When Qyrgonteppa gained independence, as the Kingdom of Qyrgonteppa, Taqmery, served as the capital, until its overthrow in 1961, when the Declaration of the Republic, and the new Constitution of Qyrgonteppistan outlined that Taqmery, would be the constitutional capital of the nation.

Central Taqmery is located just inland from the Northern Coast, the Taqsim Bay. Taqmery sits just downriver from the mouth of Taq River, from where the Taqsim Bay gains its name. The city is located on an active tectonic area, and several small to medium earthquakes and tremors have been recorded in recent years, however no devastating earthquakes have hit the city for hundreds of years, leading many to believe that a large devastating earthqauke may occur in the next hundred years.

While the Winters can be relatively cold, while snow is a very rare occurance, however frost is a regular occurance during the short winters.
