Kufizoni

Kufizoni is a fictional country created for world-building, literature, and role-playing games. It sits in a temperate highland region and is largely landlocked, with an economy tied to fertile river valleys, forests, and minerals. The name is linked to a legend about a founder who united diverse valleys, though in-world texts vary on origin.

Geographically, Kufizoni comprises foothills, forests, and alpine meadows. A central river system supports agriculture and settlements. The population is multilingual and ethnically diverse; Kufizan is the de facto lingua franca, with regional languages in local use. Major cities are small and dispersed.

Governing structure is a constitutional framework with a directly elected president and a parliamentary legislature. The judiciary is independent, and local administrations manage counties. Elections are periodic, with civil society groups and universities influencing policy.

The economy is mixed, combining agriculture, forestry, light manufacturing, and tourism tied to natural and cultural heritage. Exports include timber and grain, while education and research drive local innovation. Social policy emphasizes healthcare and education with regional mutual aid networks.

Historically, Kufizoni is depicted as a merger of several tribal polities that consolidated in the early modern era. Constitutional reforms in the 19th or 20th century brought stable governance and modernization. In-world lore continues to explore identity, language policy, and regional coexistence.
