Hopen

Hopen, or Noodle Island (Ez: Marnoudel) is the singular municipality within the Pomors Frontier Commonwealth.
Hopen was incorporated into the Easwegian Realm on the 24th May 2020, and the following emergance of the executive Council the next day began the current era of the Directorial Realm. The island was officially granted federated status within Easway on the 29th May 2020, which thus granted it the ability to elect a Marquis and Directors. When Ankel initiated the reforms to the National Directorate through public referendum that passed on the 10th January 2021, merging the separate Directorates of municipalities, the Pomors-Hopen Isles was classified as an autonomous municipality and kept its separate Directors. Through many changes, including the autonomous municipality becoming a municipality of higher political subdivisions which are now referred to as Commonwealths, Hopen is today a municipality, part of the Commonwealth of the Pomors Frontier.
==Name==
The name Hopen comes from Thomas Marmaduke of Kingston Upon Hull, England who officially was the second person to discover Hopen in 1613, after Jan Cornelisz Rijp, a Dutch explorer discovered it in 1596. Marmaduke named the Island after his former command, the Hopewell, which was then shortened to just Hopen.
The nickname "Noodle Island" comes from the Island's long, thin and twisty shape.
