Kéijō (Sangunese: 京城, translit.: Keijō) is a city that serves as the capital and administrative center of the autonomous territorial unit of Taemhwanian Frontier Settlements Area, located in Tromelin Atoll, a most populous and densely populated atoll in the Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan and in Phinbella, and located in the Scattered Islands of the Ieu'ryïan Strait district. Kéijō is an offshore economic and cultural center in the autonomous entity Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan. Kéijō is close to the town of Panglima Bayu about 28 kilometers north via the Taihoku Channel, and close to the town of Flying Fish Cove about 10 kilometers to the west and close to Bassas da Ieu'ryïan about 38 kilometers southwest. The Kéijō city area has an area of 76.15 square kilometers, yet it is occupied by 410,000 inhabitants, while the population of Tromelin Atoll is 842,190 people. This offshore city is close to the entity boundary between Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan and the Free area of the Federation. Nichoume is the seat of the municipality and the largest commercial area. Kéijō is also one of the main tourist attractions in Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan and in Phinbella, and also it is becoming popular as a destination on summer holidays.

Kéijō is home to many squatter houses, various museums and shopping malls, it is also home to the Scattered Islands Frontier Creole community as well as the Taemhwanian music industry which has created a distinctive music genre called TC-pop. Kéijō is also home to the community’s traditional annual celebration of the Inaiko Tanko festival. Kéijō was once a village, however it has grown rapidly and will soon gain city status in RP 2618. Kéijō has also developed a light rail transit network as well as a new stadium. Since much of the city’s cultural heritage consists of cross-cultural mixing and the emergence of distinctive dialects or creoles, Kéijō is described as one of the most unique cities in Phinbella.

Rapid growth, traffic congestion, floods and rising water levels are major challenges for Kéijō. Kéijō was several times exposed to floods and storms.

Kéijō is served by a port that will connect the city with other atolls or islands as well as the Phinbellan Cyberian mainland (Cyber-Island Chain), and an international airport called Scattered Islands International Airport located northeast of the city.

Because of its location on the atoll, it was also given the title “Reef Heritage City” (Phineaner: Bandaraya Warisan Terumbu Karang) in RP 2612 by the Taemhwanian government, and due to its very distinctive cultural mixing, it was also given the title “The Phineonesian Big Easy” (Phineaner: Mudah Besar Phineonesia) in RP 2616. The Kéijō urban area, including Tromelin Atoll in particular, due to its growing population, the island area in Tromelin Atoll has expanded and several islands have merged with other islands following land reclamation since -15BP.

Kéijō is located southwest of Saint-Thomas Island in Tromelin Atoll, right in the middle of the atoll. Geographically, the atoll has hilly areas on its two main islands, it also consists of small islands that are entirely inhabited and it is surrounded by low coral reefs. Tromelin Atoll where Kéijō is located is one of the largest atolls in Phinbella and the Phineonesian Confederation which is generally located in western Keltia. The urban area of Kéijō covers an area of 115.64 square kilometers (44.65 square miles), it includes the surrounding reclamation area that combines the two main islands, while the metropolitan area covers the entire Tromelin Atoll or the entire district of the Scattered Islands of the Ieu'ryïan Strait.

Kéijō is located about 42 kilometers north of Panglima Bayu, while the distance from the reef line of Tromelin Atoll to the Panglima Bayu coastline is about 28 kilometers, and about 32 kilometers from Bassas da Ieu'ryïan to the west. Meanwhile, Kéijō is also close to the Glorioso Islands about 66 kilometers from the southwest, Eureka Island about 64 kilometers from the southwest and John Ni Island about 55 kilometers from the southeast. It is also close to Martin-de-Viviès about 72 kilometers from the west.

Close to the city center about 8 kilometers, the highest point of Tromelin Atoll is Saint Thomas Hill at its height of 401 meters. Also close to the city center, which is about 6 kilometers to the south, is located on Kadok Island, a mountain called Kaki Shinjuku Hill with a height of 245 meters above sea level, and the hill is a tourist destination in Kéijō in addition to Saint Thomas Hill. In addition, several hills exist around Kéijō as well as on the two main islands in Tromelin Atoll. Kéijō is surrounded by skyscrapers and squatter houses.

In addition to squatter housing in urban areas, Kéijō also has settlement areas on the water, where it is a fishing settlement and is located around the coast or close to its main port. Not excluded from that, due to being in the atoll, in the Kéijō city area also has a beautiful beach area that is a place for tourists from outside, one of which is the Big Bang Beach and Tetsuo Harano Beach which is located not far from the city center.

An ongoing land reclamation project in Kéijō on the Tromelin Atoll lagoon.

Kéijō including Tromelin Atoll is not spared from the land reclamation project, where it has increased the land area in this atoll from 165 square kilometers in -15BP to 395 square kilometers by RP 2625, an increase of about 16 percent. Usually some of these land reclamation projects involve the merging of small islands with major islands to form a large island and expand urban areas that serve as commercial and residential areas, as well as provide agricultural and livestock areas, it also expands port areas, coastal areas and built several resorts and recreation areas around Tromelin Atoll. Land reclamation in the Kéijō urban area generally uses polders, where the reclaimed area is covered and then pumped dry. This land reclamation also often took place on nearby islands or atolls simply because of expanding settlements and building naval bases. Tromelin Atoll is between the atolls and also cities that have reclamation areas besides Martin-de-Viviès, Providenciales, Springwind Islands, Cyborges, Plazas de Irian, Danville, Kota Hilir and Negara Awan.
