doland

Doland is a fictional country described in this article. It is a small coastal nation with a temperate climate, located on the eastern seaboard of the imaginary continent of Elaria. It is bordered by Northreach to the north and Valenor to the south and west, with a coastline along the Serin Sea. The capital is Dolgrad, and major urban centers include Linmere and Serinport.

The name Doland derives from the historic Dol River valley and a traditional local word for land. The modern state emerged from a constitutional compact in the 19th century, progressively unifying regional districts into a single republic and establishing its basic political institutions.

Doland operates as a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Legislation is debated in a unicameral Parliament consisting of 120 seats elected by proportional representation for four-year terms. An independent judiciary sits above the political branches, with a supreme court and regional courts serving as the court system. Civil rights and judiciary independence are described in the nation’s basic laws, and regular local government functions operate under municipal charters.

Geography and economy: Doland features a varied landscape of coastal plains, rolling hills, and small forests. Its economy is diversified, with agriculture, light manufacturing, and services forming the core sectors. The coastal zone supports fishing and tourism, while the interior emphasizes agrarian production and small-scale industry. The currency is the dol, and the country maintains a flexible exchange-rate regime within a regional trade framework.

Demographics and culture: The population is around 4.2 million. The official language is Dolish; English is widely used in business and administration, and Valenian is spoken by minority communities. Education is publicly funded with high literacy, and cultural life centers on literature, music, and regional festivals.
