Boleni

Boleni is a small town and parish in the northern highlands of the fictional nation of Veridia. The name is of uncertain origin; local tradition connects it with the nearby Boleni River, and historic documents from the 16th century mention the settlement as a market village. Geographically, Boleni sits at about 420 meters above sea level, on gentle slopes with farmland, orchards, and patches of oak and beech forest. The town is the administrative center of Boleni Parish within Veridia's Lomar District.

Historically, Boleni developed as a rural market center serving surrounding farms, expanded in the late 19th century with the arrival of rail and road improvements, and has since remained a primarily agricultural community with growing service and craft sectors. The local economy is based on grain and potato farming, fruit production, dairy, and small-scale manufacturing.

Demographically, Boleni has a population of roughly 3,100 people. The community is predominantly Veridian, with Veridian and minority languages spoken; the majority of residents identify as Christian.

Governance is via a town council with an elected mayor, and local planning and services are coordinated through the Boleni Town Hall. Education is provided by Boleni Primary School and Boleni Secondary School, with access to higher education in nearby towns.

Culturally, Boleni hosts an annual harvest festival and maintains historic churches and a castle ruin that attract visitors. The town is connected by regional roads, with a bus network and a nearby railway link serving longer-distance travel.
