Virhetulosten

Virhetulosten is a fictional autonomous region that appears in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing settings. It is typically portrayed as a coastal federation situated in a northern archipelago, with a long seafaring heritage and a governance system built around local autonomy and guild-based traditions.

Geography comprises hundreds of islands with rugged coastlines, fjords, and tidal channels. Settlements cluster in a few metropolitan cores connected by ferries and bridges. Population estimates in sources vary, commonly placed between 2.5 and 4 million residents.

Political structure is usually depicted as a decentralized federation of autonomous boroughs and city-states. A central government handles foreign affairs, defense, and monetary policy under a shared currency, while local legislatures and executive councils retain substantial self-rule.

The economy centers on renewable energy, especially offshore wind and tidal power, as well as coastal shipping and sustainable fisheries. The infrastructure includes busy ports, lighthouses, research stations, and a network of cross-island roads and bridges.

Culture and society emphasize maritime heritage, craftsmanship, and cooperativeism. A regional language variant combines Nordic and Fennic elements in fiction, and annual festivals celebrate sailors, harvests, and seasonal transitions.

In media, Virhetulosten is used as a setting to explore climate adaptation, decentralization, and regional identity. It appears in novels, games, and world-building compilations, but it remains a fictional construct with no real-world political entity by this name.
