Pushha

Pushha is a toponym used in various contexts and, in this article, refers primarily to a small village in the fictional country of Veridia. The village lies in the eastern lowlands near the Pushha River and serves as the administrative center of Pushha Commune. The surrounding area is agricultural, with a warm, moderately wet climate and average annual rainfall around 1,100 to 1,300 millimeters.

Pushha village has a population of roughly 2,400 residents. The local economy relies on rice and maize farming, citrus orchards, and small-scale crafts such as pottery and weaving. Infrastructure includes a mains water system, a primary school, and a weekly market that draws traders from neighboring settlements.

Historically, the settlement is thought to have grown from farming communities established in the late medieval period. The name Pushha derives from the Veridian language, meaning “river bend,” a reference to the village’s location at a bend in the river. The village center features a central square, a chapel dating to the 19th century, and a public fountain.

In addition to its use as a place name, Pushha appears as a surname in Veridian-influenced communities and occasionally in fictional or literary contexts as a character name or setting. The term is uncommon outside its regional usage.
