The Republic of Long Island

n. The location immediately east of continental New York. It is a fish-tail shaped island 118 miles long that nestles the eastern shore of Manhattan. Composed of 4 major counties: Nassau (Western LI) and Suffolk (Eastern LI) as well as Kings and Queens Counties which are also geographically located on the Republic of Long Island. More commonly known as simply Brooklyn and Queens (respectively), they they are often referenced as part of "The City" (as they are 2 of the 5 NY boroughs). "The Republic" terminology comes from the fact that many Long Islanders believe they are separate from the United States, and independent country, if you will, and it is a humorous spin on the idea that Long Island is so vastly different that it makes up its own country. Citizens of The Republic of Long Island are often obsessed with their upbringing, sometimes trying to act as though they are "gangsta" when they are really not, and often reference their proximity to New York City ("The City").

"I'm from The Republic of Long Island, formerly known as Long Island, about 55 miles east of New York City."

kent island

An island paradise in Maryland that acts as a diplomat between the pleasant, peaceful eastern shore and the hell that is the western shore. Known for it's crabs, fish, boats, crabbing, fishing, boating, boat racing, seafood restaurants, and an alcoholic teenage population. The Isle of Kent has grown into a suburb of the D.C./Baltimore area, and rapid growth has become a major problem. Kent Island is home to the Buccanneers, Little Glen Burnie (Cloverfields), and a local gang referred to by the police as K-TOWN. QA sucks.

I live on Kent Island. I do not live on the western shore. QA sucks.

Parris Island

Absolute hell on earth. Recruits live here for the 3 longest months of their life, getting beat, having their bodies destroyed, every muscle in their body being broke down by the toughest beings on the planet, Drill Instructors. Much blood, sweat, and tears are spilled on this island, and the only way off is to survive, or die. There is no quitting, there is no escaping. There is only discipline. Marines are made here.

Drill Instructor: "Welcome to my island, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island. The only way OFF my beloved island is to complete my training, or come off in a bodybag. Its up to you. Now get off my fucking bus right now! MOVE YOUR ASSES!"
