Torifi

Torifi is a fictional island nation used in world-building and speculative fiction. It is described as an archipelago in the tropical belt, comprising three main islands and several islets. The terrain includes coastal plains, mangrove swamps, and volcanic highlands. The population is portrayed as diverse, with coastal towns, inland villages, and mixed urban-rural communities.

The capital is Velori, located on the largest island. The official language is Torifi; other languages are spoken by minority communities. The country is bordered by open sea and maintains several ports and harbors, making maritime activity a central aspect of daily life and trade.

In the fictional chronology, Torifi was first settled by seafaring clans around the 11th century, later forming a loose confederation. It experienced external influence but achieved formal independence in the mid-20th century and established a constitutional government.

Torifi operates as a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The legislature is unicameral with about 60 seats. The judiciary is independent, and elections occur every four years.

Its economy blends sustainable fishing, agriculture, ecotourism, and light manufacturing. The currency is the Torifi Franc (TF). Public services include universal primary health care and education through secondary level, with private options available.

Torifians pursue traditions tied to the sea and harvests, with music ensembles, craft weaving, and a cuisine centered on seafood, root crops, and tropical fruits. National holidays celebrate maritime heritage and local patron saints.
