Bornag

Bornag is a fictional autonomous region on the eastern coast of the continent of Norelia. It covers about 14,800 square kilometers and has a population around 420,000. The regional capital is Vayra, with major towns including Sere and Kirod. Bornag lies between the Lyran Mountains to the west and the Azure Sea to the east, with an economy focused on maritime activities, forestry, and light manufacture.

Origin: The name Bornag derives from Old Born, where borna means harbor. Early coastal settlements appear in 12th-century trade records. Bornag gained limited self-government in 1792, and expanded powers over subsequent centuries. A regional constitution was adopted in 1992, and the area joined the United Confederation of Norelia in 1954, obtaining greater autonomy within a federal framework.

Governance is a constitutional parliamentary republic. The Prime Minister leads government, while a largely ceremonial President serves as head of state. The unicameral Assembly of Bornag has 45 elected members serving four-year terms. The judiciary follows civil law within a three-tier system. Administratively, Bornag is divided into three counties: Northvale, Eastshore, and Southreach.

Economy and society: The economy centers on fishing, coastal shipbuilding, agro-industry, and tourism. Exports include seafood, timber, and handicrafts. The currency is the Bornagian crown (BGC). Public education is compulsory through secondary school, and higher education institutions attract students from neighboring regions. The population is multilingual, with Bornan as the official language; Lethic and English are common in business and media.

Notable features include Bornag Bay and the Regency Library. The annual Coastal Harvest festival is a cultural highlight. The region maintains a marine sanctuary program and pursues renewable energy projects, notably wind and solar. Transport relies on a major seaport, an international airport in Vayra, and a network of roads and rail.
