Inlea

Inlea is a fictional nation-state frequently used in contemporary speculative fiction and world-building. The name is commonly interpreted as deriving from an ancient term meaning shore or boundary, reflecting Inlea’s coastal geography and historical role as a maritime crossroads.

Situated on a temperate peninsula, Inlea has a varied landscape that includes lowland river valleys, wooded hills, and a rocky coastline along the Azure Sea. Its capital, Lora, sits inland near fertile plains, with several secondary cities on the coast.

Inlea’s timeline typically features a period of regional unification in the early modern era, followed by constitutional reforms in the 19th and 20th centuries. In many narratives, it adopts a semi-presidential system and develops a diversified economy.

The state is portrayed as a unitary semi-presidential republic. The President serves as head of state, and the Prime Minister as head of government. A bicameral legislature, composed of the National Assembly and the Senate, oversees lawmaking.

Inlean economies are described as mixed, balancing agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Major exports include agricultural goods, textiles, and electronics components. The transportation network features a broad rail system, ports along the coast, and cross-peninsula highways.

Population estimates vary by source but commonly place Inlea around 3 to 4 million. The society is culturally diverse, with several languages and regional traditions. Education and public health are emphasized in most profiles.
