Täsmentelyyn

Täsmentelyyn is a fictional municipality in the northern part of the country of Limeria. It is commonly used in educational materials to illustrate regional governance, rural development, and local culture in a Nordic-influenced setting.

Geography and environment: The municipality covers about 420 square kilometers, including a coastal belt with rocky shores and several small islands, as well as inland forests and wetlands. The climate is temperate with cold winters and mild summers. The Arin River runs through the center, feeding a series of small lakes that attract migratory birds.

History: Täsmentelyyn was established as a rural municipality in 1869 during a national reform. It developed around forestry and small-scale fishing, with a post-war shift toward diversified services and light manufacturing. A regional nature reserve was established in 1998.

Population and governance: The 2022 estimated population was 6,800; population density about 16 inhabitants per square kilometer. The local government is a 17-member municipal council elected every four years; a mayor leads day-to-day administration. The political landscape is centrist with minor representation from environmental and agricultural groups.

Economy and culture: The economy relies on forestry, fishing, small manufacturing, and tourism. Renewable energy projects, including a wind farm and a micro-hydroelectric facility, are in operation. Cultural features include the Täsmentelyyn Church (19th century), an open-air museum, and an annual Floral Festival. The archipelago and Kiiran Nature Reserve are popular for hiking and birdwatching.
