oskada

Oskada is a fictional city-state and regional capital frequently depicted in contemporary speculative fiction as a major economic and cultural hub in the northern archipelago of Nordis. The city first appeared in a series of novels and has since been adapted in video games and comics, with its borders and institutions varying by author. In most depictions, Oskada blends traditional maritime heritage with modern urbanism.

Geographically, Oskada sits on a sheltered harbor at the mouth of the Osk River, with a temperate maritime climate. The city integrates historic quarters with modern districts, and its waterfront is lined with warehouses, markets, and research campuses. Population figures are fictional and vary by work, but most sources place the city at roughly 1.2 million residents in its metropolitan area.

Economy is diversified, with strengths in logistics, light manufacturing, information services, and education. The government is portrayed as a constitutional city-state led by a mayor and a city council, with regional matters handled by a separate council. Public life centers on the harborfront, a major university, and an annual arts festival, with ongoing emphasis on green energy and transit.
