Visrodin, formally the Kingdom of Visrodin (Visrodin: Кралство Висродин romanized: Kralstvo Visrodin), is a country in eastern central Cordilia. Its territory consists of the Visrodin peninsula, as well as numerous islands off the peninsula's coast, and the separated coastal territory of Samakov. Visrodin borders the UPRAN state of Rhayna to the north, Hystaiga to the east, Huawan to the east of the separated territory of Samakov, and the Cordilian Sea to the west. The Kingdom is characterized by a hilly and mountainous landscape, with several climates throughout the territory: arid on the north of the country, subtropical and temperate on the coastal regions and the islands, and mountainous climate near the country's tallest mountains, among other localized microclimates facilitated due to the rugged terrain. The country has a total area of 104,117 km2 and a population of 13,589,283 (as of 2023). The northern city of Sarnitsa is the country's capital, and its largest city is Krum. Other major cities include Ardino, Svetlozar, Petliya and Kervel.

Visrodin is a unitary semi-consitutional parliamentary monarchy. The Knyaz (King) retains substantial power, and the ruling royal family maintains large influence over the national politics, as well as the economy, through the insitutionalization of several crown-owned monopolies, mostly focused on gold mining and oil extraction. Legislative power in the Kingdom is shared between the House of Delegates, which is the lower house, elected by the Visrodin population, and the House of Barons, the upper house whose members are directly appointed by the Knyaz or by request of other Barons. The capability of the House of Barons, as well as the Knyaz, to veto unpopular legislation among the Visrodin upper-class has kept Visrodin legislature thoroughly conservative. Such system was set in place after the Monarchical forces' victory in the 1923, after limited concessions by Knyaz Boris VI, which put an end to absolute power on hands of the Knyaz. The current Knyaz is Viktor III Rucheyski, who has been ruling Visrodin since 1996 after his father, Knyaz Varban II passed away.
