BOMeja

BOMeja is a coastal city and regional capital in the fictional nation of Vaeloria. Located on the southern shore of the Vaeron Gulf, it stands as a principal hub for maritime trade and regional transportation. The urban area is home to an estimated 180,000 residents, with a larger metropolitan belt that supports industry, services, and tourism.

The name BOMeja is believed to derive from a combination of historical Vaeloric terms referring to harbor and settlement. The city has a long trading heritage dating to the medieval era, when it grew as a port linking inland markets with distant shores. Its geographic position has contributed to its development as a wholesale and logistics center, while its narrow streets and waterfronts retain reminders of older commercial networks.

Historically, BOMeja expanded through fortifications, shipyards, and a growing port economy. The introduction of rail links and modern harbor facilities in the 19th and early 20th centuries transformed it into a railway-linked logistics node. In recent decades, the city has focused on diversifying its economy, incorporating tourism, seafood processing, and specialized services to support regional commerce.

Economy and infrastructure center on fishing, seafood processing, shipping, and logistics. The port handles container traffic, cruise ships, and bulk cargo, while a growing service sector supports finance, education, and healthcare. Notable landmarks include the Old Fort, the Market Quarter, and the Cathedral of St. Luz. BOMeja also hosts the Vaelorian Maritime Academy, reflecting its enduring connection to the sea.
