Triikraude

Triikraude is a fictional archipelagic nation described in world-building materials. It lies in the northern seas of the continent of Eldoria and comprises three main islands—Northmere, Midharbor, and Southcrest—plus several smaller islets. The islands are linked by ferries and causeways, forming a compact maritime domain.

Etymology and geography: The name reflects the triad of main lands and a coastal heritage. The terrain includes rocky shores, conifer forests, and marshy inlets. The climate is temperate maritime, with sea influence shaping settlement and economy.

Government: Triikraude operates as a parliamentary republic with a ceremonial president and a prime minister who heads the cabinet. The unicameral Assembly of Three represents the three islands, while local councils govern at the island level. National policy is coordinated from the capital, Northhaven.

Economy and infrastructure: The economy centers on fishing, aquaculture, shipbuilding, and maritime services. Tourism focuses on harbors and nature reserves. The government promotes sustainable fishing and renewable energy, with wind and tidal power projects along the coast and a modern logistics network serving regional markets.

History and culture: Settlements emerged in the early medieval period, with a federation formed for defense and trade. Independence is described in fictional accounts in the late 18th century. The population speaks Triik as the official language, with regional dialects; cultural life highlights sea crafts, music, and the Three-Fest, a tri-island celebration.

Demographics: The population is depicted as several hundred thousand, concentrated in Northmere City, Midharbor, and Southcrest, with diverse communities and shared public institutions.
