Nordavias

Nordavias is a fictional nation created for world-building and speculative fiction. It is depicted as a constitutional federation located in northern latitudes, with a long coastline and a mix of mainland and island territories.

The country comprises a continental mainland with boreal forests and river valleys, plus an archipelago to the northeast. The climate ranges from subarctic inland to temperate maritime along the coast, with long winters and brief summers.

Nordavias originated as coastal clans that gradually united in the early modern era and later adopted a federation model that grants regional autonomy while maintaining a central government.

It operates as a constitutional federation with a parliamentary system. The president serves as head of state, while a prime minister leads the government. Regions retain substantial self-government within a federal framework.

The economy emphasizes sustainable resources, including fisheries, forestry, hydro and wind power, and light manufacturing. Tourism and education services also contribute significantly, supported by a trade-friendly regulatory environment.

The population is approximately 3 million, with diverse communities and languages. The official language is Nordavic, complemented by regional languages. Education and healthcare are publicly funded.

Maritime heritage, winter sports, and literature are central to Nordavian culture. National cuisine features fish, berries, dairy products, and foraged mushrooms; festivals mark solstice and harvest.

The flag consists of a blue field with a silver compass rose. Major cities include Nordhaven and Fjordport, while notable landmarks include the North Gate and the Fjord City complex.
