Todistan

Todistan is a landlocked parliamentary republic in the fictional continent of Altaea. Its capital and largest city is Velgrad. The country has an estimated population of about 6 million. The official language is Todistani, with Veranese and Kalari widely spoken in border regions and urban centers. The state maintains a constitutional framework that emphasizes civil liberties and rule of law.

It spans varied terrain from northern highlands and plateaus to river valleys in the south. The Tod River traverses central districts, supporting agriculture and hydroelectric power. The climate is continental, with cold winters and hot summers; precipitation is higher in the highlands and diminishing toward the plains.

Todistan operates as a unitary parliamentary republic. The president serves as ceremonial head of state, while the prime minister is the head of government. The legislature is bicameral, consisting of a 60-seat Senate and a 180-seat Chamber of Deputies. Elections occur every five years, and multi-party coalitions are common.

Its economy is mixed, with agriculture, textiles, and light manufacturing forming the core. Mining and hydropower contribute to energy supplies. The Todari is the currency. Trade focuses on regional partners and international markets through Velgrad International Airport and a network of rail lines linking major towns.

Historically, Todistan emerged from a collection of princedoms and achieved independence in the early 20th century. A series of constitutional reforms in the mid-20th century established the current framework and broader provincial autonomy. The population is diverse, with Todistani as the majority and Veranese as a significant minority. Cultural life emphasizes music, crafts, and seasonal festivals.
