Stanisaw

Stanisaw is a fictional town created for encyclopedic illustration. It is located in the northern plains of the imagined country of Veridia, about 60 kilometers from the national capital. The town sits along the Lirion River and is surrounded by farmland, managed forests, and a small reservoir. The climate is temperate, with cold winters and warm summers.

Stanisaw was founded in the early 18th century by agrarian settlers and developed as a regional trading stop. It attained municipal status in the mid-19th century and later diversified its economy. In contemporary times, Stanisaw combines agriculture (notably wheat and dairy), light manufacturing (wood products and metalwork), and services (health care, education, commerce).

The population is about 12,000 residents. The town operates under a mayor-council government, with a 12-member council and a full-time administrator. Public services include a hospital, a secondary school, several primary schools, a public library, and a regional bus network; a short rail spur serves occasional passenger service.

Cultural life centers on a yearly harvest festival and a weekly farmers’ market. Local institutions emphasize community involvement, amateur sports, and traditional crafts. Stanisaw maintains formal relationships with two neighboring municipalities in Veridia through town twinning.

Notable fictional residents include economist Lidia Novak and athlete Tomasz Krol, who appear in cultural materials about the town.
