Situated at the eastern end of [[Crona]], the Cape is located on the plains of southern Crona and the Peninsular Cronan Highlands extending from [[Mount Paektu]]. The country totals 2,335,077 kilometres squared, making it the 12th largest country in the world. The south is dominated by open, temperate lands, manifest in the [[Cape Peninsula]], [[Cebek]], and the Janusar area as arable plains and elsewhere as {{wp|savannah}}. These plains are permeated with rolling hills, and in the Cape Peninsula, surrounded by {{wp|escarpments}}. The central north is primarily composed of highlands and mountains. The nation's highest point, the {{wp|dormant volcano}} of Mount Paektu, is contained within. Dividing the north and south is the [[Pretoria River]] and its watershed, which flows westward from the mountains of the north and the hills of the south into the [[Songun Sea]]. Almost the entirety of the non-peninsular south lies within its drainage basin. The {{wp|tropical rainforest}}s of Palastra, fed by the Jet Stream, extends into the Cape's northeast. | Situated at the eastern end of [[Crona]], the Cape is located on the plains of southern Crona and the Peninsular Cronan Highlands extending from [[Mount Paektu]].

The Cape is situated south of the subtropical climate zone, although the oceans and the Songun provide a more continental and temperate climate to coastal areas. Owing to its subtropical positioning, its climate remains relatively stable throughout the year. It has two seasons - roughly corresponding to a moderate summer and a moderate winter. Average temperatures in the north ranges from 31.1°C in July to 2°C in February, while temperatures along the southern coast of the nation range from 28.3°C in July to 14.1°C in February. | The Cape is situated south of the subtropical climate zone, although the oceans and the Songun provide a more continental and temperate climate to coastal areas.
