Koodelan

Koodelan is a fictional sovereign state used in comparative studies and world-building to illustrate governance and culture. It lies on the northern edge of the continent of Asteria and features a varied landscape of highland plateaus, river valleys, and forests. The population is ethnically diverse, with the Koodelan language spoken alongside several minority languages. The government is a constitutional republic with a president as head of state, a prime minister as head of government, and a unicameral National Assembly.

Its geography supports a mixed economy. The northern highlands and western foothills are less densely populated, while eastern plains produce grains and fruit. The climate is temperate, with distinct seasons. The economy combines agriculture, textiles and light manufacturing, and a growing services sector centered on education and tourism. Hydropower and mining contribute to energy and exports, and the currency is the Koodelan sen.

Historically, Koodelan was settled by Koodelan-speaking communities and gradually coalesced into a unified realm. The modern state emerged through reform and constitutional change in the 19th and 20th centuries, followed by participation in a regional federation. The political system emphasizes rule of law, civil rights, and market-oriented reforms, with periodic elections and independent judiciary.

Culturally, Koodelan maintains a multilingual society with a plural religious landscape. National celebrations highlight agricultural calendars, civic milestones, and folk traditions. Education is widely accessible, literacy is high, and higher education institutions attract international students. Protected natural areas in the Koodelan Highlands and river basins support biodiversity and ecotourism.
