dziea

Dziea is a fictional island nation created for world-building and speculative fiction. It is imagined as a maritime republic in an archipelago within a temperate southern sea, consisting of five main islands and numerous smaller islets. The terrain ranges from rocky coastlines and fjord-like inlets to volcanic highlands; the climate is mild with regular rainfall. The capital and largest city is Lyrad, located on the central island of Nyra. The population is about 2.2 million. The official language is Dziean, with regional dialects and immigrant languages common in coastal cities.

Dziea has a constitutional republic with a multi-party system. The president is the ceremonial head of state; the prime minister heads the cabinet. Legislation is enacted by a unicameral Assembly. The judiciary is independent, with a supreme court and regional courts. The economy emphasizes sustainability: fisheries, shipbuilding, renewable energy, and crafts. The government supports tidal and offshore wind projects and maintains a social welfare network. The currency is the Dziean Credit.

History and society: Dziea’s lore includes a founding myth and a merchant-led unification process in the 15th century; modern institutions were established in the early 20th century, and the constitution was enacted in 1937. Since the late 20th century, Dziea has pursued green technology and regional diplomacy, joining a council that coordinates environmental and economic policy.

Culture: Dziean culture values craftsmanship, maritime heritage, and education. Traditional music features stringed instruments and coastal rhythms; cuisine emphasizes seafood and herbs. Notable institutions include the Nyra Maritime Academy and the Arboretum of Tallis.
