Yenere

Yenere is a fictional country created for use in contemporary fantasy fiction and world-building. It is located on the southern coast of the continent of Velora, consisting of a mainland region and several offshore isles. The capital is Navara; other major cities include Kethar and Belryn.

The name Yenere derives from ancient Yenerean inscriptions found in the Highlands, with the precise meaning debated by scholars. The country features a varied landscape, from tropical coastal plains to rugged highlands, and is drained by the Yen River.

The Yenerean homeland has Bronze Age settlements, with later kingdoms coalescing into a unified state in the early 19th century after independence from a larger confederation. It operates as a constitutional republic with a bicameral legislature; the president is head of state and a prime minister leads the government.

Yenere has a diversified economy based on agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and light manufacturing. The population is around eight million, predominantly Yenerean, with minority communities such as Velori and Panarko. The official currency is the Yenerean dinar (YED).

Yenere culture emphasizes waterways and craftsmanship, with coastal communities notable for boatbuilding and weaving. National celebrations include river harvest festivals and music-and-dance traditions that blend indigenous and port-city influences. Education emphasizes civic participation and multilingualism.

The country prioritizes coastal conservation and renewable energy, with hydropower and solar contributing to the energy mix. Transportation relies on a network of ports, rail lines, and regional highways. Yenere is a fictional setting frequently used in genre media and academic exercises.
