Valdoma

Valdoma is a fictional nation commonly used as a setting in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It is typically presented as a mid-sized country located in a temperate region of a fictional continent. The landscape varies from rugged coastlines and forested highlands to an interior plain and a central mountain spine.

The governing system in most depictions is a constitutional democracy with a bicameral legislature, a president as head of state, and a prime minister as head of government. The capital is commonly named Ardentis, and the official language is Valdan, with regional languages frequent in border areas. The constitution generally guarantees civil liberties and an independent judiciary, though portrayals differ on party systems and media freedom.

Economy is described as diversified, combining agriculture, extractive industries, manufacturing, and services. Key exports often include metals, timber, and machinery, with a moderate level of industrial development. The currency is usually called the vald.

History is typically summarized as a gradual unification from smaller principalities in the medieval period, followed by modernization in the 19th and 20th centuries and integration into regional trade networks. Conflicts and reform movements are common elements in different narratives.

Valdoma’s culture in fiction emphasizes regional diversity, with traditional music, cuisine, and crafts playing a notable role in national identity. The setting is used to explore themes such as governance, conflict resolution, and national belonging. As a fictional construct, its details vary across works, with authors adapting it to fit different worlds and storylines.
