Despite not being in common usage, the Latin term was used as a basis for [[Richard Thomas]]' name proposal in the Whitecastle Conference, which the parties elected as the official name for the unified nation.

  1. ^ The official and most common French-language name for Insulamia, literally "Insulamian Republic". Commonwealth d'Insulamie (literally "Commonwealth of Insulamia") and République d'Insulamie (literally "Republic of Insulamia") are rarer alternate terms for the country in French.

Insulamia (French: Insulamie), officially the Commonwealth of Insulamia (French: République Insulamienne, lit. 'Insulamian Republic'), is an island nation in the North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of the island of Insulamia and several islands off its coast, covering a total area of 162,393 square kilometres (62,700 sq mi). Insulamia is about 2000 km (1200 mi) west of the United Kingdom, 1000 km (600 mi) east of Newfoundland in Canada, and 200 km (120 mi) south of the island of Greenland. As of 2020, the country had a population of 20.7 million, with most living in cities such as the capital, Whitecastle. Other major cities include Éteaux, Cabot, Anningdon, and Dorchester.

Although there is evidence of sporadic human settlement in Insulamia dating back to at least 2000 BC, the island was not inhabited for extended periods until Inuit peoples migrated to it in the 13th century. Norse expeditions to Insulamia in the 10th century were abandoned due to extreme weather events, and the first successful European expedition to the island came from England in 1498. England, and later their rival France, would commence trading with Indigenous peoples for precious metals and eventually established permanent colonial settlements on the island. In 1763, following the Seven Years' War, France ceded its Auria colony to the British Empire along with its other holdings in North America. Revolutionares would then fight British rule in Auria, starting the Aurian Revolutionary War in 1784. The conflict concluded with the 1792 Treaty of Whitecastle, establishing the united and independent nation of Insulamia in its current form. In 2000, Insulamia began the process of converting from a market economy to a form of market socialist economy, becoming one of few nations to adopt such a system.

Insulamia is a federal parliamentary democracy and a Commonwealth realm, with the president and the monarch as the co-official heads of state. The head of government is the primeminister, and the two houses of Insulamia's bicameral system are the House of Commons and the House of Representatives. Insulamia is officially federally bilingual, with two English-speaking provinces, one French-speaking province, and one bilingual province. Because of its relatively open immigration policies and high living standards, Insulamia has seen high levels of immigration over the last century, contributing to its ethnically diverse and multicultural demographics.

Insulamia is a highly developed country, ranking among the highest internationally in measurements such as healthcare, education, per-capita income, and civil liberties. Insulamia ranks 4th highest in the Human Development Index and ranks among the highest in income equality in the world. This is largely attributed to Insulamia's market socialist economy, a result of the New Millennium Economic Policies implemented in 2000. Insulamia is part of many international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Commonwealth of Nations, the Whitecastle Group, the Arctic Council, and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Prior to 2000, it was also a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), but its membership was retracted after it stopped practising free-market policies. Insulamia was also a founding member of NATO, but left the organisation in 2004.

Name and etymology

Main article: Names of Insulamia

The name Insulamia (pronounced /ɛnsjəˈleɪmijə/, sometimes /ɛnʃəˈleɪmijə/, in Insulamian English; /ɪnsjəˈleɪmijə/ or /ɪnʃəˈleɪmijə/ in British English and American English; French: Insulamie, pronounced /'ɛ̃nsyla'mi/) is derived from the Latin word Insulam, meaning island. Despite not being in common usage, the Latin term was used as a basis for Olivier Flament's name proposal in the Whitecastle Conference, which the parties elected as the official name for the unified nation.

In English, the title placed before Insulamia's name is "Commonwealth", similar to other countries in the Commonwealth, such as the Commonwealth of Australia or the Commonwealth of Dominica. However, its French-language title is République ("republic"). This distinction is attributed to the general difference in ideals of English and French Insulamia; English Insulamia had stronger ties with the Commonwealth and the United Kingdom, whilst French Insulamia had a stronger connection with republicanism. These names were officially recognised in the Constitution of Insulamia, which sought to have constitutional equality between the two sides. In other languages, it is more common to see "Commonwealth" and its variations used, although there are exceptions in the languages of French-influenced countries and several mainland European countries.

Pre-colonisation

Prior to the 13th century, the island was inhabited periodically mostly by Paleo-Eskimo peoples from Greenland. Archaeological findings in southern Insulamia date the earliest evidence of humans in Insulamia to 2000 BC. It is widely accepted that these peoples inhabited the island until the 7th century, when it is believed that a volcanic eruption killed off most living on the island and made it uninhabitable for several years.

In the 10th century, Viking explorers discovered Insulamia during their exploration of North America. According to the Icelandic sagas, colonisation the island were repeatedly thwarted by extreme weather events and natural disasters in the region, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Historians and scholars doubt the validity of these claims, as much of the weather described is highly unusual in the region. Nevertheless, the Vikings abandoned their attempts at colonising Insulamia, allegedly because they believed the extreme weather to be a warning from their gods.
