Folior

Folior is a fictional sovereign state located in the northern temperate region of the world of Eldara. It features extensive forests, mountainous highlands, and river valleys, with a long-standing emphasis on ecological balance and sustainable resource management.

Geography and environment: Covering roughly 160,000 square kilometers, Folior has a population about 6.2 million. The climate is temperate with four seasons, and the landscape includes protected woodlands, wetlands, and networked river corridors that support diverse flora and fauna.

History: Historically a confederation of forest cantons, Folior unified in the late 12th century through the Pact of Leaves. It gradually established a constitutional framework and modern environmental law during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Government: Folior operates as a parliamentary republic. The president serves as head of state, while a prime minister leads the government. The bicameral legislature, the Council of Leaves, comprises the Assembly and the Council. An independent judiciary upholds the Verdant Court.

Economy: The economy centers on sustainable forestry, timber processing, eco-tourism, and plant-based pharmaceuticals. Renewable energy—mostly hydro and wind—complements a low-emission industrial base. Exports include certified timber and botanical products; public services and education form major domestic sectors.

Culture and notable features: Foliorian culture prioritizes harmony with nature, community crafts, and scientific literacy. The official language is Folian; regional dialects exist. Annual Leaf Festival marks biodiversity and traditional crafts. The capital, Verdant City, anchors a network of protected forest corridors known as the Forest Corridor.
