Treitzi

Treitzi is a small town and municipality in the fictional country of Veridia, situated in the Verdan Plain along the Verd River. The name Treitzi is believed to derive from a medieval family that owned land in the area. The municipality covers about 12 square kilometers and has a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters.

Historically, Treitzi is first documented in 1324 as a rural parish. The town grew slowly through the medieval period and gained a railway connection in the late 19th century, which spurred population growth and industrial activity centered on agriculture and textiles. The 20th century brought gradual modernization, while the town preserved much of its historic core.

As of 2023, Treitzi has approximately 3,100 residents. The population is primarily ethnic Veridians, with small communities of traders and artisans. Veridian and, to a lesser extent, minority dialects are spoken, with standard education in Veridian.

The economy is anchored in agriculture, dairy farming, and small-scale manufacturing, including textiles and wood crafts. Tourism plays a minor role, focused on the well-preserved market square and the parish church, dedicated to St. Nicola. Local cultural life centers on traditional fairs, local crafts, and a yearly harvest festival.

Governance is based on a mayor-council system. The municipality elects a mayor and an 11-member council; it is part of the Eldrian Province within Veridia and collaborates with nearby municipalities on regional services. Transportation includes a regional railway stop on the line connecting to larger cities and a local bus network. Education is provided by a single primary school; residents attend secondary schools in neighboring towns.
