Size needs to permanently be a factor. If you recall, Mount Glenn, which is considered a colossal failure, was Vales attempt to make a second big city, but got overrun by Grimm. The more people you put IN a city, the higher the likelihood it will be overrun, as there are more people to freak out, and as such, more negativity that gets centered in one place.

So provided you can make a good case, like a REALLY good case, the place hasn’t turned into Mount Glenn, you can justify a fortified island that is affiliated to one of the 4 kingdoms/Menagerie. If you want it to be independent…well let’s just say you have a long list of stuff to tick before that one starts to make sense.
