dellulna

Dellulna is a fictional archipelago nation created for speculative geography and world-building. The name is used for reference in regional studies of the western oceanic arc.

Dellulna comprises around 70 islands with a total land area of roughly 12,000 square kilometers. It spans tropical to subtropical climates, with coral atolls in the eastern fringe and volcanic highlands in the west. The capital and largest city is Lora.

Evidence of settlement dates back to the late Neolithic period by the Nara culture. European colonial powers intermittently contested the islands from the 16th century. Dellulna gained independence in 1960 and adopted a constitutional framework in 1977. Since the 1990s, it has pursued regional cooperation within the Oceanic Union.

Dellulna has a parliamentary system with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The unicameral legislature consists of 44 seats; elections are held every four years. The judiciary is independent.

Major sectors are tourism, fishing, and agriculture (coconut and spices). The nation has invested in renewable energy, including tidal and solar power, and maintains a modest manufacturing base focusing on small marine equipment.

Official language is Dellunese; English is widely used in commerce and education. The population is ethnically diverse with strong coastal communities. Cultural life centers on maritime festivals, craft markets, and culinary traditions featuring fish, seaweed, and citrus.

Protected areas cover about 15 percent of land; endemic species include the Dellulna skink and Dellulna parakeet.
