Mnostvo

Mnostvo is a fictional sovereign state used in world-building and comparative studies. It is commonly depicted as a mid-sized nation in the northern part of the continent of Aerion. Its capital is Varos. The republic is known for its mountainous interior and coastal plains.

The name derives from the local term mnóstvo, meaning "multitude" or "assembly." The country covers about 140,000 square kilometers, with the Varic mountain range in the east, fertile river valleys in the south, and a temperate maritime climate along the western coast. Principal cities are Varos (capital), Lumen, and Rook.

Mnostvo emerged from regional principalities in the early medieval era. It developed a liberal constitutional framework following a peaceful reform movement in 1848 and codified the constitution in 1870. It joined the United Confederation of Aerion in 1939 and has since been a member of multiple economic and security pacts.

Mnostvo operates as a parliamentary republic. The president is largely ceremonial, while the prime minister is head of government. The national legislature, the Diet, has about 180 seats elected by proportional representation every four years. The judiciary is independent, and regional authorities administer local government.

The economy is diversified: agriculture (grain, viticulture), manufacturing (machinery, textiles), and services (finance, tourism). GDP is around 240 billion international dollars; GDP per capita about 52,000. The Mn is the currency. Major trade partners lie within the regional bloc and neighboring states. The population is about 4.8 million, with a majority ethnic Mnosti and minorities.

The official language is Mnostan; minority languages are recognized. Education is centralized with high literacy and a strong research sector. National holidays include Unity Day and Freedom Day. Notable cultural contributions include literature, crafts, and music.
