Kartalle

Kartalle is a fictional village created for illustrative purposes in studies of rural development and regional planning. It is situated in a temperate region of the northern hemisphere in the fictional country Nordia, and is used as a representative example of small-town dynamics, land use, and governance.

The village covers about 15 square kilometers and lies in a river valley, with farmland to the east and a mixed woodland to the west. The population is around 3,600 residents, with households ranging from single-person to multi-generational families. The age structure is representative of many rural municipalities, with a sizable workforce in mid-life.

Kartalle is governed by a nine-member town council; the mayor is elected from among council members. Its economy combines agriculture (dairy and crop production), light manufacturing (wood products), and services (retail, hospitality, and public services).

The town is served by a regional rail line and local bus routes. A network of cycle lanes connects neighborhoods to the town center, and the river provides recreational opportunities and minor commercial access.

Founded in the late 19th century around a railway junction, Kartalle experienced steady growth through the 20th century and modernization in the 2000s. Cultural life centers on an annual Kartalle Market and Summer Festival, showcasing local crafts and music.

Notable features include a central market square, a restored station building housing a community hub, and a nearby nature reserve that protects biodiversity and provides outdoor recreation.
