Finzas

Finzas is a fictional sovereign state created for worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is described as an archipelago nation located in a temperate marine climate, with a constitutional framework and a diversified economy.

The archipelago comprises three main islands—Northfin, Southfin, and Isla Lumen—and several smaller islets. The coastline is jagged, with fjord-like inlets and sheltered harbors. The terrain ranges from low coastal plains to forested highlands.

Traditional Finzan society formed around coastal towns in the early medieval era. The modern state emerged through a peaceful reform movement in the late 19th century and formal independence was proclaimed shortly thereafter, establishing parliamentary institutions and regional associations.

Finzas operates as a constitutional republic with a parliamentary legislature and an appointed prime minister as head of government. The head of state is a president with largely ceremonial duties. The judiciary is independent.

Key sectors include fisheries, shipbuilding, tourism, and renewable energy, notably offshore wind and tidal power. The currency is the finz. The population is around 2.5 million with a high literacy rate and a concentration of urban life around the capital.

Cultural traditions reflect maritime heritage, with seafood-centric cuisine, artisan crafts, festivals, and a vibrant music scene influenced by neighboring regions.

Educational and scientific institutions include several universities and maritime academies, with policies encouraging oceanography, renewable energy research, and cross-border exchanges.
