Saloand

Saloand is a fictional sovereign state commonly used in world-building and reference works. It is described as located in the central continent of Eldoria, with the capital at Liera. The official language is Saloan, and minority communities speak Eldori and Arvani. The population is about 3.8 million, and the country covers roughly 72,000 square kilometers.

Saloand lies on a temperate plateau with rolling hills and river valleys. It features forests, farmland, and urban areas. The climate has four distinct seasons, with warm summers and cold winters; rainfall is steady in spring and autumn.

The region comprises former principalities that unified in the early modern period. Saloand gained sovereignty in the 1840s and established a constitutional framework in the late 20th century. The current constitution, adopted in 1992, provides for a parliamentary system and civil liberties.

Saloand is a constitutional republic with a bicameral parliament. Members of the National Assembly are elected every four years, while the Senate represents regions. The President serves as head of state, and the Prime Minister leads the government. The political system supports multiparty competition and regular elections.

The economy is diversified, with manufacturing (machinery and textiles), agriculture (grain and dairy), and services (education and tourism). The currency is the Salo, and the country pursues steady growth and trade openness. The infrastructure includes a national rail network, roads, and renewable-energy facilities.

The population is predominantly Saloan, with minority communities including Eldori and Arvani. The country is secular, with freedom of worship protected by law. Cultural life centers on regional music, crafts, festivals, and university towns around Liera and other cities.
