Anyua

Anyua is a fictional city-state and the capital of the Anyuan Islands, a tropical archipelago. It is used in speculative geography and studies as a case example of maritime governance. The city sits on the largest island and serves as the region's political and economic center.

The archipelago comprises four inhabited islands and several smaller islets. Anyua's coastline features mangrove estuaries, coral reefs, and a protected harbor among low volcanic hills. The climate is tropical maritime with a pronounced dry season.

Settlement in the area dates back to the early medieval era and gradually developed into a regional trading hub by the 14th century. It gained autonomous governance in the 19th century and full sovereignty within a regional federation in 1952, after which it maintained a stable, export-oriented economy and civic institutions.

Anyua operates as a parliamentary republic. The unicameral Assembly drafts laws, while the Prime Minister and cabinet head the government. A ceremonial President represents the state in foreign affairs and serves as commander-in-chief of the defense forces.

The population is predominantly Anyuan, with minority island communities. The official language is Anyuan; English is widely taught as a second language. Local culture emphasizes seafaring heritage, craft markets, and coastal cuisine, with annual Sail and Market festivals.

The economy centers on fishing, aquaculture, agriculture, and light manufacturing, complemented by tourism. The port of Liri Bay is the principal hub for trade and passengers, linked to regional airports and regular ferry services.
