The Mira Republic is a constituent republic of Vekllei and in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is part of a small island group comprising the neighbouring Porto Santo republic and the Desert and Savage Islands. Mira is the largest of them, and forms the basis of its industry and culture.

Originally a Portuguese colony, Mira and Porto Santo were uninhabited when discovered and settled in the 15th Century. The islands initially served an important role as a safe harbour in the Age of Discovery, but diminished in importance after the annexation of the Azores and Canary Islands in the late 15th Century. Agriculture has long since dominated the economy, comprising farms of European fruits and vegetables as well as cash crops like sugarcane, and tropical fruit. Sugar processing and fishing supplement the economy, and continue to thrive there today.

In federalisation, island of Mira underwent large political transformations that rapidly developed its civic and economic infrastructure to prepare it as an administrative centre of the Atlantic Region. It plays an important strategic role in the region, and hosts Naval Station Mira.

The island of Mira is in fact the peak of a massive underwater volcano, and its physical relief is dramatic. Its climate is affected greatly by its terrain, but is generally warmed year-round by the Atlantic and Canarian ocean currents. Snow often falls across its mountaintops, which peak at over 1,800 meters. Because of these mountains, Mira receives much more rain than neighbouring Porto Santo.

The island has robust infrastructure to facilitate travel. It has a major international airport that doubles as an air service station, as well as ferry services towards nearby Porto Santo. It also has a rail corridor across its south coast, which links with urban and mountain trams. The capital, Fennel, has funiculars that connect its steep suburbs to the harbour.

Climate

Mild and pleasant year-round, warmed by the Atlantic and Canarian currents. Coastal temperatures range 17–25°C, with the mountainous interior significantly cooler and wetter. Snow occasionally falls at altitude in winter.
