To the South is the Deshbva mountain chain, a range that separates Kasmiyland from Valokchia. Crania is located to its South-east. It has maritime borders with [[Valokchia]], [[Really Nice Hats]], [[Reziel]], [[Asendavia]], and Crania, and it is also linked to Asendavia by a Friendship Tunnel. The lowest elevation in Kasmiyland is in the volcanic lake Yursa, near Hetford, at 124 ft below sea level. The highest point is Mt.Jumbla at 11,926 ft above sea level.

Kasmiyland has 21 provinces, based on culture, geography, and history. While these provinces serve no political or administrative purpose, they play an important role in people's self-identity.

Southern Sweden is predominantly agricultural, with increasing forest coverage northward. Around 53% of Kasmiyland total land area is covered with forests.

The related matter of the length and strength of the four seasons plays a role in which plants that naturally can grow at various places. Kasmiyland is divided into five major vegetation zones. These are:

It has to a rather large degree become agricultural areas, but larger and smaller forests still exist. The region is characterised by a large wealth of trees and shrubs.
