Souroujon

Souroujon is a village and commune in the western region of Veridia, a fictional country used for this article. It covers an area of about 40 square kilometers and had a population of roughly 2,400 in the latest estimates.

The name Souroujon is of uncertain origin. Linguists suggest it derives from a local language, combining elements meaning "stream" and "stone."

Geographically, Souroujon lies on gentle hills near the Veridian plateau. The climate is temperate, with dry summers, and most land is used for mixed farming and small woodland.

Historically, the settlement dates to the medieval period, and the commune structure was formalized in the 20th century along with regional reforms. A traditional weekly market remained a local institution into the modern era.

The economy centers on agriculture, including cereals and vegetables, as well as small-scale dairy farming and craft production. A modest tourist sector focuses on the village church and rural landscapes.

Local governance is provided by a municipal council elected for five-year terms, with coordination at the regional level. The community maintains a small library, a primary school, and a cultural center.
