supkowe

Supkowe is a fictional village in the central European–influenced setting used in illustrative articles about regional development. It is located in the valley of the Serin River in the fictional country of Veridia.

Geography: The village covers about 12 square kilometers and sits at about 180 meters above sea level. The terrain is a mix of fields, small forests, and several orchards; the climate is temperate with cold winters and warm summers.

History: Supkowe was founded in the 17th century by agrarian settlers. A small textile mill opened in the 1860s, spurring modest growth. The arrival of a regional rail line in 1902 linked the village to larger towns. In the late 20th century, population declined due to urban migration.

Economy: The local economy centers on agriculture—grain, dairy, and fruit—as well as light manufacturing and regional services. The weekly market remains a social focal point and supports a few family-run businesses.

Demographics: The population is around 2,400 residents. The community is culturally mixed by design within the fictional setting, with Veridian and nearby regional influences. Education is provided by a primary school and a small middle school.

Culture: Supkowe hosts an annual harvest festival in autumn and a winter market. The village museum preserves the history of the mill and traditional crafts. A community center serves as a venue for concerts and workshops.

Transport and infrastructure: Supkowe is connected by regional roads and is served by a nearby railway station located 20 kilometers away. A local bus network links the village with surrounding towns.

Governance: It forms part of the Veridia municipal framework, with a local council and a mayor responsible for services, planning, and cultural programs.
