I don't remember geography being a part of IPv6.

And since when did network topology have anything to do with geography?
In the early days, packets might go from west coast to east coast
before landing in UIUC, e.g.  Even now, with attempts to concentrate
around the MAEs, some of my packets have been known to go to New York
before returning to a site a mile or two away a few milliseconds later.
