Kohanevad

Kohanevad is a fictional island nation used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is described as a mid-sized country with a rugged coastline, forested hills, and a deeply maritime culture, situated in the northern reaches of the imagined continent of Norelia.

Geographically, Kohanevad spans about 12,000 square kilometers. The interior features a low mountain range and glacial streams that feed a network of fjords along the coast. The climate is cool and wet, tempered by the surrounding sea and prevailing westerlies.

Historically, Kohanevad developed from a collection of coastal cantons that formed a federation in the early modern era. It achieved full independence in 1903 and operates as a constitutional republic. The national government consists of a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government, with a unicameral legislature of 45 seats.

Economically, Kohanevad relies on fishing and aquaculture, shipping, and growing renewable energy production, especially offshore wind and tidal power. Tourism centers on coastal scenery and maritime heritage. The population is roughly 2.1 million, with urban concentrations in the capital Arivar and the port city Lynth.

Culture emphasizes maritime traditions, education, and regional crafts. Official language is Kohan, with minority languages recognized in local administration. Public transport centers on ferries and rail, while environmental stewardship and sustainable development are central policy themes.
