Crohna

Crohna is a fictional country commonly used in world-building and speculative fiction. In its traditional setting, Crohna is described as a temperate nation located in the northern highlands of the continent of Nyria, with the Staal Mountains to the north and the Crescent Sea to the east. The terrain combines alpine plateaus, dense forests, and broad river valleys, supporting diverse settlements.

Historically, Crohna arose from medieval principalities and leagues that gradually centralized into a modern state. In many narratives, a constitutional framework was established in the 19th century, followed by a peaceful transition to a parliamentary republic. The capital is Valenport, a city noted for its riverside markets and fortress hill.

Politically, Crohna operates as a unitary republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The unicameral legislature seats multiple parties, and an independent judiciary oversees constitutional rights and civil liberties. Local governance emphasizes municipal councils and regional assemblies in a largely decentralized framework.

Demographics describe a population of about three million people, with Crohnian as the dominant language alongside smaller communities speaking Lethari and other regional dialects. The majority practice secular, civic traditions, with regional folk music and crafts reflecting mountain and river influences.

The economy combines agriculture, forestry, and small-scale manufacturing with growing services and tourism. Key sectors include dairy and grain production, timber processing, and heritage tourism centered on historic fortifications and landscapes. The currency and trade relations are fictional elements common in world-building settings.

Notable features in Crohna's fictional geography include the Valen River Gorge, the Old City of Orhath, and the Alpine foothill region known as the Silver Spine. Crohnan culture emphasizes storytelling, seasonal festivals, and crafts such as woodcarving, weaving, and metalwork.
