The geography of Canpei is overwhelmingly uniform, almost 90% of its territory being covered by flatlands and steppe. Only the far south features more elevation such as the Arik mountain range that is shared with [[Rusana]] and [[Corumm]]. This lack of physical barriers has historically placed Canpei in a weak position against external forces who can potentially move at will into its territory. | The geography of Canpei is overwhelmingly uniform, almost 90% of its territory being covered by flatlands and steppe.

Canpei is bisected by the Hongse river which is its most important river and water source, with over 70% of its population residing close to it. On its northern border Canpei has a strip of shoreline on Lake Kocho, from which it can draw limited water under an agreement with other countries who share the lake. Canpei is a completely landlocked nation, another unfortunate geographical condition that has manifested in economic dependence on [[Corumm]]. | Canpei is bisected by the Hongse river which is its most important river and water source, with over 70% of its population residing close to it.
