Totaling over 345,671 square kilometers (133,499 sq mi), Roqoo is the largest country on Kiteton Island, the largest island in [[Marenesia]]. Roqoo is naturally divided into three parts: the northern coastal plain, inner spine of highland plateaus, and southern coastal plain where over half of population resides. The inner highlands, referred to as the Kansan plateau (''Kansankatto'', lit. "roof of the people"), is sparsely populated and protected by an extensive system of national parks. Three valleys, the Lantinen, Syoto, and Jarvi (listed west to east), abbreviate the central plateau and have provided natural passage between the two coastal regions for centuries. The Jarvi valley (Roquanian: ''Jarvien laakso'') is a lowland region running almost directly north-south connecting that splits the central plateaus of Kiteton into eastern and western sections. Often considered the eastern extent of the nation, the southern end of the Jarvi valley opens onto the coastal plains in which the major city of Anselm is located. | <!--Totaling over 345,671 square kilometers (133,499 sq mi), Roqoo is the largest country on Kiteton Island, the largest island in [[Marenesia]].
