Hello there, my friends.

You now stand at the edge of a forested dream; A living republic called Veridanya, where no kings rule, no borders divide, and the Earth is our oldest council member. We are the Free People, and our home is nestled along miles of the Pacific Coast's coastal wilds where the cedars whisper, the waters cleanse, and every sunrise begins in freedom.

We are not built on conquest, but on compassion; Not on capital, but on care. Ours is a People’s Commune, guided by the Circle of Keepers, where decisions are made not from thrones, but from circles; By neighbors, not rulers. Our society is flat by design, constantly rotating and evolving, rooted in green anarchism, libertarian communism, and the simple belief that life thrives best when shared.

Here, land is held in trust, not owned. Housing is a right, not a debt. Energy is renewable, education is lifelong, and justice is restorative. We don’t have police or prisons; We have Hearthwardens and Root Councils, who meet harm with healing, not punishment. Our economic system, the Open Credit System, is a mutual reflection of what we give and need, not what we hoard.

We are artists, scientists, farmers, and wanderers. We live in treetop communes, garden hamlets, and floating villages. We speak many languages, celebrate many paths, and hold no official faith; Only mutual respect and the rhythm of the Earth.

Veridanya was born not in war, but in refusal. In the 1930s, we chose to walk away from the broken promises of empire. We built something new; Not perfect, but profoundly alive.

We invite you not to follow, but to imagine. To remember that another world isn’t just possible; It’s already growing.

What if we chose care instead of control?
Welcome to Veridanya.

History: The story of Veridanya begins not with conquest, but with quiet defiance; A refusal to repeat the mistakes of empires and ideologies that promised freedom but delivered only new chains. In the chaotic aftermath of the Russian Revolution, as the early 20th century was swallowed by world wars and rising totalitarian regimes, a different seed took root on the misty coastlines of western Oregon.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Western America was already a hotbed of timber labor unrest, Indigenous resistance, ecological awareness, and radical political thought. Among these rising movements, a coalition began to form: Pacifists and poets, disillusioned workers, forest-dwelling anarchists, and refugees of failed revolutions. Many were descendants of Russians and Eastern Europeans who had fled both the Czars and Stalin’s new regime. Others were Indigenous organizers and settler allies determined to prevent another cycle of land theft and exploitation.

Their dream was neither capitalist nor authoritarian socialist; It was something older, wilder, and more humane. Inspired by the unfulfilled promise of Marx’s original vision, but shaped by ecological realism and communal ethics, they sought to build a new society grounded in three sacred principles: no kings, no borders, only forest.

In 1934, following decades of underground organizing, land occupations, worker walkouts, and mutual aid networks, the coalition peacefully seceded from the United States. There was no bloodshed, only a mass withdrawal of participation from the systems of power. Farms collectivized themselves. Postal workers redirected mail to local councils. Soldiers laid down arms and joined citizen assemblies. This was the birth of The Great Veridanyan Commune.

The early years were difficult. Infrastructure had to be rebuilt from the soil up. Outsiders dismissed the project as naive or doomed. But the people endured, constructing forest communes, designing rotating democratic committee circles, and establishing the Circle of Keepers to steward public decision-making without having a centralized authority. From the beginning, Veridanya emphasized horizontal governance, ecological symbiosis, and voluntary expertise; Laying the groundwork for its Tier System, which distributes responsibility based on skill, not status.

Through the 1940s and 1950s, while much of the world rebuilt after war, Veridanya quietly thrived. Its innovations in permaculture, renewable energy, and restorative justice began drawing global attention. By the 1970s, its open credit currency system, known informally as “credit circles”, had stabilized internal resource flow and enabled limited, ethical international trade.

The Cold War era brought tension. U.S. intelligence agencies viewed Veridanya as a “rogue ideological experiment,” while Soviet observers saw it as a dangerous deviation from Marxist orthodoxy. Yet attempts at interference failed. The Commune remained strictly non-expansionist, fiercely pacifist, and deeply networked with like-minded global communities.

In the 1980s, Veridanya formalized its open-door policy for refugees of political repression, environmental collapse, and statelessness; Welcoming those who shared its values of mutual aid, ecological stewardship, and radical democracy. The Spiral Institute for Ecological Sciences was founded shortly after, becoming a world leader in sustainable technology and interdisciplinary education.

Today, Veridanya is a beacon for those seeking another way. It is not perfect, no society is, but it is honest in its imperfection, constantly evolving through dialogue and consent. Its history is not a monument to a single revolution, but an ongoing story of land reclaimed, futures reimagined, and a people who chose care over control.

Veridanya endures; Not because it conquered, but because it listened.
Geography
Continent: North America
Land Area: 2,414.01 sq. km
Terrain: Veridanya is not carved into the earth; It grows from it.

Spanning 1,500 square miles along Oregon’s emerald coast, the Free People’s Commune of Veridanya is a land shaped as much by ecology as by ideology. Its terrain is a mosaic of mist-draped old-growth forests, rugged coastal cliffs, meandering rivers, and fertile inland valleys; All coexisting in dynamic harmony. The land is not just a backdrop to life here; It is an active participant in every civic, cultural, and spiritual act.

The western border meets the Pacific Ocean with towering basalt cliffs, tidal flats, and driftwood-strewn beaches where cold waves crash under gray skies. Offshore, floating eco-harbors serve as both ports and oceanic research centers, anchored by kelp farms, tide-powered turbines, and stilted garden homes that sway with the tide. These floating districts, like Seafolk’s Landing and Waveward Reach, are known for their marine stewardship, aquaculture, and open-sky forums.

Inland, the land rises into the Greenward Spine, a series of forested hills and low mountains that stretch like a backbone through the commune. This region is cloaked in Douglas fir, cedar, red alder, and moss-draped hemlock, as well an enchanted canopy of green where treehouse villages hang suspended above the forest floor. The forest is sacred to Veridanyans; many live in symbiosis with it, harvesting resin, bark, fungi, and herbs without ever felling a single tree.

Numerous micro-climates exist in these wooded highlands: cool, foggy glens, sunny clearings, and wet, fern-choked hollows. Rainfall is heavy in the winter, feeding the Veilwater River, which flows east to west and provides hydroelectric energy through small, non-invasive waterwheels. The river’s delta near Rootmouth Bay is a vibrant floodplain of wetlands, migratory birds, and permaculture farming communes known collectively as The Bloomgrounds.

To the southeast, The Amber Fields roll out as golden meadows and restored prairie; Home to rotational crop systems, seed-sharing cooperatives, and windmill farms. The land here was once strip-logged and degraded, but decades of soil regeneration and native plant restoration have turned it into Veridanya’s breadbasket. Beekeeping guilds, foraging circles, and rewilding projects thrive here, all under the careful guidance of citizen-ecologists.

The northeast corner of the commune cradles Stoneveil Ridge, a highland region of volcanic rock and mist-covered caves. Rich in geothermal activity, this region is home to hot spring sanctuaries, thermal greenhouses, and research outposts. Ancient petroglyphs and Indigenous sacred sites are preserved with deep reverence, co-managed by local tribes and Veridanyan councils.

Even Veridanya’s urban zones, like Lichenhold and Gladeport, feel more like forest clearings than cities. Buildings are draped in vines, rooftops are pollinator gardens, and pathways wind organically around ancient trees. Transportation is fully green; Solar trams, bike paths, and footbridges replace roads and parking lots. Every structure is built with regenerative architecture principles: earth-stabilized walls, salvaged materials, rainwater catchments, and living roofs.

This is a nation without fences. Veridanya has no rigid borders, only eco-zones and agreed-upon bioregional thresholds. Citizens identify not just by coordinates, but by watershed, forest cluster, or communal node. It’s a land of connection; Where one might walk for days without seeing a fence, yet never feel lost.

In Veridanya, terrain is not tamed. It is tended. Every hill, grove, and shoreline is a partner in the great democratic experiment, and every citizen, from mountain hamlet to tide-swept dock, lives with the sacred knowledge: the land is not ours to own. It is ours to love.
Highest Peak: Mount Caelwyn, 1,891 meters
Lowest Valley: Lowmist Hollow, 2 meters
Climate: To live in Veridanya is to live with the weather, not in spite of it.

The Commune spans a wild stretch of Oregon’s coastal bioregion, and its climate is as alive and varied as its people. Temperate and oceanic, Veridanya’s weather is defined by dramatic seasonal rhythms, coastal moisture, and the slow, breathing dance of fog, sun, rain, and wind.

Rain is our inheritance. For nearly eight months of the year, especially from October to May, the skies are cloaked in shifting gray, and steady rains fall like whispers on the mossy earth. These are not violent storms, but gentle, nourishing downpours that soak into the roots of the forest, feed the salmon-bearing rivers, and fill the rooftop cisterns and gravity-fed aqueducts of our villages. Umbrellas are rarely used. Most Veridanyans simply wear cloaks, hoods, or let the rain be what it is: a reminder of our place in the cycle.

Winter in Veridanya is not harsh, but deeply wet. Temperatures hover between 35°F and 50°F (1.5°C to 10°C), and snow is rare except at the highest ridges of Stoneveil and the Greenward Spine. Instead, a soft chill seeps in with the fog. Hearths crackle, greenhouses glow with geothermal warmth, and community centers host candlelit forums and storytelling festivals. This is the season of introspection, craft, and root vegetables.

As winter yields to early spring, a near-mystical event occurs: the Mosswake, when the entire forest seems to reawaken at once. Ferns uncurl, salamanders stir, and the world turns green overnight. By April, the rain warms and wildflowers return. Mist still rolls in with the dawn, but the air is fragrant with cedar, soil, and blooming groundcover.

Summer is the commune’s season of celebration. Days stretch long, golden, and dry, but never scorching. Temperatures range from 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C), moderated by cool ocean breezes and shaded forest canopies. Rainfall tapers off, allowing for open-air festivals, sun-fed harvests, and seaside gatherings. The coast remains comfortably cool, while inland valleys bask in warmth perfect for growing stone fruits, tomatoes, and grains. Fire risk is low, thanks to extensive ecological land management, rotational burning, and moisture-retaining plant systems.

Even at its warmest, Veridanya does not chase endless summer. The people mark the solstice not with conquest over the sun, but gratitude for its brief brilliance. The return of Autumn is met with joy and reverence. Leaves turn gold and crimson. Winds rise through the trees. The Great Rewild, a collective season of foraging, harvesting, and land-tending, begins in full. As rain returns, the commune slows, stews are shared, mushrooms harvested, and the earth is blanketed once again.

Across Veridanya, microclimates create subtle variations. Fog hangs longer in forest valleys. Coastal platforms feel the salt-bright wind. High-elevation hamlets in Stoneveil receive more snow and alpine chill, while the Amber Fields bask in slightly warmer, breezier currents rolling up from the sea. Every community is built with these nuances in mind; Structures curved to redirect wind, gardens shaded or opened depending on native species, and water systems designed to collect, channel, and recycle.

Veridanya’s climate is not a resource to exploit, but a partner to understand. It shapes our calendars, our holidays, our architecture, and our rhythms of life. The weather is not something we fight against, but something we dance with.

Here, the climate is not a challenge, it is the breath of the land. And we, its people, live in its rhythm.

Economy
Description: The economy of Veridanya is as unique and living as the land itself. Rooted firmly in principles of mutual aid, ecological stewardship, and communal ownership, Veridanya’s economic system rejects traditional capitalism’s drive for profit and competition. Instead, it embraces a mutual and open credit currency system, cooperative production, and resource sharing designed to maximize collective well-being and sustainability.

At the heart of Veridanya’s economy is the open credit system, affectionately known as “circles.” This system doesn't utilize the national currency to accumulate wealth or speculation, but a ledger that tracks contributions and needs within the community. Citizens and collectives earn credits by producing goods, services, or labor that benefit others and spend credits to meet their needs, all managed transparently through communal consensus software overseen by the Circle of Keepers.

The national animal symbol for the currency is the white dove, representing peace, trust, and shared prosperity. Unlike fiat currencies, circles cannot be hoarded or manipulated for private gain; they flow freely within the ecosystem, balancing supply and demand according to communal priorities and ecological limits.

Veridanya’s industries are entirely worker-owned and operated cooperatives. There is no private ownership of factories, farms, or workshops. Instead, each collective specializes in areas aligned with ecological health and social necessity, such as permaculture farming, renewable energy, ecological computing, artisanal crafts, medicine, education, and ecological architecture.

Agriculture: Small-scale, regenerative permaculture farms dot the landscape, supplying diverse, organic crops and livestock products. Aquaponic and tidal farms provide sustainable seafood. Food cooperatives organize equitable distribution, preventing waste.

Renewable Energy: Solar arrays, wind turbines, and micro-hydro installations supply abundant green energy. Energy cooperatives maintain and innovate clean power systems, sharing surplus energy credits within and beyond Veridanya.

Technology: The Spiral Institute for Ecological Sciences spearheads cutting-edge ecological computing, biotechnologies, and open-source innovations. Veridanyan engineers focus on durability, repairability, and ecological integration, avoiding planned obsolescence.

Craft and Artisanship: Artisans and makers thrive in vibrant craft guilds producing everything from tools and clothing to musical instruments and ecological art. These crafts are celebrated culturally and circulated widely, blending tradition and innovation.

Healthcare and Education: Both sectors are collectively managed, free to all, and emphasize holistic and ecological well-being. Healthcare collectives develop restorative medicine practices integrating bioengineering and traditional knowledge. Education is peer-led and lifelong, supported by public archives and mentors.

Markets in Veridanya are not spaces of profit-seeking but transparent exchanges of resources and skills. Barter, mutual credit transactions, and time-banking are common, with sophisticated digital platforms ensuring transparency and accountability. These markets operate with ecological constraints in mind, ensuring production never exceeds the regenerative capacity of the land.

International trade is limited and carefully regulated. Veridanya exports surplus ecological technologies, crafts, and renewable energy innovations while importing rare materials and cultural goods that cannot be sourced locally. All trade partners are chosen based on ethical and ecological alignment.

Labor in Veridanya is both voluntary and organized through a meritocratic Tier System; Not to create class divisions but to distribute responsibilities according to skills and experience. Everyone begins equal and remains so in dignity; tiers help coordinate complex tasks such as medicine, engineering, and governance.

Work hours are flexible and self-managed, with emphasis on balancing individual rhythms and communal needs. Rest, creativity, and social time are valued equally with productive labor. Seasonal and project-based cycles influence work patterns, respecting natural cycles and personal well-being.

Innovation flourishes in Veridanya, unburdened by patent monopolies or commercial secrecy. Ideas and inventions are shared openly within a Commons of Knowledge, with creators recognized and supported but not restricted by exclusive ownership. This encourages collaboration across communities and disciplines, particularly in ecological technology, renewable energy, and restorative medicine.

Veridanya’s economy is designed as a closed-loop, circular system. Waste is minimized through composting, recycling, and upcycling. Materials flow back into production cycles or return safely to the earth. Consumerism is replaced by durability, repair, and sharing; Tools, clothing, and devices are built to last and maintained by communal repair hubs.

Despite its many strengths, Veridanya’s economy faces challenges common to post-industrial, eco-communal societies: managing growth without ecological overshoot, adapting to climate fluctuations, balancing individual autonomy with collective need, and maintaining transparency in increasingly complex networks.

The Circle of Keepers, rotating working circles, and community councils continuously adapt policies and practices through direct democratic processes and experimental pilot programs. Emphasis is placed on learning, feedback, and ecological ethics as guiding principles.

In summary, the Free People’s Commune of Veridanya’s economy is a living ecosystem itself; A dynamic interplay of trust, shared responsibility, and ecological respect. It is neither capitalist nor state-socialist but a third path blending technology, cooperation, and nature to create a society where prosperity means thriving together with the land, rather than over it.
