uurimine

Uurimine is a small town and municipality in the fictional region of Veridia. Located along the Uuri River, it sits in a valley that is bordered by forests and low hills. The town serves as the administrative center of the surrounding district and has a resident population of about 3,800 people.

The area has a temperate climate with distinct seasons. The landscape combines forested hills with the river valley, supporting forestry and small-scale farming.

The first settlements date from the 14th century, and Uurimise grew as a market crossing on the river. It is governed by a municipal council elected every four years, operating under Veridia's regional framework. The town elects a mayor who represents Uurimine in regional affairs.

The economy centers on forestry, carpentry, and local services. Small manufacturing and tourism related to nature and heritage contribute to the economy. Transportation connections include a regional road network and a rail link established in the early 20th century, with a local station serving commuter and regional trains.

The town hosts an annual market festival in late summer and preserves a historic center with a wooden church and the Old Market Hall. The Uurimine Museum documents local history, while bilingual signage reflects a small minority community.

The population is predominantly Veridian-speaking, with a small minority speaking neighboring dialects. Education is provided by one primary school and a secondary school.
