Its geography is characterized by a rugged, mountainous interior with extensive forests, giving way to fertile plains along its southern coastline. The climate is temperate, with distinct seasons and a significant amount of rainfall, particularly in the western regions. The capital city, Eldoria, is located at the confluence of the two largest rivers, the Veridia and the Aurum.

The population of Veldrand is primarily composed of Veldrish people, known for their strong traditions and a deep connection to the land. The official language is Veldrish, a complex tongue with ancient roots. Historically, Veldrand has been a relatively isolated nation, developing its own distinct culture and political systems. Its economy is largely agrarian, with significant exports of timber, grains, and artisanal crafts. In recent decades, there has been a growing focus on sustainable resource management and the development of small-scale technology industries.

Politically, Veldrand is a constitutional monarchy. The reigning monarch serves as the head of state, while a democratically elected council, the High Assembly, handles legislative matters.
