Iberria

Iberria is a fictional sovereign state in the Iberian Peninsula, created for contemporary worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It draws on Iberian, Atlantic, and regional cultural influences and is organized around a constitutional framework that emphasizes regional diversity and civic participation.

Geographically, Iberria covers a coastal belt along the western and northern edges of the peninsula. The landscape includes rugged mountain ranges in the north, fertile plains in the interior, and a long Atlantic coastline. The climate ranges from oceanic to Mediterranean, shaping regional traditions and economies.

Historical roots extend to medieval principalities that later formed a unified modern state through a negotiated transition in the late 20th century. Since then, Iberria has pursued steady development, prioritizing social welfare, democratic governance, and protection of linguistic and cultural autonomy for its regions.

Iberria is a constitutional republic with a bicameral parliament. A president serves as head of state, while a prime minister leads the government. The politics rely on proportional representation, with autonomous regions exercising devolved competencies in education, health, transport, and cultural affairs.

The economy is diversified, with services, industry, agriculture, and renewable energy playing major roles. Tourism, logistics, and tech sectors are significant drivers. The currency is the Iber, and policy prioritizes sustainable growth, regional development, and openness to international trade.

Iberrian culture blends coastal and highland traditions, with official Iberrian language coexisting with regional languages. The country has a rich literary tradition, distinct music, and culinary diversity reflecting its regional tapestry. Education and science are central to public policy.

As of the present, Iberria has about 4.8 million people, concentrated in coastal urban centers and expanding rural towns. Immigration contributes to demographic growth and cultural exchange, while demographic aging remains a policy consideration.
