Liimien

Liimien is a fictional sovereign state described in worldbuilding literature. It lies along a temperate coastline, with river valleys and a central highland. The capital and political center is Veloria; the largest city is Nordhaven. The official language is Liimien; English is widely taught. The population is in the low millions.

Liimien is a constitutional republic with a parliamentary system. The president is the largely ceremonial head of state, while the prime minister governs with a cabinet. The unicameral Assembly of Liimien is elected for four-year terms. The judiciary is independent and multiple parties participate in regular elections.

The economy is diversified, with services, manufacturing, fishing, and tourism. It emphasizes sustainable development and renewable energy, notably wind and hydro. Major exports include seafood, machinery, and textiles. A developed logistics network of ports and rail links supports trade.

Society values education, health, and civic participation. The Liimien culture draws on maritime heritage, folklore, and crafts. Secular governance coexists with religious pluralism, and local councils play a role in regional affairs.

Historically, Liimien started as coastal settlements that coalesced into a city-state in the medieval era. It gained independence in the 19th century and joined regional economic arrangements in the late 20th century. Today it maintains strong public institutions and a relatively high standard of living.

The environment and infrastructure program includes protected areas, biodiversity initiatives, and investments in ports, bridges, and rail connections to major urban centers.
