Tukimuksen

Tukimuksen is a town and municipality in the northern coastal region of Nordmark. It is located along a sheltered inlet on the coast, with surrounding forests and rolling hills. The municipality covers about 68 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 5,100.

The name Tukimuksen is derived from the local language, reflecting its historic role as a fishing and trading site. The terrain combines coastal shoreline with inland woodlands, giving the area a temperate maritime climate.

Tukimuksen traces its origins to the medieval period, when a small port served local fishermen. It grew through the timber trade and the expansion of coastal shipping in the 18th and 19th centuries, and later developed into a regional center for services and commerce.

Governance is by a nine-member municipal council elected for four-year terms, with a mayor as the executive. The population is predominantly Nordmarkian, with small communities of migrants from nearby regions; the main language is Nordmarkian, with some bilingual residents.

The local economy relies on fishing and seafood processing, timber and wood products, and public services. Tourism concentrates on the harbor, coastal scenery, and historic streets, supported by a marina and guest accommodations.

Landmarks include Tukimuksen Lighthouse, the Old Town Quarter, and the Maritime Museum. The town hosts an annual Tukimuksen Day festival featuring music, crafts, and parades.
