Just a few miles to the north lies the small country of Chernarus. ↑ Spanel, Marek Carey, James Vaňo, Martin Boček, Martin (17 June 2009).The capital of Chernarus is Novigrad, located in the western part of the country. The largest city in South Zagoria is Chernogorsk. The geography of the South Zagoria region itself is based on the Usti region of the Czech Republic the developers of ARMA 2 are based in the Czech Republic.Īccording to 2009 promotional material provided by Bohemia Interactive, the developer of ARMA 2, South Zagoria borders Russia to its north and the (fictional) Green Sea to its south and east. The rendition of Chernarus featured in the DayZ standalone game is based on that featured in ARMA 2, but is more detailed and expansive. The entirety of Chernarus is not rendered in ARMA 2 or the DayZ standalone game rather one region known as 'South Zagoria' is in addition to an island called Utes. According to supplementary materials released in 2009 by Bohemia Interactive Studio, the developer of ARMA 2, Chernarus borders Russia to its north, the fictional country of Takistan to its west (featured in the ARMA 2 expansion pack ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead), and the fictional body of water known as the Green Sea.
