Pearsonovho

Pearsonovho is a fictional administrative district in the northern region of the imagined republic of Veridia. It encompasses roughly 1,900 square kilometers of mixed terrain, including lowland farms along the Pearson River and the foothills of the Pearson Hills. The district’s population centers lie in a string of towns along the river, while the outer areas are more sparsely inhabited.

Name and toponymy: The name Pearsonovho follows a Slavic-inspired genitive pattern, combining the surname Pearsonov with a possessive suffix to signal historical landholding and local identity. In fictional chronicles, the Pearson family were early settlers who established agricultural estates here.

Geography and climate: The area experiences a temperate climate with moderate winters and warm summers. The landscape includes river valleys, broad orchards, and deciduous forests. The Pearson River provides irrigation and historically powered mills along its course.

History and administration: The region was settled in the High Middle Ages and developed around farming communities. It joined Veridia’s federal structure in the 19th century and currently is administered by a district council and a district prefect. The economy centers on agriculture (notably fruit production), light manufacturing, forestry, and growing tourism. Cultural life centers on the annual Pearsonho Festival, which celebrates harvest traditions, crafts, and regional cuisine. Notable sites include the Old Mill Quarter and the Pearson Memorial Chapel.
