Ubundia

Ubundia is a fictional country used in world-building, literature, and role-playing settings. It is typically depicted as an island nation in the imaginary Ubundian Sea, featuring a tropical maritime climate and a culturally diverse population. It is not a real country.

Geography and climate

Ubundia comprises eight inhabited islands and several smaller islets. The terrain ranges from volcanic highlands in the north to rainforest lowlands along the southern coasts. The climate is tropical maritime, with a pronounced rainy season and relatively steady temperatures year-round. The coastline includes extensive bays, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs, creating rich marine habitats.

History and politics

In fictional histories, Ubundia emerges as a trading society in the late medieval period and attains independence in the 19th or early 20th century. The political system is described as a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. It features a bicameral legislature and multiple political parties. The capital is Ubunda City, located on the largest island; other major urban centers include Port Luma and Nara Cove.

Economy and society

The economy is mixed, emphasizing tourism, fisheries, cacao and spice agriculture, and light manufacturing. The currency is the Ubundian dollar (UBD). The population is generally portrayed as a few million, with public funding for education and health in many depictions. Ubundian culture blends coastal trading traditions with inland Indigenous and immigrant communities, reflected in music, cuisine, and festivals such as the Festival of Waters.
