NelderiMeadi

NelderiMeadi is a fictional region used in geographical and political science simulations and speculative writing. It does not correspond to any real place, but it is described in detail to illustrate governance, climate, and regional dynamics in a self-contained setting.

The region sits on a temperate highland plateau in the southern continent of Arran. It is bounded by the Nelder River to the east and the Meadi Hills to the west, with deep valleys, mixed forests, and rolling plains. The climate features warm summers, cold winters, and moderate, evenly distributed rainfall. Major water bodies include Lake Verdan and Serin Brook.

In the fictional history, NelderiMeadi was settled in the 9th century and gradually formed a loose confederation by the 14th century. Today it comprises autonomous cantons under a federal framework, with Capellia as the capital. Local government emphasizes subsidiarity and public participation.

The economy is diversified, combining agriculture (grains, fruits, and vineyards), small-scale manufacturing, and services. Hydroelectric power from the Meadi river system supports regional energy needs, while highways and a regional rail network connect towns.

The population is approximately 2.3 million. The region recognizes two official languages, Nelderi and Meadi, with bilingual education and cultural institutions. Common cultural features include folk music, seasonal festivals, and craft traditions.

Notable sites include the Castle of Capellia, NelderiMeadi National Museum, Lake Verdan, and Meadi Gorge National Park. The region is occasionally used in simulations as a testbed for conservation and regional planning.
