Kurnavi

Kurnavi is a fictional archipelago used in world-building and speculative fiction. It comprises a dozen major islands and numerous islets located in the southern seas of the imaginary continent of Odria. The archipelago is characterized by varied coastlines, coral reefs, and a long maritime tradition.

Geography and climate: The islands range from volcanic to low-lying coral atolls, with tropical to subtropical climates. The capital and largest city, Marina, sits on the central island, serving as political and economic hub.

History: Settlement is traced to coastal communities in the early medieval period, followed by integration into regional trading networks. Kurnavi achieved parliamentary independence in the late 19th century and later formed regional alliances. In the present, it maintains constitutional norms and a policy of limited foreign engagement.

Government and politics: Kurnavi is a parliamentary republic with a prime minister as head of government and a unicameral assembly. Local governance is organized by island councils. The state upholds freedom of expression, rule of law, and a civil service selected by merit.

Economy and society: The economy centers on sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and light manufacturing. The official currency is the Kurnavi Credit (KCN). Education and health services are publicly funded. Cultural life draws on seafaring traditions, craftwork, and a bilingual culture with Kurnavi as the national language alongside regional dialects.
