Rensedan

Rensedan is a fictional city-state in the continent of Veridia. It sits on a natural harbor along the eastern coast and serves as a major maritime and commercial center. The population is about 140,000.

The city is bordered by low hills to the north and by the sea to the south. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and dry summers.

Rensedan was founded in the 9th century as a trading post and grew through shipping and finance. It joined a regional alliance of coastal towns and achieved de facto independence in the late medieval period, formalized by a treaty in 1520.

The economy centers on port services, shipbuilding, logistics, and professional services. The local currency is the Ren, and the city hosts several free-trade districts that attract merchants, ship repair yards, and insurers.

Rensedan operates as a constitutional republic with a bicameral legislature comprising the City Assembly and the Council of Citizens. Members are elected for four-year terms, and the Chief Magistrate serves as head of government.

Cultural life centers on the annual Festival of Winds, the Rensedan Library and Maritime Museum, and a university known for marine sciences. The city preserves a historic harbor district and a guild-based craft economy.

Its infrastructure includes a deep-water port, an international airport, and a rail network linking inland markets. Rensedan is connected by ferry routes to nearby islands and neighboring ports, reinforcing its role as a regional hub.
