mykiö

Mykiä is a fictional municipality located on a rocky Nordic-inspired coastline. In the imagined setting, it comprises several small islets linked by causeways, with rugged shorelines, spruce forests, and inland meadows. The local economy has traditionally depended on fishing and fish processing, with growing emphasis on tourism and services.

The earliest records in the fictional archives place the community in the 14th century as seasonal fishermen's camps. A parish and weekly market arose in the following centuries, and boatbuilding became a major craft in the 19th century. In the late 20th century, administrative reforms unified nearby villages into a single municipality.

Mykiä is governed by an elected municipal council and a mayor. It belongs to a regional district but maintains local autonomy over planning, education, and social services. The resident population is small, roughly a few thousand, with a sizable share of seasonal residents during tourism months.

The town center features a historic harbor, a wooden church dating to the 18th century, and a small maritime museum. Surrounding areas include a protected coastline, a nature reserve, and forested hills used for hiking and berry-picking. An annual midsummer festival is a central local tradition.

Access is by coastal road and ferry services to the mainland. The climate is temperate with windy summers and cold winters, shaping the town's architecture and outdoor culture.
