Although the continental country is mostly covered in steppes, you'll also see wondrous sights like lakes, canyons, sand dunes, and cliffs along the way. Getting from one province to another requires days of driving over some of the roughest terrain on Earth, often across vast empty spaces. Sometimes your only companions on the road are the herds of horses, yaks and sheep grazing on the plains. At other times, eagles are seen hovering above.
