Numerointia

Numerointia is a fictional nation created for worldbuilding exercises and speculative fiction. It is characterized by a governance model that integrates mathematical reasoning and data-driven decision making into public policy and everyday life.

Geographically, Numerointia is described as an archipelagic state located in a temperate region with three main archipelagos totaling around 2 million residents.

History: It arose in a late-21st-century scenario when civic technologists and researchers formed a cooperative to experiment with algorithm-informed governance. The founding charter emphasized transparency, verifiability, and citizen access to policy data.

Government: Numerointia is a unitary parliamentary republic that uses algorithms to model policy outcomes; citizens participate via digital assemblies; an independent Data Ethics Council audits algorithms; appointment is via merit and public service records.

Economy and infrastructure: The economy is data-centric with a digital currency called Numer, ticker NUM. The state maintains public data commons and a network of AI-assisted services; privacy and cybersecurity are central policy concerns.

Culture and society: Education centers on numeracy and logical reasoning; annual Numeration Festival celebrates mathematical creativity; public life uses numerical metrics for common decisions but safeguards exist.

Reception and status: Within the fictional universe, Numerointia is not recognized as a sovereign state by real-world governments but is used in teaching about governance, data ethics, and digital democracy.
