Uttalet

Uttalet is a small coastal municipality in the fictional nation of Nordmark. Located on a sheltered harbor along the Nord Sea, it covers about 25 square kilometers and features rolling hills inland. As of 2023, the municipality has roughly 5,000 residents. The economy centers on commercial and recreational fishing, aquaculture, tourism, and light manufacturing.

Uttalet originated as a 17th-century fishing hamlet. Harbor improvements in the 19th century and a regional rail line completed in the 1890s stimulated growth. The town expanded in the early 20th century with a pier and a fish canning facility, many of which have since closed or repurposed. In recent decades, Uttalet diversified toward tourism and renewable energy.

The town experiences a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers. Rainfall is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. The harbor provides sheltered anchorages and a natural breakwater that protects local fishing boats and tourist vessels.

Uttalet is governed by a 12-member municipal council led by a directly elected mayor. Public services include a primary school, a secondary program, a clinic, a small hospital in a nearby town, a library, and a cultural center.

The town center features a 19th-century lighthouse, a working harbor, and a market square. An annual midsummer festival draws visitors for traditional music, crafts, and seafood.

The town is connected by a regional rail line and a national highway. Local buses link Uttalet to nearby villages, while the harbor remains the main gateway for seafood and tourism.
