Nationen

Nationen is a fictional sovereign state created for illustrative purposes. It is depicted as a parliamentary republic in a temperate continental region, with a constitutional framework designed to balance powers between the legislature, judiciary, and executive. The capital and largest city is Veridia, and the population is around six million. The official language is Nationish, with English and neighboring dialects widely spoken as second languages.

Politics and government: Nationen operates a multiparty system with proportional representation. The President serves as the largely ceremonial head of state, while the Prime Minister is the head of government and chairs the cabinet. The national legislature is bicameral, consisting of the National Assembly and the Senate, which collaborate on lawmaking, budgeting, and oversight.

Geography and economy: Nationen features forested highlands, rolling plains, and a short western coastline. The climate is temperate with moderate seasonal variation. The economy is diversified, emphasizing services, information technology, renewable energy, and manufacturing. Trade relationships with neighboring states support a welfare-oriented framework that prioritizes education, healthcare, and social security.

History and society: Nationen emerged from a federation of cantons in the 19th century and established its current constitutional order in the early 20th century. It has pursued active membership in international organizations while maintaining a stance of pragmatic neutrality in security matters. Society is multilingual in practice, with Nationish as the official language and substantial urban-rural diversity in culture and tradition.
