Singiba

Singiba (Adrianese: Aylan Nasingiba; Dajankagrash: 星饒; [ɕiŋˈiba]; Tashanese: Batar balung Xingiba) is an island in the, part of the Nesionytan Islands.

Commonly known as border island, it has a population of 21,492, with the largest settlement being Ghiga, the capital of the Dajankagrash dependency of DIT.

The border between the both countries was formed after a small border dispute between them caused Dajankagru to invade the northern half of the island in 1911. The move was rejected by the Adrian Islands, which immediately recognized this as illegal. The border dispute was resolved in 1955, the same year when Dajankagru also resolved its dispute with over New Gallia. It is one of the least monitored borders in the world, and as a result it is the main source of illegal Dajankagrash immigrants to the Adrian Islands.
