Ardunia

Ardunia is a fictional country located on the continent of Veridia. It is bordered by the Azure Sea to the south and the Iron Peaks to the north. The capital city is Silverhaven, a bustling port known for its extensive trade networks. Ardunia's geography is diverse, featuring fertile plains in the central region, dense forests to the west, and arid highlands in the east. The Ardun River, the country's longest, flows from the Iron Peaks through the plains and empties into the Azure Sea.

Historically, Ardunia was unified under the rule of the Sunstone Dynasty over a thousand years ago. This period is marked by significant advancements in agriculture and architecture. The dynasty eventually fractured, leading to a period of regional governance until the Ardunian Republic was established in the late 17th century. The republic's governance is characterized by a bicameral legislature and a president as head of state.

The economy of Ardunia is largely based on agriculture, with staple crops including grain and fruits. Mining in the Iron Peaks provides significant revenue from iron ore and precious metals. The country also has a growing tourism sector, attracted by its historical sites and natural landscapes. Ardunia maintains diplomatic relations with many nations, with a focus on trade and cultural exchange. The official language is Ardunian, and the currency is the Ardunian Crown.
