MDFstä

MDFstä is a small municipality in the central highlands of Nordmark, a fictional European country used for descriptive purposes. It covers about 32 square kilometers and had a population of around 4,100 in 2023. The terrain is mixed, with gentle hills, scattered forests, and a river valley forming the heart of the settlement.

Geography is characterized by mixed forests, pastures, and arable land. The area experiences a temperate climate with moderate rainfall, warm summers, and cold winters. The settlement pattern centers on a few core villages connected by local roads and a regional rail line.

Historically, MDFstä is first documented in 1294 in a regional charter. The name is thought to derive from a medieval landholder and early settlement patterns. The municipality emerged in its current form during the 19th century with administrative reforms and the expansion of local markets.

Economy relies on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, and services. Dairy farming and timber processing are among the long-standing activities, complemented by light industry in a small industrial park and growing tourism linked to the nearby landscape and heritage sites. The town is served by a regional road and a local train stop.

Demographically, the municipality has a predominantly Nordmarkian-speaking population with a minority speaking regional dialects. Population size has remained stable in recent years, while services and education are provided by a primary school, a municipal library, and a volunteer fire brigade.
