Omena Nosy or Muspell Eyja, officially either the Independent State of Omena Nosy or the Independent State of Muspell Eyja, is a sovereign island nation located in southwestern Esquarium. The country's population of 600,000, one of the smallest in Esquarium, is entirely located on an island of the same name as and synonymous with Omena Nosy/Muspell Eyja, which shares maritime borders with St. Agatha's Island, a condominium of Luziyca and Vjaarland, and is part of that same archipelago of St. Agatha's Island, and Otaigh, an overseas territory of Scotia, commonly known as the Hakeran Archipelago. The majority of the country's population is concentrated in its capital and largest city, Heittflói.
The country was originally settled around 700 by Melanesians distantly related to the Mahusaynese from Qianrong, the Lasang from Lasangkua, Filawlans from Tuthina, Caithnessians, Hearachs from Scotia and the Dangyang from Mingwok, and more closely related to the Tangata and the Waimeans of St. Agatha's Island and Otaigh, respectively. Later, the area was settled by Borealian traders in the 1500s, seeking to establish control over and export the spices endemic to the island, imposing a highly racialised caste system and system of serfdom on the Omenian natives and full control by the 1600s. In the 1850s, after a series of revolts, the Borealian government decreed a gradual, compensated emancipation of serfs in exchange for granting autonomy to the Borealian settlers, though a racialised class system remained and substantial emigration from Omena Nosy to mainland Ultima Borealia led to population decline. In the 1930s, a nonviolent revolution consisting of general strikes, blockades, and protests termed the Socialist Revolution culminated in the introduction of universal suffrage in 1936.
After universal suffrage led to the Socialist Party, formed by the workers, farmers', and tenants' unions responsible for the Socialist Revolution, won the 1936 elections, it engaged in ubstantial nationalisation of major industries and agrarian reform in a still predominantly-agrarian nation. After independence in 1950, Omena Nosy underwent substantial industrialisation and urbanisation, its economy transforming from a predominantly agricultural one to one oriented around tourism and services. In the 1980s and 1990s, Omena Nosy underwent a substantial demographic shift as large numbers of Borealians migrated to the island, both ethnic Borealian retirees and so-called repatriates, ethnic Omenians who migrated to the island facing racial discrimination and gentrification in many traditional Omenian neighborhoods in Borealian cities.
Today, Omena Nosy is a developed country with low income inequality. Its citizen enjoy a high standard of living and it ranks on international metrices of healthcare and education; however, it struggles with several issues, notably a rising cost of living, an aging population, ethnic tensions, and climate change leading to sea level rise.
