Hetikenttäs

Hetikenttäs is a fictional municipality in a temperate, rural region often featured in Nordic-inspired literature and role-playing settings. The municipality covers approximately 60 square kilometers and has a population around 7,600. The landscape comprises agricultural plains in the east, rolling forested hills in the west, and the Heti River running through the central valley.

Settlement dates to the 14th century, with the first documented mention in 1423. The town grew around a market and later industrialized with a small textile mill in the 19th century; after the war, development focused on diversification and public services.

The local economy relies on agriculture (dairy and cereals), forestry, and small manufacturing. Tourism centers on nature trails, the river valley, and a historic church. In recent years, the municipality has attracted light-tech start-ups through a regional incubator.

The population is aging, with a median age in the low forties; the majority speak the official language Hetian, with a minority speaking regional dialects and two foreign languages. It is administered by a mayor and a town council of 15 members elected for four-year terms. Public services include a primary school, a secondary school, a regional clinic, and cultural facilities.

The annual harvest festival, known for traditional music and crafts, is held in late summer. Notable landmarks include a 17th-century wooden church and a restored railway viaduct. The town is connected by a regional rail line and bus network; the nearest major city is 40 kilometers away.
