Balangç

Balangç is a fictional coastal municipality in the archipelago of Veridia. Created for illustrative purposes, it lies on a sheltered bay on the southern coast of the Veridian mainland. The name Balangç derives from the local language, with -ç indicating a place associated with the sea.

Covering about 24 square kilometers, Balangç features a low-lying landscape with a central hill and terraced hillsides used for olives and vines. The climate is mild, with wet winters and dry summers.

Archaeological evidence points to a settlement dating to the 12th century. Fishing and trade fueled growth through the medieval period, and Balangç gained municipal status in the 19th century. A period of modernization followed in the late 20th century, expanding services and infrastructure.

Today the economy centers on fishing, aquaculture, and tourism. The population is about 9,800 residents. The community is predominantly Veridian-speaking; minority communities include Tamari speakers.

The town hosts an annual Sea Harvest Festival; local cuisine emphasizes grilled fish, olives, and citrus. Notable sites include Balangç Lighthouse, the Old Town quarter with whitewashed houses, and the Mariner's Wharf.

Balangç is governed by a municipal council of nine members, headed by a mayor. It is part of Veridia's South Veridia Province.

The town is connected by a regional road network and a ferry link to nearby islands. Public transport consists of a local bus network. Education includes Balangç Primary School, Balangç Secondary School, and a small maritime vocational center.
