235,364 people, making it the 2nd most populous state in Avalon and the 238th most populous state overall. It was admitted to the Union on August 22, 2117, the 6th and most recent state in Avalon to be admitted. It has experienced tremendous growth in recent years due to the growing financial sector in the northern cities and the recent mineral wealth discovered in the Pangea Mountains. Its capital and largest city is Greensboro.[FONT="]
