==Trivia==
* The Haruba Desert and nearby volcano in the eastern section of Almia may or may not be connected to [[Orre]], as mountains and deserts are what the Orre region is primarily made of. Fans have speculated on the extent of this connection.
** It could also possibly be located just south of [[Sinnoh]], considering the shape of the region when compared to the inaccessible "tail" end of Sinnoh. This can be supported by the fact that Sinnoh is analogous to the real-world Hokkaido and if Sinnoh's geography is compared to that of the real Hokkaido, it appears to be missing a tail-like piece of land that Hokkaido has at its southwest, which Almia's geography bears a very strong resemblance to.
