Norfolk

Norfolk (Gaeguiq: Wijlmac; Injitikst: Abamaijk) is a rural province in western Commolacia. It is one of two provinces to consist solely of a landmass not connected to the Commolacian landmass, the other being Prieska Island. Norfolk consists of two islands, aptly named West Norfolk and East Norfolk respectively. With a population of 2,039,018, most of which live in Sanctuary Point, the province's capital, Norfolk is the ninth-largest province in terms of population. The current provincial governor is, as of 2022, Florence Schwartz.
Norfolk was originally settled by the native Injitikst people sometime in 500 AD, presumably while an ice bridge existed in the area. The eastern half of the province was invaded by the Gaeguiq people in the eleventh century, forcing the Injitikst peoples to live out in the western half. An eruption in 1633 of Mt. Jonquille destroyed dozens of towns in the area, forcing alot of the province to be abandoned. Escaped convicts from Geltan Allangria (today mainland Commolacia) arrived in 1825 and set up the province's capital, Sanctuary Point. Norfolk was incorporated into Commolacia in 1837. Further settlements were eventually formed. Today, Norfolk is a major agricultural and commercial fishing port. A seal fur trade existed in the area before it's dissolution in 1996. There is only one airport in the province, with ferry services between the two islands.
