The Northern Frontier Military Administration (Terran: 北疆军区), commonly known as the Northern Frontier Administration (NFA), is a sparsely-populated colonial possession of the Earth Kingdom on the north shore of the Northern Sea, opposite Peining. Due to its lack of long-term resident population, the Northern Frontier Administration is strictly administered as a dependent territory of the Earth Kingdom without self-government functions of any kind. Though nominally under direct royal suzerainty as part of the Superintendency of North Jidai, the territory is functionally governed by the military of the Earth Kingdom and an officer of the Earth Navy is automatically appointed as the resident royal governor.
The Northern Frontier Administration is a peninsula which abuts the shores of both the Northern Sea and the Far-Northern Sea, while its sole land border is with a vast hinterland of uncharted wilderness. The terrain of the Northern Frontier Administration is heavily forested and boasts a nearly impassable interior comprising steep hills, tall cliffs and wide rivers. Iconic native flora include birches, spruces and giant mushrooms. Though poorly suited for human habitation, the territory is known for its abundant natural resources, including in timber, coal and wild animals. The Northern Frontier Administration shares maritime borders with Albion and the Northern Protectorate, a territory of the Air Nation.
Despite its vast size, the Northern Frontier Administration is almost entirely unpopulated, as it is maintained solely for resource extraction activities benefitting the government and industry of the Earth Kingdom. The only settlement in the Northern Frontier Administration is the entrepôt town of Chigong, which is home to a small body of administrators, a nominal garrison and some supporting personnel. Additionally, two harbours, Dunggong and Peigong, provide access to the territory's rugged and inhospitable interior. Though these harbours are uninhabited, they regularly accommodate civilian workers and their accommodation ships during brief stints of work extracting resources from the territory.
Under the Treaty of Gaoling, the Administration (except for Chigong and its approach channels) is a demilitarized zone in which all military activity and fortification is prohibited.
