Gýordonz (Phineaner: Gýordon; Taesongean: 겨르동즈; RR: Gyeoreudongjeu; MR: Kyŏrŭdongjŭ), known as the Gýordonz Islands (Phineaner: Kepulauan Gýordon; Taesongean: 겨르동즈제도; RR: Gyeoreudongjeu-jedo; MR: Kyŏrŭdongjŭ-chedo) or Heitō (Sangunese: 屏東, translit.: Heitō?, Taesongean: 병동; RR: Byeongdong; MR: Pyŏngdong), officially known as the Gýordonz City (Sangunese: 屏東市, translit.: Heitō-shi?, Phineaner: Kota Gýordon; Taesongean: 겨르동즈시; RR: Gyeoreudongjeu-si) or the Gýordonz Directly-Administered City (Sangunese: 屏東直轄市, translit.: Heitō-chokkatsushi?, Phineaner: Kota Pentadbiran Langsung Gýordon; Taesongean: 겨르동즈직할시; RR: Gyeoreudongjeu-jikhalsi; MR: Kyŏrŭdongjŭ-chikhalsi), is a Phinbellan directly-administered metropolitan city located in the west of the Captive Sea. Gýordonz is one of the four directly-administered cities under the federal government apart from Cyberaya, Liancourt Rocks and Hashima. It is the only directly-administered metropolitan city located in the middle of the ocean. The city has a geographical area in the form of an archipelago where the largest island has located a city center, which is Melekeok State on the west side. The metropolitan city of Gýordonz has covered the entire archipelago with a land area of 651.27 square kilometres (251.46 sq mi), with a population of 1,841,790 people of various ethnicities and races. Gýordonz is one of the main hubs of the entertainment industry in Phinbella apart from Negara Awan, Springwind Islands, Providenciales, Phinéas Padolski, Danville and Kéijō. It is also a second hub for offshore business, finance, hospitality and military defence. The city of Gýordonz is indeed characterized by the combination of various cultures found in the Phineonesian region such as the cultures of the Phineaner, Taemhwanian, Sangunese and Western communities, where this cultural mix can be reflected in architecture, demography, cuisine, music and local speech. Gýordonz is also the hometown of the local language, Gýordonzian, which is spoken by almost all of the city's residents, and the city also houses the Gýordonzian Culture, Art and Language Center which is located in the middle of the city center.
The metropolitan city of the archipelago was once an uninhabited archipelago until -250BP, it was a non-resident fishing village, and it was first explored in November -116BP when a group of Westerner settlers came to the archipelago and established a permanent settlement there. In -110BP, the Royal Barinean Outlying Islands Chartered Company (SBKTB) was one of the first to establish a settlement in these islands, while the Shandānø'kaílander Concession was subsequently established in the northern area of the archipelago in -104BP. Early in the exploration, several chartered companies established concessions on the islands and development on the islands began shortly thereafter. Gýordonz was once part of Permata Mutiara from RP 2600 to RP 2612 under the Phinbellan provisional government, and during that time the city subsequently flourished, becoming one of the main offshore commercial and financial hubs of the Phineonesian region in the end of RP 2600s and early RP 2610s, and that period was also a witness to local rebellions, especially the Mengkabong and Melekeok Revolt in RP 2606. However, Gýordonz was included in the administration of the Carey Islands Territory from RP 2612 and into the Phinbellan Unincorporated Territory from RP 2616, but it is still inhabited and growing in population until its seperation in 1733 AN. Gýordonz was granted city status in 17.XI.1720 AN until its status was raised to a directly-administered metropolitan city.
Gýordonz has two main gateways, Persisir Air International Airport and a container port known as Port Betty, both of which are the busiest in the archipelago, and the city is considered to be the busiest offshore transport hub. Gýordonz also has two toll expressways, a light rapid transit system train network and also a streetcar network, it simultaneously gradually connects almost the entire city, especially on this main island. Gýordonz has four seasons with a favorable subtropical highland climate and has a modern and natural scenery, it makes this new metropolitan city one of the popular tourist destinations in Phinbella apart from other major cities. Some attractions that are the focus of tourists in this city are the Betty Islands which is a cluster of islands located 25 kilometers from the main island, Fiča i Feđja which is an estuary area that was once used as a military base, Gayang Bridge, Lincolnuchi Beach, Bandar Pulau Laila, Pavilion shopping center, Xinotown in east of city center, Pasar Besar Kaitou, Mengkabong War Memorial, Gýordonz City Museum, New Hebrides and Pončeh. As the city has a modern look, it is also famous for its nightlife. The city's famous narrow alleys are located in the Fiča i Feđja district because they are passable. Gýordonz has a mountain range that is as high as 1,245 metres (4,085 ft) where it stretches in the middle of the main island.
