|Geography=Gostiria covers 68,207 mi² (176,655 km²). Most of it lies in the [[Western Lowlands]], and its northeast rises into the forests of the [[Eastern Highlands]]. It borders [[Ivaiê]] to the west along the western channel of the Diate, Gurverde to the north, and [[Khamria]] to the east across the [[Mazissage Mountains]]. The northern border runs from the Diate near [[Figo]] across Lake Bata at Mau, through the [[Sirilquito Hills]] and across [[Lake Arrerem]], then follows the Nagua River to the mountains. | |Geography=Gostiria covers 68,207 mi² (176,655 km²).

|Economy=Gostiria's economy rests on its ports. Seagoing ships call at Lusbá, Tabe, Marilão, Parintis, Preto and Zol, and shipbuilding is a major industry along the coast. River traffic on the Diate passes through Marca, Itape and Brão. Iron is mined in the Sirilquito Hills, and the land between the hills and the Diate is the state's main farming district. Peat is cut in the Egoaldigo Swamp, which is also a source of medicinal herbs, reached by way of the Sovoia River. The Itanha Forest supplies timber, and the railway from Arremíria carries the goods of Gurverde to Vota Bay. | |Economy=Gostiria's economy rests on its ports.

Seagoing ships use the harbors of the south coast, and barges work the Diate, the Irila and the Mino. A single road leads east from Issisdo across the Mazissage Mountains. It is the only land route to Khamria, and it is dangerous: bandits operate in the mountains. | Seagoing ships use the harbors of the south coast, and barges work the Diate, the Irila and the Mino.
