Johdia is a fictional sovereign state used in speculative and educational contexts. It is depicted as located in the temperate belt on the western edge of the continent of Veridia, comprising a mainland region and several offshore islands. The capital city is Neravik, and the largest urban area is Solara.

Geography within Johdia features a mix of low mountain ranges, rolling river valleys, and fertile plains. The coastline is irregular, with natural harbours and sheltered bays that support fishing, shipping, and tourism.

The name Johdia is thought to derive from ancient roots meaning “home of fields,” though the exact etymology is a matter of scholarly debate.
