It is located in the bottom-left-hand corner of the map, at the bottom of the Carver River.

Terrain:
It is located on a grassy plain, with surrounding forrests, foothills, and mountains.

Buildings:
It has a tavern, a marketplace, an ampitheatre, many inns and hotels, a town hall, a hospital, a cathedral, many surrounding farms, a public library system, and many other businesses, apartments, houses, and misc. buildings.

Timeline:
In the first game not much happens to Marina. However, in the second game Kazim attacked and completly destroyed Marina. Only a secret group of survivers contiued to live in hiding underground, led by Herman Cartridge. Soon after Kazim left the area, Herman rebuilt the city, rechristening it New Marina, though it would not return to its former glory untill Elementals 3. After Kazim was defeated, Herman gave the city back to the Elementals. In the third game the British swiftly captured Marina and burned it to the ground, only to rebuild three times as bigger than the origanal town, and much nicer with new technoligies and better matierials. As the main British Army moved forward, the town was left under Govener Charles Crane with little defenses. After the British Army was defeated and it's survivors scattered, the combined forces of the Marnian Army, the Elementals, and many other races rushed to Marnia and swiftly recaptured it at The Second Battle for Marina. In the Elementals 4 it is overun with zombies and remains that way until the end of the game. In the fifth game it is a major trading post and spaceport which remains under Elemental control, although under threat of attack at any moment.

Goverment:
Although it has it's own army, flag, and ruler, and at many times appears to be their own nation, Marina claims to be part of the Confederacy of Free Territories.
