'''Eilínótt''', officially referred to as the '''Eternal Kingdom of Night''' ({{Wpl|Icelandic language|Næturræða}}: ''Eilíft Næturríki'') is an island nation located in the northern [[Thetian Ocean]]. With a population of 351,974, it is one of the most sparsely populated nations of [[Annwynn]]. The capital and largest city, [[Sæeilítur]], is located on the northwestern portion of the island, comprising one o the nations three [[Administrative regions of Eilínótt|administrative regions]], known as ''svæðum''. Sæeilítur was first settled in 897, and is believed to be the first settlement established upon the island. In addition, the majority of the population of the nation is concentrated in both the ''Höfuðborgarsvæði'', or capital region, and the larger ''Vestursvæði'' (western region) encompassing it. There are, however, several populated settlements along the costal regions across the island, as well as some sparsely populated settlements in the island interior. | |||
Following discovery by the [[Trinovantum|Trinovantan Empire]] in 897, Trinovantan settlers established a presence on the island. In the following centuries, other Ordian peoples emigrated to Eilínótt, bringing with them ''trylle'' (i.e., slaves or serfs) of [[Temuair|Aisling]] origin. In 973, the island was formally incorporated into the Empire and remained a part of it until it achieved independence in 1804. Despite its independence from the Empire, Eilínótt shares a strong cultural heritage with Trinovantum, as well as several other Ordian nations. | |||
The economy of Eilínótt relies largely on subsistence fishing and minor agricultural efforts, though in modern times, the Eilínótti service and tourism industries have been expanded, and now consist of a significant portion of the nation's GDP. Industrialization of the fisheries and other concerns have also introduced further efficiency into the nations impressive fishing sector. In 1994, Eilínótt became a member of the [[Ordian Economic Initiative]], further diversifying the nation's economy into sectors such as finance, biotechnology, and manufacturing. Eilínótt has a market economy with relatively low taxes, often seen as a tax haven by foreign corporations. | |||
