The easternmost of the island has no permanent settlement and is open heathlands. On the small Ernst Cape at Fegis Cove there is a large red and white [[wikipedia:Daymark|daymark]], erected in 1789 by Ghenner Ernst. It is a rendered granite circular tower 4.8 metres (16 ft) in diameter and 6.4 metres (21 ft) high, set back to conical termination making it 11 metres (36 ft) high. It was painted white until 1838 but by 1845 had been painted red, and is now painted in bands of red and white. Despite its modernity, the daymark, alongside some prehistoric cairns, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
There is one road connecting the Morstaybishlian half with the Norgsveltian half. Normal border checkpoints on both sides are in place. A joint governmental building is situated over the border and in modern times is where representatives from both country meets to resolve conflict of interests or other matters. Today, the island is completely demilitarised in the pursuit of peace.
Lanis has three churches: In Lanisbury it has a [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] and [[Asatru]] temple and in Fegistry a small Thaerist temple. St Eves in Lanisbury dates back to 1791. Dalmaghar held a series of surveys in Lanis in 2010, 76% of people are ethnically mixed Morstaybishlian and Dalmakhan, 20% are Norgsveltian and the other 4% are Zalian ([[Meremaa]]).
