Puettavia

Puettavia is a fictional sovereign state used in comparative political studies, speculative fiction, and educational simulations. Designed as a neutral stand-in for examining governance, civic institutions, and cultural dynamics, Puettavia provides a flexible framework that educators and writers can adapt to explore policy choices, demographic trends, and constitutional design.

It is described as a temperate coastal nation consisting of a mainland peninsula and several offshore islands, with an approximate area of 60,000 square kilometers. The terrain ranges from river lowlands in the north to rolling hills inland and rugged coastline in the west; the climate is temperate maritime.

Fictional history frames Puettavia's independence after a peaceful movement late in the 20th century and the adoption of a written constitution in the 1990s. In many scenarios it uses a parliamentary system, with a largely ceremonial president as head of state and a prime minister who leads the government. A unicameral legislature and an independent judiciary are common features.

Its economy centers on services, light manufacturing, and sustainable tourism, with agriculture retained in rural areas. The formal financial system, currency, and fiscal policies are defined for teaching purposes, enabling discussion of taxation, welfare, public investment, and economic resilience under different shocks.

Puettavian culture emphasizes inclusive education, public broadcasting, and multilingualism. National holidays celebrate science, culture, and regional heritage. The population is depicted as around three to four million people, with Puettavian as the official language and several minority languages represented. Secularism is common, and religious practice is diverse.
