Kinakuta (also Queena-Kootah) was an island nation in Southeast Asia.
Physical location[]
In Cryptonomicon, Avi Halaby pinpointed Kinakuta as lying in the strait between Borneo and Palawan.
The Baroque Cycle[]
Many of the members of The Cabal traveled to Kinakuta, although the travel is not depicted in The Baroque Cycle. The tiny nation was dominated by a mountain, which Jack Shaftoe named Mount Eliza in honor of his lady love.
Cryptonomicon[]
By the events of Cryptonomicon the island had become a Sultanate. Both the island and its sultan played an important role in Randall Lawrence Waterhouse and Avi Halaby's business venture Epiphyte. The island was the location of The Crypt.
