However, over 97% of its population reside north of the [[Paqkijittiavat Mountains]] along its northern coast on the [[Bay of Diamav]]. This area makes up almost 4% of its land area and has a significantly higher population density than the country as a whole. The capital and largest city, [[Aputillu]], is located in this area.
