alandan

Alandan is a fictional country and island nation created for use in worldbuilding and storytelling. In the imagined geography, Alandan lies in the eastern ocean, comprised of about two dozen islands with a volcanic ring and coral reefs. The archipelago has a tropical to subtropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

The political system is a constitutional republic. The capital and largest city is Lomar. The government features a bicameral legislature and an appointed judiciary. The head of state is a president, while the head of government is a prime minister.

The economy of Alandan relies on fishing, aquaculture, and tourism, with growing emphasis on sustainable development and renewable energy. Ports facilitate trade, and there is a modest manufacturing sector focused on shipbuilding and crafts.

The official language is Alandan, a language isolate with influences from neighboring tongues; many residents are bilingual with surrounding languages. The writing system uses a Latin-based alphabet.

The population is diverse, estimated around 2.5 million, with urban concentrations in coastal districts and a network of smaller rural communities. Education and healthcare are administered by public institutions.

History: The archipelago was settled in several waves during the early medieval era, united under a single polity in the late 17th century, and achieved decolonization in the 19th century within its setting. In modern times, Alandan engages in regional diplomacy and regional organizations.
