Eravaldkonna

Eravaldkonna is a fictional sovereign state used in contemporary worldbuilding and fantasy literature. In most depictions, it lies along the eastern coast of the continent of Norelia, comprising a continental mainland region and several inhabited islands. The nation is described as ethnically diverse, with multiple languages and folk traditions coexisting under a constitutional framework.

Geographically, Eravaldkonna features a low coastal plain that rises to a spine of mountains inland, with fjord-like bays and fertile river valleys. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild winters and cool summers, aiding agriculture and fishing.

Historically, the modern state coalesced from autonomous principalities during the early modern era and achieved full sovereignty after a brief regional conflict in the late 19th century. It joined regional trade networks and became a member of the Valaran Economic Pact in the 20th century, seeking a balance between industrial growth and traditional livelihoods.

Eravaldkonna operates as a constitutional parliamentary republic. The president serves as ceremonial head of state, while the prime minister leads the cabinet and parliament. The unicameral legislature, known as the Gran Assembly, consists of representatives elected from three provinces. The judiciary is independent.

Administratively, it is divided into three provinces: Nordmark, Easthaven, and Silverfjord, further subdivided into districts. The economy emphasizes sustainable fishing, forestry, light manufacturing, and tourism. Key export products include seafood, timber, and artisanal crafts. The state maintains a social-welfare system and invests in regional infrastructure.

With an estimated population around 2.3 million, Eravaldkonna recognizes Eravaldish as the official language alongside minority languages. The society is religiously diverse, with a tradition of social pluralism. Cultural life centers on crafts, maritime folklore, and regional festivals, while education and research are supported by public institutions.
