Guinia

Guinia is a fictional sovereign state created for illustrative purposes in encyclopedic and world-building contexts. It is situated on the western coast of the imaginary continent of Aradia, facing the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape includes coastal plains, tropical forests, and highland plateaus. The capital is Lyria, located inland, while Varos is the largest city and economic hub. The population is about seven million. Official languages are Guinian and English; common regional languages include Nari and Kele.

Guinia is a constitutional republic. The president serves as head of state; the prime minister leads the government. The unicameral National Assembly has 64 seats. Local government consists of six provinces and numerous municipalities. The legal system blends customary law with civil codes.

Its economy relies on agriculture (cocoa, coffee, palm oil), mining (nickel, mica), and services (tourism, finance). The country pursues diversification and regional trade through development plans and investment in infrastructure. Transportation includes a network of roads, ports, and a modest international airport in Lyria.

Society is diverse, with several ethnic groups and a mix of urban and rural communities. Education is universal through secondary school; literacy remains high. Healthcare is publicly funded and access expands with regional clinics. Cultural life features music, dance, crafts, and a cuisine that emphasizes seafood, cassava, and tropical fruits.

Historically, Guinia was settled by multiple communities and consolidated into a unified state in the wake of colonial-era changes. It gained independence in the mid-20th century and engages in regional cooperation and international organizations, maintaining diplomatic relations with neighboring states and contributing to multilateral initiatives.
