List of municipalities in Iselande
The municipalities in Iselande are the 25 organized inhabited settlements in the Grand Duchy of Iselande, a constituent state of the United Kingdom of Meckelnburgh. Half of the country's population is found in its largest three cities, Fenixtune, Kesäranta and North Antrusburgh, while almost one third is in Fenixtune alone. Around 80% of Iselande's population lives in the municipalities.
Chartered cities
The original communities on the Jääland Peninsula were the five chartered cities of Jääland who signed a contract of unification in 1678 AN, creating the independent and sovereign state of Jääland. Each of the cities were featured on the coat of arms and the flag of Jääland as golden mural crowns. Under Iselandic law, the chartered cities retain the right of self-government and are entitled to their own devolved services, such as education and policing.
Kesäranta, the second-largest city in Jääland, was not a chartered city under this definition, as it was brought to Jääland's sovereignty much later.
Regions
Iselande is split between two regions, the Charterlands in the south and Queensland in the north. The Charterlands represent the original lands of the chartered cities of Jääland that were united in 1678 AN. The largest city is Fenixtune and includes the capital, North Antrusburgh. Queensland contains the lands built by Jääkeli settlors in 1704 AN and later. Its largest city is Kesäranta.
Around 81% of Iselande's population lives in the Charterlands while 19% in Queensland. The regions serve few purposes other than statistical information and historical reference.
