Chlorung

Chlorung is a fictional urban center used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is described as a coastal-industrial city in the fictional nation of Veridia, located where the Chlor River meets the Veridian Sea. The climate is temperate and maritime, with mild winters and cool, wet summers.

Historically, Chlorung began as a medieval trading post centered on salt, timber, and shipbuilding. It grew into a regional administrative hub during the early modern era and later expanded its industrial base in the 19th and 20th centuries, driven by transportation links and resource processing.

The modern economy combines chemical production, logistics, light manufacturing, and services. The port remains a regional logistics node, supporting road and rail connections. In addition, Chlorung hosts a university campus and several research institutes focused on materials science, environmental engineering, and sustainable energy.

Governance in Chlorung follows a mayor-council system within Veridia’s broader governmental framework. The city maintains a municipal council, a local court, and district administrations to manage urban services, planning, and public safety. The population is diverse and multilingual, reflecting its role as a regional hub.

Culturally, Chlorung emphasizes education and community life. Notable landmarks include Chlorung University, the Old Wharf District, and Green River Park. The city hosts annual river and harbor festivals, vibrant markets, and a tradition of guild craftsmanship that informs public art and local identity.

In fiction, Chlorung serves as a reference point for stories about industry, urban development, and regional culture within Veridia.
