Island City (Known locally as Eiland by nationals, Город Острова by Willink) is the Capital and largest metropolitan city of the Democratic Territroy of Very Small Island, along with the de jure capital of Spizanian and Willinkian Island Territories, with a estimated population of 425,000.(18 October 2006). It is the also the largest city in all former VSI territory. It is located in the Prevnicia province, bordering the sea to the north, the Magelgia Mountain's to the west, and the Zanzir plains to the south and east. The Lisben river cuts through the city.

The City was first settled by the Spanish in the early 12th century, and grew to become the colonial capital of the Island, although it lost this title to Castle city in 1789.The city has captured international attention numorous times in the past few years. In May 2005, it was the scene of a large military campaign by Hataria that caused minimal damage to the city. This was later repaired under Hatarian control. In June 2005 it was recaptured by rebel-led forces that refounded the nation, naming the city its capital, and in late June it was severly damaged by Parthia in the VSI revolution. In the current date, the city is finally starting to recover from the damage caused.(its current population is still only less than one-eighth of it's pre-war population.)

City residents are know as Islanders, while Visians is a general term for citizens of the nation.
