Kelekona is approximately 742,704.99 km<sup>2</sup> (286,760 sq mi) in area, much of the nation spans across most of the western portion of the [[Innis River Basin]], and a vast majority of its population is largely centered around the Innis river, its forks, the flatlands surrounding the river, and near the coast facing the Malentine Bay, the northern section of the Songun Sea that it shares with its neighbors [[Arcerion]], [[Istreyna]], and [[Malentina]]. The southeastern section of Kelekona is home to its internal lakes. The western section of the Innis river, or as it is called in Kelekona, the ''Pakariy'' ("Dawn"), serves as the main commercial and agricultural lifeline for Kelekona, and historically the Kelekonese have claimed ownership to the Cochrane river which was once known as the ''Tutaray'' ("Dusk") during the years of the North Songun civilization and up until the arrival of Carnish settlers; every attempt at reclaiming the lost territory has been met with failure. | Kelekona is approximately 742,704.99 km<sup>2</sup> (286,760 sq mi) in area, much of the nation spans across most of the western portion of the [[Innis River Basin]], and a vast majority of its population is largely centered around the Innis river, its forks, the flatlands surrounding the river, and near the coast facing the Malentine Bay, the northern section of the Songun Sea that it shares with its neighbors [[Arcerion]], [[Istreyna]], and [[Malentina]].

It is home to [[Mount Kinichu]], the highest point in Kelekona and is the ancestral home to the Kinichuyupi people. The second-largest mountain in Kelekona, located in the western range, is known as [[Mount Pachakutiq]], named after Kelekonese revolutionary and founding father [[Inti Pachakutiq Taytakawsaylliaqta]]. Both mountains hold the record for the highest amounts of snowfall in the country as average temperatures tend to be below 20 degrees Celsius, and are generally more sparsely-populated compared to the flatlands and the areas near the Innis river with Machaku being the sole city in the northern mountain range. | ||
The smallest areas of Kelekona are much of the northwestern portion of the [[Malentine Islands]]. Known as ''Rawrayaqukunatarakuna'' ("Burning Sands Islands"), these islands are vital for the nation's fishing sector of the economy, and its major point of contention since the 1980s with the Telekonese Conflicts. To this day, Kelekona still maintains a claim over Arcerion's [[Foxhey Islands]]. The islands, much like the nearby coastal areas, are home to the warmest temperatures in Kelekona due to its proximity to the Malentine Bay. | The smallest areas of Kelekona are much of the northwestern portion of the [[Malentine Islands]].

Asides from the brutal methods of repressing protests against the regime, the military junta was also noted for being highly {{wp|ethnocentric}} in nature, believing that only people of North Songun ancestry were "true Kelekonese" and that the nation's [[Jawaruna]] minority, people of Varshani ancestry who have lived in Kelekona and the preceding Kelezuno tributary state since the late 16th Century, were at fault for the centuries of decline that the North Songun civilization had suffered under. With that, the junta began to heavily persecute the Jawaruna through forced displacements and {{wp|internment camps}} while confiscating their possessions to distribute them to loyal supporters of the regime. The actions against the Jawaruna garnered even more international condemnation, with many calling it an ethnic cleansing given the nature of the persecutions. It was also during this time that a group of internationally-educated students formed an opposition group known as the ''[[Dawn of Liberty Party|Pakariyninqispikaykawpayphatma]]'' (PQK), a political party heavily influenced by {{wp|right-libertarian}} ideologies from the Occident such as {{wp|night-watchman state|minarchy}} and ''{{wp|objectivism|paqtachismu}}'' ("objectivism"), the latter of which was developed by Kelekonese philosopher [[Ninasisa Pariwana]] during the socialist era. | Asides from the brutal methods of repressing protests against the regime, the military junta was also noted for being highly {{wp|ethnocentric}} in nature, believing that only people of North Songun ancestry were "true Kelekonese" and that the nation's [[Jawaruna]] minority, people of Varshani ancestry who have lived in Kelekona and the preceding Kelezuno tributary state since the late 16th Century, were at fault for the centuries of decline that the North Songun civilization had suffered under.

The [[Final War of the Deluge]] had resulted in a huge influx of migrants from neighboring Varshan trying to escape the violence and warfare that have risen up since the start of the war in 2020. Many of these migrants have fled to Kelekona, resulting in a {{wp|refugee crisis}} as the junta had to work on giving these migrants food and shelter, but because the influx was much larger than their ability to settle the refugee the Kelekonese government and economy quickly became overwhelmed by the sudden increase in population with the latter collapsing in 2021 and the former being plunged into instability and chaos once more. President Qarawi had to establish multiple {{wp|refugee camps}} just to house the migrants while he tried to integrate them into the Kelekonese economy, and yet more and more refugees would arrive in Kelekona with each passing day thus leading to a rise in open opposition against the junta for its failure to effectively manage the refugee crisis in a timely manner. | The [[Final War of the Deluge]] had resulted in a huge influx of migrants from neighboring Varshan trying to escape the violence and warfare that have risen up since the start of the war in 2020.
