Ceylonia lies at the southernmost point of the western Songun Peninsula, itself bifurcated into a northern and southern peninsula around the Baía dos Cocos, covering a total area of {{convert|372362.6|km2|sqmi|sp=us}}. It lies between the latitudes 7°00′31″ N and 14°04′48″ N and longitudes 135°32′24″ W and 127°00′36″ W. Aside from the southern peninsula, the country is very flat with minimal elevation, which made it incredibly suitable for agriculture throughout its history. On the southern peninsula there is a small range of mountains, known as the [[Cordilheira dos Cocos]], which measures in at only {{convert|563.9|km|mi|sp=us}} and contains [[Yukatanéo]], the highest point in the country and one of the lowest high points in Crona at {{convert|1017|m|ft|sp=us}}.

Ceylonia definitionally meets the parameters of a peninsula, sharing only one land border to the west with Tierrador, and the rest of the country being surrounded by the Orixtal Sea and St. Brendan’s Strait on the south, east, and west, and by the Songun Sea on the country’s north coasts. Ceylonia has two major geographical features; the [[Wastol River]], which runs from [[Lake Takeesekee]] to the Orixtal Sea, and forms the country’s western border with Tierrador, and the Baía dos Cocos, which is where the country’s capital, Santa Maria, is situated. Much of the country’s population is situated along the Baía dos Cocos.
