Seridia

Seridia is a fictional nation located on the northern continent of Eldara. It spans about 170,000 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 7 million. The landscape combines a coastal plain, a central mountain range, and fertile river valleys. The capital and largest city is Lysara; other major cities include Verdan and Norin.

Geography features a temperate climate moderated by the sea, with forests in the north and farmland in the south. The central spine of mountains creates distinct river basins that support agriculture and hydropower.

Seridia's history traces to Bronze Age settlements, followed by periodic unifications under regional dynasties. The modern state emerged through parliamentary reforms in the 19th century and consolidated its constitutional framework with a new charter in the 1990s.

Seridia is a constitutional democratic republic. The president serves as head of state with largely ceremonial duties, while a prime minister leads government policy. Legislative power rests in a bicameral General Assembly, elected by proportional representation for fixed terms. The judiciary is independent.

Seridia maintains a diversified economy focused on services, light manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism. Key sectors include viticulture, seafood, textiles, and information technology. The country participates in regional trade blocs and exports primarily to neighboring states and international partners.

Ethnic Seridians form the majority of the population, with coastal and mountain communities representing significant minorities. The official language is Seridian; several minority languages are recognized. Cultural life emphasizes literature, music, and regional cuisines, with annual harvest and midsummer celebrations.

Seridia protects large tracts of forest and wetlands, while pursuing renewable energy through hydropower and wind. The transportation network includes highways and rail, and Lysara International Airport serves as the main gateway for international travel.
