amidas

Amidas is a fictional sovereign state commonly used in political science case studies, world-building exercises, and speculative fiction. It is presented as a mid-sized republic on the central plateau of the continent of Veridia, bordered by Loras to the west, Kyra to the north, and the Sea of Neres to the south and east.

The capital is Aurelia, and the largest urban area is Haldenport. The terrain is varied, with highlands in the north and fertile plains elsewhere; the climate is temperate.

Amidas is a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The unicameral legislature has about 120 members, with elections every four years. The constitution guarantees civil liberties, an independent judiciary, and a charter of rights.

Economy is diversified, with services accounting for a majority of GDP. Key sectors include agriculture (olives, grapes, wheat), manufacturing (textiles, machinery), and tourism. The state maintains a social welfare program and a regulatory framework for business, with trade relationships with neighboring states and international partners.

History and culture: Amidas traces its roots to a medieval confederation and achieved broader independence in the 19th century under a constitutional settlement. The official language is Amidan, with Veridian widely spoken as a second language; religion is pluralistic, and education is public and universal. Public institutions emphasize transparency, civil participation, and regional development.
