Yksikköisessä

Yksikköisessä is a fictional municipality appearing in Finnish-language speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing campaigns. The name combines yksikkö (unit) with the locative suffix -ssä to evoke a sense of place defined by modular units.

Located on a northern coast of a fictional archipelago, Yksikköisessä is described as a planned urban environment where residential, industrial, and administrative units are designed to be individually operable but interlinked. The governance is a unit-based municipal system with a central council and semi-autonomous districts.

In narratives, the settlement was established during a period of rapid urban reconfiguration around the 22nd century, built with modular construction and automated services. The society emphasizes efficiency, data-sharing, and standardized infrastructure while preserving local culture and neighborhood autonomy.

The economy centers on modular manufacturing, logistics hubs, and digital services. Cultural life features unit-focused communal events, architecture that emphasizes modularity, and a tradition of cooperative planning.

Yksikköisessä has appeared in several novels and role-playing game manuals. Critics discuss its use as a device for exploring questions of technocratic governance, urban resilience, and the balance between standardized systems and local identity.
