Organeves

Organeves is a fictional city-state and major port on the eastern coast of the continent of Meridia. It sits at the mouth of the Organe River and spans about 150 square kilometers. The population is around 320,000, with a mix of urban and coastal communities.

The city lies in a temperate zone with a rocky shoreline, tidal estuaries, and surrounding hills. The harbor supports container traffic, fishing, and ferry services. The climate features mild winters and warm summers, moderated by sea breezes.

Organeves traces its origins to medieval trading posts founded by seafaring communities. It gained de facto independence in the 15th century and formal recognition through a regional treaty in the 16th century. It evolved from a mercantile republic to a constitutional city-state in the late 20th century, joining a regional confederation in the 21st.

Organeves operates as a constitutional republic. Executive power lies with the mayor and an appointed council, while a unicameral assembly handles legislation. The judiciary is independent, and the city participates in regional governance structures for trade and security.

The economy is diversified. The port and logistics sector remains central, complemented by shipbuilding, finance, and technology startups. Tourism and sustainable agriculture contribute to growth, with renewable energy initiatives supporting infrastructure.

The official language is Organevan, with multilingual communities and immigrant neighborhoods. Cultural life centers on the maritime festival, markets, and waterfront dining. Architecture blends historic seafronts with modern glass-and-steel design.

The city hosts several universities and research centers, a national library, and cultural venues. Notable sites include the Grand Wharf, the Organeves Library, and the Cliff Gardens.
