Geography of Mount Vema

Mount Vema is located in the South Atlantic Ocean (South East Region), about 1,600 kilometres from Tristan da Cunha and 1,000 kilometres northwest of Cape Town. 
Coordinates: 
31°38′S 8°20′E
31.633°S 8.333°E
Terrain: The Vema Seamount summit substrate is rocky, with phonolite outcrops, bedrock of volcanic ash agglomerates, and calcareous accretions. 
Area: The seamount's plateau-like summit is approximately 14 kilometers in diameter, with the highest peak located on the southern flank of the island. However the mean base diameter of the country is about 60 kilometers. 

​Land: About 5% of land will be reclaimed as part of the network of concrete barriers to protect the floating city and key infrastructures from the destructive force of the Southern Atlantic wind and waves.  

Area - Comparative: The floating city of Mount Vema will be about 7x3 kilometres including its canals. It will be bigger than other small sovereign states such as the Vatican City of the Holy See, or The Principality of Monaco. But if one includes its territorial waters (200 nautical miles), then Mount Vema is also bigger than The Republic of San Marino, or The Principality of Liechtenstein.
Climate: - Located just south of the Tropic of Capricorn the weather in Mount Vema fluctuates little through the year, and it is very different from other countries in the region. The climate is mostly Mediterranean, but can be wet  and overcast with clouds/fog/mist/haze, with winds of about 4 kilometres per hour (light air) to 30 kilometres per hour average (Fresh/Ocean Breeze), although winds can occasionally exceed 40 kilometres per hour (Strong Breeze to Gale Force Winds). The temperature is marine, 14 °C to 21 °C average, with humidity sometimes exceeding 80%. The lowest temperatures can reach 2 °C and the highest 28 °C.
