Proosassa

Proosassa is a town and municipality in the fictional country of Veridia, located on the northern coast along the Veridian Gulf. The municipality covers the urban core and surrounding villages. As of the latest estimates, the population is about 12,000 people.

The town sits on a sheltered harbor with rocky shores and a backdrop of low hills. The climate is temperate maritime, with mild, wet winters and cool summers. The surrounding countryside is used for olive groves, vineyards, and small farms.

Proosassa traces its origins to a medieval trading settlement established around the 12th century. It developed as a fishing and trading port, receiving ships from across the Veridian region. In the 16th–18th centuries it built fortifications and civic institutions; in the post-industrial era it diversified its economy and governance.

The economy centers on fishing and seafood processing, with a growing role for tourism and craft production. The harbor handles commercial ferries and small cargo; agriculture supplies local markets.

Proosassa is governed by a municipal council and a mayor. It is part of Veridia's provincial system, with representation at the regional assembly. The population is mostly native Veridian speakers with small immigrant communities; the age structure is typical of small towns.

Notable landmarks include the Proosassa Lighthouse, the Old Harbor, and the Market of Sails. The town hosts annual events such as the Veridia Seafood Festival and harbor nights featuring music and markets.

Inland connections via regional roads; a ferry link to neighboring islands operates from the harbor; the nearest regional airport lies about 30 kilometers away; bus services connect to nearby towns.
