Meraki is a small tropical-climated island. It is home to the largest active volcano in Oerba. This volcano ocasionally even erupts so there aren't many Crystali willing to live there. The soil is also mostly sand since it's so close to Dasos so not many crops there. The parts of the island that weren't burnt down by the volcano are thick undisturbed jungle.
The largest town on the island. It makes all of its money selling rarer fish from the depths of the sea to the east of Meraki. The treck to get these fish is hard but they pull a hefty profit and it's necessary to continue to live in a tropical paradise.
