The country has few geographical features, being composed mostly of desolate, windswept flatlands. They are largely devoid of [[rockbud]]s, but rather covered in small gashes, about one to three inches deep, giving it an appearance of wrinkles or ripples. Those "wrinkles" are covered with lichen on the stormward side, and flattened grass on the opposite one. Trees are sparse and scrawny, bending leeward so far as to nearly touch the ground. The mountaintops are similarly bare, scoured raw by the [[highstorm]]s.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
The only known settlement in Greater Hexi is [[Lexili]], near the border of Marat.{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}} Another notable location is the [[Valley]] of the [[Nightwatcher]], in the mountains that form the country's north-western border.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
It has an area around 454,000 km<sup>2</sup>{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}}. In terms of real-world nations, this puts it slightly larger than the total area of Sweden.
