The earliest block changes made on Eyjan Hvíta are dated to March 11, 2015. On April 11, one day after the official establishment of Eyjan Hvíta, and one month after its discovery, the capital town of Ægirsborg was renamed to Æbinsborg. Construction of the Æbinsborg waterfront and Alþingishúsið began on the same day. === Propinquity === under construction ===City-state=== As a result of the surge of activity in Eyjan Hvíta following the joining of the settlement's first citizens after its founder, Eyjan Hvíta proclaimed city-state status on May 16th 2015.

It was intended to provide fast transportation between most regions of Eyjan Hvíta, including Vestmannaeyjar and Grænland, as well as to neighbouring nations. The comprehensive completion of several stations in all three regions of Eyjan Hvíta was expected to take a long time. As of April 19 2015, two stations have been completed and as of yet are unnamed. On May 13 plans for a regional overworld rail transport system were scrapped due to high time and resource demand versus demand. Overworld surface road network construction began on May 13 2015 as a consequence of increased construction in the Æbinsborg downtown metropolitan centre and the need for adequate lighting. This followed the scrapping of plans for a regional overworld rail system, as overworld transport by horse was deemed faster and more practical. Construction and planning of a Grænlandic settlement also spurred an overworld road connection between Grænland and Æbinsborg at this time. A nether rail system linking Æbinsborg to the capital town of Grænland, Hnífurvik, and to Vestmannaeyjar, was completed on May 17 2015. In late May 2015 plans were made to connect Eyjan Hvíta to the Valensiya Metro system. A new transfer point called Southwestcross (Valensiyan: //Südwestkreuz//), which is close to the transfer station to Slavia Rail's //Blue Line//, will be established. From there, a branch line will lead to Eyjan Hvíta. Construction will commence as soon as Südwestkreuz station has been built. === Æbinsborg Pharmaceutical Corporation === Founded on May 6 2015 after its first batch of speed potions was provided for free to the public at spawn for the GOTTA GO FAST™ grand opening promotion, Æbinsborg Pharmaceutical Corporation is the first and principal state-owned enterprise of Eyjan Hvíta. ÆPC is capable of the industrialized mass-manufacture of all potions, restricted only by the availability of reagents. The Æbinsborg Pharmaceutical Corporation headquarters is the Æbinsborg Pharmaceutical Corporation Centre or ÆPC Centre, located in Æbinsborg. As of May 6 2015 the ÆPC Centre is under construction. ===== Culture ===== under construction ===== Internal Affairs ===== under construction === Civic engagements and tasks === Civic engagements codify the day-to-day running of Eyjan Hvíta, which includes construction and routine tasks.
