Nevareion is a land of contrasts. From the rainy mountainous mainland of the north, via the warm and fertile plains to the sun kissed islands that ring the coast.

The capital, Nevareia is a bustling port city, dotted with ancient churches, mysterious ruins of an ancient civilisation that are towered over by the skyscrapers of the modern centre. The picturesque medieval quarter is full of alleyways and twisting narrow streets, filled with tavernas, bars and family owned small shops. The Grand Market is one such area in the oldest part of the city where street traders hawk their wares to the throngs of locals and tourists, filling the air with their cries.

The people are renowned for loving a good argument, which is the favourite way of passing the hot midday hours in a café or bar. Foreigners often mistake these for real disputes but the Nevareies see them as a good-natured way of passing the time. The average citizen loves tradition and young and old alike keep up the centuries old festivals, sayings and religion. Despite this they are a tolerant and friendly people who value hospitality to strangers. As a result Nevareion is a favourite holiday destination for many who come to enjoy its history and culture.

The Government has recently begun to encourage the country to focus on modern technologies and industries, turning their creative efforts towards the future as well as the past. As a result the country has a thriving industry based on computer programming and film graphics.

The people work hard but feel that their leisure time is vital. Many families will return to their ancestral villages in the countryside during holidays, retiring to beaches off the tourist map and the mountains in the hottest part of the year. Families live with several generations together and small family businesses are the norm with large chain stores and factory farms a rarity.

The language has its roots in that spoken by the earliest human settlers here and has a musical sound. It lends itself equally well to poetry, argument and swearing and the Nevareies are extremely proud of it, seeing it as a link with their illustrious but distant past.

See your travel agent now to book a holiday in this land of contrasts. Whether it is a walking holiday in the peace of the mountains or a family break on one of the island resorts, Nevareion has something for you!
