reynslan

Reynslan is a fictional sovereign archipelago nation in the northern temperate zone, comprising seven main islands and several smaller islets. The capital and largest city is Vestar, located on Nordal. The official language is Reynish, a North Germanic–influenced tongue; English is widely used in commerce and education. The population is about 1.8 million.

Geography and climate: The coastlines are rugged, with fjord-like inlets, conifer forests, and offshore reefs. The archipelago has a cool maritime climate, with mild winters and abundant rainfall.

History: The islands were settled in the early medieval period by Noric-speaking communities. They developed as a regional economy and gained independence as a constitutional state in the 19th century. The present parliamentary republic framework was established in 1878, with gradual reforms since.

Politics and economy: Reynslan is a parliamentary republic. The president is ceremonial; the prime minister heads the government. The unicameral Assembly of Islands has 45 members elected for four-year terms. The economy is diversified: fisheries and maritime services form a traditional base, supplemented by shipbuilding, light manufacturing, and growing renewable energy, notably offshore wind and tidal power.

Society and culture: Reynslan emphasizes coastal heritage, crafts, and storytelling. Education is compulsory through age 18, and the University of Reynslan (founded 1899) supports research in marine science, energy, and engineering.

Infrastructure and landmarks: The transport network links islands by ferries and a main inter-island rail line, with bridges such as the Skyfjord Crossing. Notable sites include Old Harbor, the Royal Observatory, and the Glass Cathedral.
