Oklara

Oklara is a fictional country used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. In many depictions it is a constitutional republic on the eastern coast of the continent of Aradia, featuring a varied landscape from coastal plains to highland regions. The capital is Valara and the official language is Oklari.

Its territory includes a mainland region and several offshore islands in the Verdant Sea. The climate ranges from temperate along the coast to alpine inland. The population is about 6 million, with major groups including Oklari, Saran, and Daru. Major cities are Valara, Norin, and Etrel.

Oklara’s modern form grew from a federation of principalities. A 1849 constitutional charter created a centralized government; independence followed in the mid-19th century. The current constitution, reaffirmed in 1994, emphasizes civil liberties, electoral rights, and checks and balances.

The government is a parliamentary republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. It maintains a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary, with elections conducted via proportional representation.

The economy is mixed, with services and manufacturing leading growth. Key sectors include agribusiness, timber, electronics, and tourism. The currency is the Oklar (OKL). The government pursues regulatory reform and regional cooperation.

Culturally, Oklari traditions emphasize regional crafts, music, and cuisine. National symbols include a river-and-mountain motif on the flag. Education is compulsory through secondary level, and literacy is high.
