Õisia

Õisia is a fictional nation and archipelago used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding. It is most commonly depicted as an island chain in the northern seas, with a strong maritime culture and a history shaped by seafaring trade and environmental challenges.

The archipelago consists of dozens of rocky islands, many with fjords, forests of conifers, and sheltered harbors. The climate is temperate and variable, with foggy springs and cool summers.

In most portrayals, Õisia is a constitutional or parliamentary polity with a high degree of local autonomy among the islands. The economy centers on fishing, shipbuilding, and renewable energy, complemented by growing tourism and artisanal crafts.

The society is described as coastal and tightly knit, with maritime folklore, choral singing, and a tradition of craftsmanship. The official language varies by work, but a distinct Õian language or dialect is often depicted, influenced by Nordic and Baltic languages.

Fictional histories commonly include periods of exploration, regional alliances, and conflicts over fishing rights or environmental policy. The setting is used to explore themes of sovereignty, cultural resilience, and climate adaptation.
