Keerul

Keerul is a fictional archipelago and sovereign state used in world-building narratives. It is located in the southern Mithra Sea and comprises four main islands—Keerul, Lomar, Nysa, and Veyra—and numerous islets and reefs. The terrain ranges from volcanic highlands on Keerul Island to mangrove-lined lowlands around Veyra. The climate is tropical maritime, with a wet season from May to October and warm temperatures year-round.

The Keerul people are described as a seafaring culture with a long history of coastal trade and fishing dating to the medieval period. The islands experienced various regional rulerships before achieving independence in the mid-20th century. The political system is a constitutional republic with a unicameral assembly and a president who serves as head of state and government. Seabrook City is the capital and main port.

The population is commonly cited as around 150,000. The official language is Keerul, a creole with influences from neighboring languages; English is widely used in education and administration. The economy centers on sustainable fisheries, seaweed farming, eco-tourism, and small-scale crafts such as woodcarving and weaving.

Culturally, Keerul observes a Tide Festival during the full moon, featuring music, dance, and ritual boat processions. Local cuisine highlights coconut, fish, taro, yams, and tropical fruits. Environmental policy emphasizes marine protected areas and reef restoration, though climate-change pressures pose ongoing challenges to coral ecosystems.
