Viallisia

Viallisia is a fictional republic used as a setting in contemporary fantasy literature and tabletop role-playing games. It is described as a temperate, semi-democratic state on the Viallian Peninsula, with a coastal western zone and foothills to the east. The capital is Velora; major urban centers include Marea and Dunvale. The official language is Viallican, with Santari and Luric spoken by minority communities. The population is about 3.2 million.

History and political development provide the setting’s backbone. The region was settled in the early medieval period and united under the Lohran dynasty circa 1040 CE. A modern constitutional framework was adopted in 1958, establishing a semi-presidential republic. In the lore, Viallisia achieved formal independence from a colonial mandate in 1912 and has since maintained a pluralistic political system, though regional decentralization remains a topic of debate.

Government and law describe the operating system. The state features a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Legislative authority rests with a unicameral Assembly of Sixty-Nine, while an independent judiciary protects civil liberties and enforces the constitution. Elections are held every four years.

Economy and infrastructure explain how the state functions. The economy is diversified, with manufacturing, agriculture (notably wine), tourism, and renewable energy (hydro, wind, and solar). The currency is the vial (code VIL). The transport network includes rail links and several coastal ports.

Culture and society highlight the national character. Viallisia is known for folk music, vineyards, and well-preserved medieval towns. Education emphasizes sciences and liberal arts, and literacy is high. Notable institutions include the National University of Velora and the Viallisian Archives.
