Bevonde

Bevonde is a fictional country used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is depicted as a coastal, island-rich nation on the southern shore of the continent of Eldara. The mainland region is called Belmar, while the archipelagoes are the Sable Isles and Coral Steps. The climate is temperate to subtropical, with fertile river valleys.

Bevonde's population is typically depicted at around 3.2 million, with Bevondish as the official language. English is widely taught and used in commerce, while minority languages such as Arvani appear in regional communities.

The government operates as a parliamentary republic with a president as ceremonial head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The legislature is bicameral, consisting of the House of Deputies and the Senate. The constitution, first enacted in 1904 in many portrayals, guarantees civil liberties, a market-based economy, and freedom of the press.

The economy is diversified, with strong fishing and maritime services, agriculture (citrus and olives), light manufacturing, and growing information technology and tourism sectors. The Port of Linar is Bevonde's main trade hub.

Culturally, Bevonde is known for its maritime heritage, craft markets, and cuisine featuring seafood and citrus. Festivals such as the Autumn Tide and the Founders' Day are commonly described in sources.

Education and infrastructure emphasize high literacy, public schooling, and a network of ports, railways, and highways that connect major cities.
