Elaros

Elaros is a fictional nation located in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. It covers an area of roughly 120,000 square kilometers and has a population around 4.3 million. The capital and largest city is Lareth. The official language is Elaric, with regional communities retaining local languages. Elaros operates as a parliamentary republic, with a bicameral legislature and an executive led by a Prime Minister; the President serves as a largely ceremonial head of state.

Geographically, Elaros is defined by the Cordis Mountain range in the north, a central high plateau, and fertile river valleys that drain into the Silvermere basin. The eastern plains enjoy a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. The nation contains several protected areas, including the Silvermere National Park.

Historically, Elaros traces settlement to the Bronze Age and unified into a loose confederation by the 14th century. A constitutional charter in 1521 established the modern state’s parliamentary framework. The country has since experienced periods of reform, expanding civil rights and diversifying its economy.

Demographically, Elaros is ethnically diverse, with the Elarans forming the majority and communities such as the Kethari minority. Religion is varied, with secular identities prominent alongside traditional temples. Education is highly valued, and literacy rates are among the regional highs. The health system operates publicly with mandatory coverage.

Economically, Elaros relies on agriculture—grains and vineyards—alongside light manufacturing, forestry, and a growing services sector. Hydroelectric power supplements the grid, and tourism centered on historic towns and natural parks contributes to regional growth. The government pursues steady development while maintaining environmental safeguards.
