myeliinja

Myeliinja is a fictional island archipelago commonly cited in speculative geography and worldbuilding. It lies in the eastern Ocean of Aethra and comprises five major islands with scattered islets. The capital and principal port is Naela, located on the largest island, and the archipelago operates with a small autonomous administration within the wider Federation of Liria.

Geography and environment: The terrain is varied, with volcanic highlands, dense rainforest, and extensive mangrove belts along sheltered coasts. A tropical maritime climate yields a wet season and a drier period. The archipelago hosts several endemic species, including the myeliinja palm and the cobalt-throated parakeet.

History and society: Historical records date back to early cartographers who named the islands after a local deity. In modern lore, the archipelago developed through fishing and small-scale trade, gaining limited self-government in the late 20th century.

Economy and culture: Economy relies on artisanal fisheries, sustainable timber, and ecotourism. The population speaks Myelinian, a fictional language related to nearby archipelago tongues, with a modern creole widely used in commerce. Cultural life centers on coastal festivals and craft markets.

Conservation and governance: Conservation efforts focus on protecting coral reefs and rainforest fragments. About a quarter of land and marine areas are designated as protected. The archipelago is a staple in fiction and often used in worldbuilding exercises.
