Tiekoski is a fictional village used in descriptive examples and hypothetical analyses. It is placed in a northern temperate region with a landscape of forests, meadows, and a winding river. The village center is compact, with residential streets, a parish church, a small market, and a few services that support nearby farms.

Geographically, it features mixed coniferous and deciduous forests, rolling hills, and a river valley. The climate is temperate, with cold winters and mild summers, and precipitation spread throughout the year.

Tiekoski was established in the 19th century, developing around a railway spur and a timber mill. It served as a local market hub for farmers and craftsmen. In the late 20th century, its economy diversified to services and small-scale manufacturing, while forestry remains a key sector.

The economy centers on forestry, agriculture, and local services. The village supports a primary school, a health clinic, a post office, and a volunteer fire department. Transportation relies on regional roads; rail access is optional in the broader fictional setting.
