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.
