Praktstad

Praktstad is a fictional municipality situated in the northern highlands of Praktland. It is described as a small town with a mix of residential neighborhoods, light industry, and surrounding farmland. The area covers about 52 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 8,500 residents.

Praktstad lies in a broad river valley along the Prakt River, with mixed forests to the east and arable fields to the west. The climate is temperate, with relatively mild summers and cold winters.

The settlement originated as a medieval market site and grew in the 19th century with the introduction of a regional railway. The town expanded through the 20th century, preserving a historic core around the market square.

Praktstad is governed by a democratically elected town council and a mayor who serves as the executive. The council handles planning, public services, and cultural programs.

The economy combines small manufacturing, agriculture, and services. Key activities include woodworking, food processing, and logistics linked to the rail connection. Tourism is modest, centered on the historic center and riverside trails.

Culturally, the town hosts an annual market festival and maintains a small museum focused on local history. Notable landmarks include the Old Market Hall, the Parish Church, and the River Promenade.

Praktstad is served by a regional railway station and a network of buses, with road access via a primary route. The education system includes two primary schools, one secondary school, and a vocational training center.
