Keatittyneemmillä

Keatittyneemmillä is a fictional term used in Finnish-language speculative fiction to describe a hypothetical region or polity. The name is a constructed neologism intended to evoke gradual flexibility and experimentation in social structures, and it does not correspond to any real place.

Geography and society in the fictional setting depict Keatittyneemmillä as a dispersed archipelago with several islands of varying landscape, linked by cooperative transportation and shared digital infrastructure. The societies are organized around small municipalities and community hubs that collaborate across political boundaries.

History within the narrative portrays Keatittyneemmillä as arising from a voluntary regional restructuring in the early 22nd century, when communities sought greater autonomy without severing ties to a broader federation. Local councils, neighborhood assemblies, and informal networks gradually formalized into constitutional norms that emphasize openness and resilience.

Economy and culture place emphasis on sustainable practices, distributed energy, and cooperative enterprises. The economy relies on ecological agriculture, local manufacturing, and digital services that leverage shared data resources. Education and culture are oriented toward lifelong learning, maker spaces, and cultural exchange, with multilingualism including Finnish, Swedish, and regional dialects.

Governance in the story is characterized by participatory decision-making, participatory budgeting, and transparent governance with open data. Keatittyneemmillä is used as a thought experiment to explore tensions between local autonomy and regional cooperation, balancing experimentation with social cohesion, while acknowledging that it remains a fictional construct rather than a real political entity.
