From YPPedia

The island panel on the sunshine widget holds abundant information about the island you're on. The island panel shows:

• the name of the island's archipelago
• the size of the island
• the ruling flag and governor of the island (if applicable)
• the island's current population (if applicable).

If the island is inhabitable and not currently your home island, there will be a button that allows you to move there and become part of that island's populace.

The island panel is only available when you're outside on an island.

As with all sunshine panels, your PoE (and, if applicable, doubloon) total is displayed at the bottom.

Historical Notes

Before there were different sizes of islands, the island panel didn't show the size of the island.

At one time, the panel showed the pirate's distance from the docks.
