Soon after, on the 7th, the official coronation took place, and Longyearbyen became the official capital city of Svalbard.

During the save up for the nation, Longyearbyen put expansion on hold, as all funds, and all resident's gold, would go towards Nationhood. After Nationhood was reached, Longyearbyen began expanding rapidly, in population, and territory size. The capital has reached a size of around 70 chunks. The current population is 32.
