Aliceen

Aliceen is a fictional town created as a setting in contemporary speculative fiction. In most portrayals, it is an inland community in a temperate region, notable for its century-old public library and its orchards along the Silver River.

Aliceen sits on the eastern foothills of the Verdant Valleys, near the confluence of several trade routes. It sustains a population of about 4,800 residents and maintains a compact, walkable town center.

The town is traditionally dated to the early 19th century, founded by merchants seeking to connect river trade with inland markets. Local lore attributes the name Aliceen to the founder's daughter; official documentation, when present, varies by author.

The economy revolves around fruit agriculture, notably apples and pears, along with small crafts and heritage tourism. The transportation network typically includes a regional rail stop and a bus line, while cobbled streets emphasize pedestrian traffic. The Market Square serves as the centerpiece, hosting a weekly market and seasonal festivals.

Aliceen's cultural institutions include the Aliceen Public Library, a preserved 19th-century building, a town hall, and educational facilities such as a primary school and a secondary school. The annual Harvest Festival and a summer literary fair are recurring events.

In published fiction, Aliceen appears with varying details as a fictional locale; there is no single canonical description, and elements may differ between authors and adaptations.
