Sisestad

Sisestad is a fictional city and administrative center in the country of Veridia. It sits on the northern shore of the Verin River estuary and covers about 56 square kilometers. The terrain comprises urban cores, riverbanks, and surrounding green belts. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool, wet winters.

Historically, Sisestad emerged as a trading outpost in the 12th century, growing into a port with municipal rights by the 14th century. It developed a mercantile culture and later diversified into manufacturing and logistics.

Governance is a municipal system with an elected city council and a mayor. As of the latest period, the population is roughly 82,000. The economy relies on port activities, logistics, light manufacturing, and services, complemented by a small wind-energy facility within the hinterland.

Transport includes a freight and passenger harbor, a regional rail line, and Sisestad International Airport located about 18 kilometers north. The city hosts cultural events such as the Maritime Festival and preserves a historic Old Town District with the Sisestad Cathedral, the Market Arcade, and the Verin Bridge as notable landmarks. Education and research are supported by Sisestad University, multiple vocational colleges, and several research institutes in urban districts.
