nelinurku

Nelinurku is a fictional municipality used in Nordic-inspired fiction and role-playing settings to illustrate a small regional town. It is depicted as the administrative center of a rural district in the northern reaches of the imagined country of Valoria.

Located in a river valley along the Nelin River, the town combines a historic compact core with surrounding residential areas and farmland. The landscape is forested with a temperate climate.

Earliest references date to medieval times as a market town. It grew with timber and metalworking and gained a railway link in the late 19th century; it was incorporated as a municipality in the early 20th century in many fictional timelines.

Today the economy blends public administration, education, healthcare, and light manufacturing. Cultural life centers on the town hall, a cultural park, libraries, and an annual midsummer festival.

Nelinurku is governed by an elected council and a mayor. Public services include a regional hospital and a secondary school. It is connected by a regional rail line and a highway.
