Naziya

Naziya is a fictional nation-state used in speculative fiction, world-building projects, and role-playing settings. It is not a real country. In the imagined world, the name Naziya is a constructed term whose origin varies by author but is treated as a neutral toponym rather than a reference to real-world movements.

Geography: Naziya is described as lying in a temperate zone with a varied landscape including coastal plains along the Azure Ocean, a central highland corridor, and forested lowlands. The capital is Therin; the largest city is Velia. It shares land borders with the kingdoms of Arayd to the east and with several autonomous regions to the north and south.

History: In the fiction, Naziya arose from a regional federation formed after mid-20th-century upheavals. A constitutional framework was adopted in the early 1980s, and the country transitioned to a stable parliamentary republic by the 1990s. It participates in international organizations within the setting.

Government: Naziya operates as a parliamentary republic. The President serves ceremonial duties, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. The unicameral Assembly has about 180 seats, elected by proportional representation. An independent judiciary provides checks and balances.

Economy and society: The economy is diversified, with agriculture (grains and viticulture), timber, light manufacturing, and information services. The country emphasizes education, healthcare, and regional cooperation. The multilingual society includes Naziyan as the official language, with widespread use of English and Arayd in commerce and administration. Cultural life blends coastal and highland traditions, with literature, music, and festivals reflecting regional diversity.
