Halfway is a roughly triangular island in the [[Sea of Canete]], sitting about a hundred miles to the east of northeastern [[Sarpedon]]. The island is situated just below the equator. The island was formed from an ancient volcano, known as Mount Pinefor, which is the primary topographical feature of the island. Mount Pinefor sits at the center of the island, with the island's highest point being roughly its geographical center; Mount Pinefor gently slopes down from the island's center to a ring-shaped coastal plain that makes up the island's coasts. Accordingly, the island's bays and harbors are well suited for human settlement and commercial applications, giving Halfway its historic reputation as a trade center.


=== Cities and towns ===
Due to the island's location relative to the equator, Halfway has a {{wp|Tropical monsoon climate|tropical wet climate}}. Resulting from this, human settlement is more densely focused on the external plain of the island, as the area around Mount Pinefor is dense, wet jungle not well suited for human life.
 
In terms of its political geography, Halfway is divided into five counties and one {{wp|Consolidated city-county|consolidated city-county}}, Koureiros. Each of the five counties is broadly coterminous with the metropolitan area of five of the island's six major cities. They are Elatia County, Pertoulo County, Damasa County, Chasini County, and Pedino County, each being named for the County's major city center.
