Euradian

Euradian is a term used in speculative fiction and theoretical discourse to denote the inhabitants and institutions of Euradia, a fictional European federation used for narrative worldbuilding and political analysis. In most depictions, Euradians share a common civic identity built around constitutionalism, regional cooperation, and a commitment to supranational integration, while preserving diverse regional cultures and languages.

The name Euradian appears to derive from a combination of Europe and a Latin-like suffix common in demonyms, and it is not tied to a single canonical text. Various authors and educators have used Euradia as a fictional case study, a hypothetical state to discuss issues such as federalism, minority rights, and regional autonomy.

Geographically, depictions place Euradia in a central or eastern European setting, sometimes with a coastline or significant river systems. Politically, Euradia is often portrayed as a constitutional federation or union with a bicameral legislature, a central executive, and devolved regional authorities that balance national unity with local autonomy.

Societally, Euradians are frequently described as multilingual and culturally diverse, with a shared civic language complemented by regional dialects and minority languages. The economy is commonly depicted as mixed, featuring public services, manufacturing, and an emphasis on sustainable development and innovation.

Because Euradian is used as a fictional or hypothetical construct, there is no recognized sovereign state by that name. The term functions primarily as a tool for exploring questions of governance, national identity, and the dynamics of regional integration in classroom settings and in speculative fiction.
