Konalani, officially the Kingdom of Konalani (Konalanese: Aupuni o Konalani), is an island country in the Southern Oriental Ocean of Thalassa. The country is made up of five islands in an archipelago, and has a total size of 824 km2 (318 sq mi). 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. Konalani's closest neighbours are Burkini to the north, the Sunset Sea Islands to the northeast, and Tarua to the southeast.

Konalani is attested to have been inhabited between the 6th and 11th centuries by Azano-Marenesian peoples originating from Burkini, Tarua, Apuni, and other islands in the South Oriental, with these groups later forming the unified cultural traditions, language, and identity of the modern-day indigenous Konalanese. Organized into small proto-statelets for most of its history, the islands remained in relative isolation until the 18th century, when contact was made with Orinese and Gallambrian explorers, who quickly saw Konalani as a valuable trade port and refueling station for ships between Thalassa and Marenesia. 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's 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 occurred. This immigration defined the early Konalanese economy through the extensive sale of land to Gallambrian and Orinese investors to produce a number of cash crops, including sugar, coffee, pineapples, and other fruits.
