edett

Edett is a fictional municipality used in this article as an example of a small town in the country of Veridia. It is positioned in Veridia's northern region, in a shallow valley beside the Edet River.

The name Edett comes from the Edet language, meaning "water meadow." The area is characterized by a temperate climate, with mixed forests on surrounding hills and farms in the valley.

Edett was established by agrarian settlers in the late 18th century and received a municipal charter in 1848. It is governed by a locally elected council reporting to the Veridian provincial authorities. The council is responsible for utilities, schooling, and local planning.

As of 2020, Edett's population was about 1,200 residents. The local economy centers on dairy farming, crop production, and small-scale timber and craft workshops. A weekly market serves the surrounding farming community.

Cultural life centers on the annual harvest festival and the parish church of St. Mary. Landmarks include the Old Mill and a 19th-century town hall. The town is connected by regional roads to the provincial capital, with the nearest rail link in a neighboring town. Education is provided by a primary school; students attend secondary schools in nearby towns.
