How the land lies

Fruitopia sits in a wide, sun-tilted basin. The Candy Peaks wall off the north; the Juice Rivers braid down from their sugar-springs through Orchard Valley; the Neon Grove rises where the rivers meet the lagoon; and Tiki Cove opens to the southern sea. The whole basin is about a three-day skate — or one long sail — across.

Region	Character	Notes
Orchard Valley	Rolling orchards, blossom groves	Peach, apple, cherry and berry groves; the Peach Pit Diner at its heart
Neon Grove	Nightclub district on the lagoon	Art-deco towers, velvet-roped clubs, open all night
Tiki Cove	Beach crescent and palm groves	The Sunset Still, mango groves, sunset point
Candy Peaks	Northern mountains	Sugar mines, sled runs, the annual Summit Sled Race
Juice Rivers	Braided waterways	Peel-boat traffic, fishing, message-bottle post
The Mellow Marsh	Eastern wetlands	Melon farms, firefly tours, famously slow living

• Sail and outrigger around the cove and lagoon.
