The Geography of Pelinai encompasses the approximately 304,702 km2 of land area within the borders of the Pelinese state, along with its rivers, lakes, coastal littoral zones, mountain ranges, islands, and other geographical features. It covers a wide range of climate and biotic zones, including the tropical rainforests of Sevaria, the eastern coastal plains, the Yukisora Mountains, the Marahu River Valley, and many outlying islands within the Seiko Sea and the Eastern Ocean.

Area and borders

Pelinai is the fifth-largest country in Bailtem and the largest country in the Milayakh region as of December 2024, with a total land area of 304,702 km2. It shares short land borders with the countries of Myria and Jazeera, as well as maritime borders with Livana and Ubesii.

Pelinai possesses coastlines facing two aquatic regions: the Mediterranean Sea, and the Eastern Ocean. Because of its relatively long, thin distribution of territory in predominantly coastal areas, it also possesses an extensive exclusive economic zone located primarily in the Eastern Ocean.

Yukisora Mountains

The Yukisora Mountains are the longest and tallest mountain range in Pelinai, extending for approximately 1,500 kilometers from the northern edge of Sevaria to the southern peninsula of Stelossia. It forms a natural barrier separating the eastern side of the Pelinese crescent from the South Bailtemmic Plain and the Marahu River Valley, and formerly acted as the primary dividing line between the historical states of Yukisora, Loshkaria, and Stelossia. Its tallest peak is Mount Tenshinoe at the chain’s northwestern edge, with a measured elevation of 5,037 meters as of a 2017 survey.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are a major extreme weather phenomenon in Pelinai, which is located entirely in the affected zone of seasonal Eastern hurricanes. An average of five hurricanes of varying intensity make landfall in Pelinai each year during the Eastern hurricane season, which extends from November 1 to April 30, with the most commonly affected areas being the eastern coastal plains, the Yukisora Mountains, and the island of Zholtiya. Hurricanes also occasionally affect the country’s southwest as well, whether directly by entering the Mediterranean Sea or indirectly by crossing into the Marahu River Basin and causing flooding along the Marahu River.
