Sidene is a fictional coastal nation used in world-building and speculative fiction. It lies on the eastern shore of the continent of Aleria, with Keldara to the north and Varin to the south, and the sea to the east. The landscape features a coastal delta, inland low hills, and a central highland plateau that hosts the capital, Neris. The Port of Liria is its principal international harbor.

Sidene is a constitutional republic. A ceremonial president stands alongside a prime minister who heads government. Legislation is made by a bicameral Senate and Assembly, with an independent judiciary.

Its economy is diversified, anchored in fishing, maritime trade, and agriculture. Coastal areas support a robust fishing industry and shipping, while inland zones produce rice and olives and host light manufacturing and growing IT services.

Sidene has a long maritime heritage and a history of regional trade. Democratic reforms in the late 20th century established decentralization and civil liberties. The population is multiethnic, with roots in seafaring merchants, farmers, and artisans.
