You've dropped an 'i'. It's Zweilunds.

My issue with the Zweilunds (well, one of them) is that it should be at most 2 provinces -not 4. The one province per island approach is ridiculous, you get a L6 province on an island that elsewhere would be described as too small to be a province.
I realise that they want it to be a playable realm but that shouldn't over-come the existing size issue.

Frankly to keep the write up as is, you should make a new basin state and plug the Zweilunds in... An island chain adrift in often freezing waters should not rival Muden!
btw the name: I keep wondering if it means two lands in german, its been a looong time since I learned ein zwei drei but it sounds two-ish to me.

Zwei is two in german, but lunds is nothing, although it could be related to lands....

Sounds like an English interpretation of German "Land". And an 's' for plural.
Like Deutschland. Zweiland(s).Rey M. - court wizard of Tuarhievel

There is a more or less general size for most provinces, though they
tend to vary quite a bit. None of the Zweiland Islands are large
enough to compare to the average size of a province. However, lots
of folks have come up with rules to allow for the creation of "urban
provinces" like the Imperial City. I`d suggest that Zweilunds are
something like that. After all, if we have a tiny urban province
with 10 levels of population then just about any of the tiny islands
off the coast of Cerilia could be turned into provinces with standard
population levels. It`s not like the population of those islands are
engaging in a lot of traditional agriculture, manufacturing or other
settling processes, which is the assumption for the population of
most provinces. The Zweilunders are pirates, and pirates
traditionally have relatively little use for open spaces.
There are several other candidates for this kind of
interpretation. There`s el-Feyin in Ghamoura and the islands of
Dalceir in Mairada. Tomad in Ghamoura is rather small for a
province, though maybe that one`s right around the point at which one
might make the cut off. Several other Khinasi island states,
however, have apparently uninhabited islands that would be plausible
if the Zweilunds and those others qualify. I`ve always thought the
island off of Ilien would work for a small province along those lines.
