koostavia

Koostavia is a sovereign state in the fictional world of Veridia. It is a constitutional republic with a president and a prime minister, and a bicameral legislature. The country is known for its diverse landscapes and stable governance.

Koostavia covers about 110,000 square kilometers and lies in the northern part of Veridia. It borders unnamed neighbors. The terrain includes the Hoare Highlands, central river plains, and southern lake districts. The climate is temperate, with cooler highlands and milder lowlands.

Human settlement dates to the late Neolithic period. The Koostan Dynasty emerged in the 14th century, forging a loose federation. In the 19th century, the state centralized its administration; a republican constitution was adopted in 1990 after a peaceful transition.

The government consists of a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The legislature comprises two chambers: the Senate and the Assembly. Judicial review is provided by the Supreme Court.

Koostavia has a diversified economy. Key sectors include agriculture (grain, dairy), manufacturing (textiles, machinery), and services. The country emphasizes renewable energy, with hydroelectric power from the three major rivers and growing wind farms. Trade links with neighboring states support a modest export sector.

As of the latest estimates, Koostavia has about 6.2 million residents. The official language is Koostavian; several minority languages are spoken. The population is ethnically diverse, with traditions in music, literature, and craft. Education and healthcare are publicly funded; literacy is high.
