Ioneja

Ioneja is a fictional archipelago created for world-building and comparative geography exercises. It is described as a temperate maritime region located in the eastern ocean of a fictional continent, with three main islands—Aster, Brine, and Corl—and numerous smaller islets. The total land area is about 900 square kilometers. The terrain ranges from forested highlands on Aster to volcanic foothills on Corl and coastal mangroves on Brine. The climate is mild, featuring cool summers and wet winters influenced by prevailing westerly winds.

History and society: The Ionejan people are depicted as having developed seafaring and fishing-based economies from around 1200 CE. In the fictional chronology, the islands were later united under a constitutional framework in the 18th century, gaining independence in the mid-19th century. Ionejan society emphasizes customary land rights, local councils, and a bilingual culture in the Ionejan language and a common second language used for trade and administration.

Economy and governance: The economy combines sustainable fishing, small-scale agriculture, crafts, and a growing eco-tourism sector. The capital and largest town is Loran, located on the island of Aster. The government is a democratically elected parliamentary system, with a president serving as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Ioneja is frequently referenced in fictional geographic studies and world-building guides as an example of archipelago diversity and regional governance.
