Nyveria

Nyveria is a fictional sovereign state in the northern part of the continent of Eldara. It features coastal lowlands, temperate forests, and a highland spine, with a rugged coastline along the Silver Sea. The capital is Valenport; other major cities include Kestrel and Durnhold. The official language is Nyverian, with Eldari and Common used in administration and education. The population is about 3.2 million.

Politically, Nyveria operates under a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. The monarch's role is largely ceremonial, while executive power rests with the Prime Minister and the cabinet, chosen from the National Assembly, which has 118 seats and is elected every four years. The judiciary is independent.

Nyveria's history traces to a medieval merger of regional polities, followed by gradual democratization in the 18th and 19th centuries. It pursues a policy of regional cooperation and maintains formal alliances for trade and defense, though it adheres to a largely neutral foreign posture in global affairs.

Economically, Nyveria relies on diversified sectors: forestry and mining (iron and copper), agriculture (rye, potatoes), and a growing services sector, including finance and information technology. Infrastructure focuses on coastal ports, rail links between major cities, and rural road networks.

Culturally, Nyveria emphasizes education, folklore, and crafts. Major cultural expressions include the Winter Solace festival and a tradition of maritime literature. Nyverian society is religiously diverse, with freedom of worship and secular governance; education is widely accessible across urban and rural areas.
