How does it change in a sentence?

Islandia is a feminine noun.

/isˈlandja/

The Spanish word isla comes from the Latin insula, which is also the root of the English word 'insulate'.
Even though Islandia ends in '-ia', which is common for many countries, it is a rare case where the name is not derived directly from a Latin root, unlike Italia or España.
Spanish speakers often use the adjective islandés to describe things from Islandia, but the feminine form islandesa is used for both the language and the people.

Me gustaría vivir en Islandia.
I would like to live in Iceland.
This sentence is useful for expressing a desire to live in Islandia.
