Places
The town of Vesturhavnar is quite de-centralized, and is the smallest national capital in the COFR Alliance. The largest workplace is the docks, but many also work in smaller industrial areas or in the service trade. In comparation with other towns and villages in Kalduroyar, the town of Vesturhavnar has very few fishers, even though the harbour is one of the best in the whole archipelago.
Other villages in the municipality includes Vindavík and Langfjørð. The name Langfjorð is taken from the fjord with the same name in the eastern part of the municipality, but in this context, Langfjorð includes the villages around it; Kláksvík, Fjørðgápið and Flátbø. Another village is Hoydal, which is located halfway between Fjørðgápið and Vesturhavnar.
Sports
Outside Vesturhavnar, heading to Brattnes, you will find the village Útbú, famous for it's sports arena where Vesturhavnar's local sports team, Útbúar Ítróttarfelag (ÚÍF), plays it's home matches. Kláksvík has it's own sports team in the top of the national leagues, Kláksvíkar Ítróttarfelag (KÍF). The two mentioned teams are the best football teams in the Kalduroyan National Football League (KNFL).
Post marks
All the villages around Langfjørð are using Langfjørð as post mark. This means that if you want to send a letter to a person called Tór Hansen in Fjørðgápið, you have to mark the letter like this:
Tór Hansen,
Langfjørð
You don't have to write any number to indicate where Langfjørð is because the population is quite minimal, almost nobody have the same first and second name, and no names of places are used twice in the small country.
