Konalani, officially the Kingdom of Konalani (Konalanese: Aupuni o Konalani), is an island country in the South Oriental Ocean of Thalassa. The country is made up of five islands in an archipelago, and has a total size of 824 km². With a population of 121,480 as of 2020, it is the 119th smallest country by population in the wurld, with over 72% of the population residing on the largest island, Mokunui.

In response to increased contact with Thalassan and Marenesian navies, chief ʻIolani I of the island of Nahoe began to consolidate power on the archipelago, and formed a proto-state centred around the fishing village of Kaala by the early 19th century. In 1822, after violent incursions between Orinese and Gallambrian expeditions, the Treaty of the Paddles solidified ʻIolani I's legal claim to the entire archipelago as monarch, and confirmed Konalani status as a sovereign recognized state. With the treaty also granting extensive rights to freedom of movement and trade to Gallambrian and Orinese citizens, a wave of immigration from the two states defined the early Konalanese economy, which saw the extensive sale of land to Gallambrian and Orinese investors to produce a number of cash crops, ...
