History
Liyvazun was historically the capital of Bear Island, before the creation of Boriopa, and thus Herwighamna being assigned the name of capital. It has been a place of mass fishing, with the many lakes being used before being toxified and irradiated during Norwegian administration, which led to marine biodiversity decreasing.

The Imperial Palace, where the Emperor lives, is in Liyvazun.

Until May 2021, Liyvazun’s borders had not been officially defined. The borders was drawn in co-operation between the Emperor & Alderman Csyeigo, alongside Liyvazun’s declaration as a district.

Flag
The flag of Liyvazun represents both the town and the district, and was adopted on April 5th 2021. It depicts a light blue stylised outline of a fish bisected by an arrow with a star below its tip. The designer of the flag, Alderman Csyeigo, states the symbolism as thus:

"The crescent-shaped lines that form the fish and the star act as a map of the region, as the town of Liyvazun is situated where the star lies, beside these three lakes. The fish and arrow show off the area's cultural dependency on fishing, and the colours of white and light blue further reflect this."

The current design was based off the old design, adopted in 2020, the design of which is instead built vertically. This vertical design became the incentive for it to be redesigned.
