Luganos

Luganos is a federation of towns in the fictional nation of Valara. It lies in the central plains and foothills, with a shoreline on Lake Luganos. It serves as a regional center for administration, trade, and culture.

The federation covers about 2,400 square kilometers and is home to roughly 520,000 people. The landscape ranges from river valleys to vineyards and forested hills. The climate is temperate, supporting agriculture around the lake and in the valleys.

Settlement dates to the early medieval era, with earlier traces. Luganos developed as a regional trade hub in the High Middle Ages and consolidated into a federation in the late 19th century. Since the mid-20th century, reforms expanded regional autonomy.

Politically, Luganos is a constitutional federation within Valara, with a regional assembly and an executive council led by a governor. The capital is Lumen, which hosts most ministries and cultural institutions.

The economy is diversified: services, logistics, and light manufacturing are core sectors. The region benefits from rail and port links, a growing tech sector, and agriculture focused on wine, citrus, and fruits. Tourism centers on lake scenery and historic towns.

Luganos uses Luganic as a regional vernacular and Valaran as the official language for administration. Education emphasizes bilingual programs. Annual festivals, theaters, and museums reflect its urban-rural mix. Sports such as football, cycling, and hiking are popular.

Transportation relies on a regional rail network, highways, and Luganos International Airport near Lumen. Notable landmarks include Fortress of Carra, the Lake Luganos shoreline towns, and the Luganos Research Park.
