pomohol

Pomohol is a fictional island nation created as a setting for novels, films, and games. Located in the central Pacific, it combines volcanic landscapes, lush mangroves, and coral atolls. The name is used across multiple works to designate the same sovereign state.

The name Pomohol is drawn from local language roots meaning 'shore of palms.' The archipelago comprises three main islands—Aroa, Lovo, and Nari—and several islets. The capital, Port Ela, sits on Aroa; Mount Lalo is the highest peak.

Pomohol traces political life to early seafaring communities, with European contact from the 16th century. It achieved independence as a republic in the mid-20th century and subsequently developed a pluralist political system and a regional diplomacy program.

The nation operates as a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The national assembly is unicameral, with representatives elected for four-year terms. The judiciary relies on civil law balanced with customary practices.

The economy centers on sustainable fishing, eco-tourism, and small-scale agriculture. Renewable energy, especially solar and tidal power, is expanding. The currency is the Pomoholian peso, and official languages include Pomoholian and English; population is diverse and urban–rural distribution varies.

Pomoholan culture emphasizes craft, music, and festival storytelling. Popular arts include weaving, carved designs, and a coastal cuisine featuring coconut, fish, and lime. Education and media promote multilingual literacy and regional cultural exchange.
