Weegia
Population: 6.5 million.
Weegia is the largest island in the island chain, and is comma-shaped in appearance when viewed from above. It is the focal point of most Weegie activity - it has the largest population, the most industry, and the centre of political power has been in Weegia ever since the uniting of the Weegies under the Clannate, although where it has actually been has changed; Sioghnaol Tereghan'tich (The "Meeting Place of the Clans"), Carlsson, Buchanan, and Mackintosh have all been the centre of political power in the Weegies at some point. Even though its' population far dwarfs that of all of the other islands, the vast majority of the island is still more or less uninhabited, the main body of people living in the peninsula known ever since the Celdonian explorer Adrian Lyle stumbled upon it as "The Tail" - again, a reference to the comma-like appearance of the island. "The Tail" contains the two most important cities in the Weegies - the political, cultural, and diplomatic capital of the nation at this current time, Mackintosh, and the industrial and commercial workhorse of the nation, Buchanan.
Fairgh
Population: Nil (permanently), 670 (Cithu'canhain Summit Vulcanology Research Station, on rotating basis)
Fairgh has been not been permanantly populated since the last eruption of the last active Weegie volcano, Cithu'canhain, in 1947, when 570 people died in the ensuing pyroclastic flow. For a long period of time, this gave the island an eerie, dead air, more like the surface of the moon than a tropical island, but by now the plants have begun to reclaim Fairgh and Weegie vulcanologists claim that Cithu'canhain is unlikely to erupt again for at least another 250 years, if at all.
