The Krasoan provinces encompass the entirety of Big Krasoa Island and nearby Island №3, which lays across Aventurine Bay (''Bahía Creciente''); as well as the entirety of Island №5 and part of the island of Saint Martin, which is divided between the Colony of Nív-Martain and the Burgundine colony of [[Port de Vent]]. Krasoan control of these areas further extends to a number of smaller offshore islets and small remote islands.

The climate of the Krasoa Islands is humid and oceanic throughout, with thermotypes ranging from supratropical in Nív-Martain, to infratemperate, to thermotemperate in South Krasoa and various highland pockets on Big Krasoa Island and Island №5. Seasonal variation in the subtropical areas of Krasoa is mild, but follows southern hemispheric patterns.

Local wind patterns and topographic features create a number of unique {{wp|microclimate}}s in various locations across the archipelago, which are useful for [[Krasoa Islands#Agriculture|agriculture]].


Population density is highest along the coastlines and also along the [RIVER] and its tributaries in the interior of Big Krasoa Island. As for inland areas, higher-altitude lands were historically more densely populated than lowland areas, due to the more temperate climate of the former and by extension their greater suitability for the transplantation of mainland Kiravian agriculture; however, this historical correlation between altitude and population density has eroded due to the effects of {{wp|air conditioning}} and population decline in older upland agrarian communities.

Laying within the same longitudinal band as east-central [[Great Kirav]], the Krasoa Islands observe Valēka Standard Time.
