Long Island is an island state of Georgeland. So named for its long but narrow shape, the island has a land area of 215,034 sq. km, making it about the size of Guyana or the U.S. state of Idaho. The island has a population of 989,424 (2002 census). The capital is Dannyburg.

Government
Like all states, Long Island has a Governor; the Governor is elected but almost entirely a ceremonial position. The state legislature has 43 members, which from 2005 will be elected with a Mixed Member Proportional electoral system. The state Chief Minister heads the government - this is presently Thomas Nathan of the Liberal Democratic Party.
