Insulamia (French: Insulamie), officially the Commonwealth of Insulamia (French: le Commonwealth d'Insulamie), is an island nation in the North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of the island of Insulamia and several islands off it's coast, including Newmere, 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 Québec in Canada, and 200 km (120 mi) south of the island of Greenland. The country has a population of 20.7 million (as of 2021), with most living in metropolitan areas such as the capital, Châteaublanc. Other major metropolitan areas include Éteaux, Franclinton, Northport, and Coratuckie.
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 the island around the 13th century. Norse expeditions to the island in the 10th century were abandoned due to extreme weather events, which they believed to be a bad omen. The first successful European expedition to the island came from France in 1496, and the first European colony on the island was also French, having been established in 1500 on the eastern coast of Insulamia. In 1501, Great Britain colonized the western coast of Insulamia, unaware of the French settlement already on the island. In 1512, both colonies encountered the other and engaged in a brief conflict for control of the island in what is known as the Insulamian Civil War or the Northisland War. In 1777, the two colonial powers in control of the island met in the Châteaublanc Conference and unified their colonies into one, under the name Insulamia. On 6 November 1888, now the Insulamia's national day, the colony federated and formed the Commonwealth of Insulamia. In 2000, under the leadership of the People's Party, Insulamia converted from a market economy to a market socialist economy, becoming one of few nations to adopt such a system.
Insulamia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth realm, with the monarch, represented by the governor-general, as the official head of state. The head of government is the prime minister, and the two houses of Insulamia's bicameral system are the House of Commons and the House of Representatives.
