Csongrád Island is a Hétumogerian nature reserve. Csongrád island exists in the Sió Lake between Hétumoger and Suvarova and is managed by the Office of Wildlife Conservation and is partially upkept and funded by the Sárközy dynasty, who owns the Sió Estate. The island is recorded to be around 4,252 acres and is composed mainly of forest land. The island is considered important to the Flora and Fauna of Hétumoger. Csongrád Island is also a main attraction for migrating birds.

Csongrád Island was initially considered to be the palace of the gods among the Sió People, where they were not to be disturbed by people. When the Unification of Hétumoger came about and the Confederation of Hétumoger was founded, Csongrád Island was left alone by the request of the Sió people. It was not until the First Kingdom of Hétumoger that people landed on the island. Initially intending on exploiting the resources on the island, this still went against the wishes of the Sió people. After some time, János II made the decision to protect the island in 1072 C.E.. While the Sió people abandoned their tradition of Csongrád Island being a palace and people being able to step foot on the island, they request the nature of the island be preserved. This was enforced by János II, who established the Sió Estate under his noble family, the Esterházy dynasty. The estate changed hands to the Nádasdy dynasty in 1545, after the establishment of the Noble Kingdom of Hétumoger. The estate then transferred briefly to the Ákos dynasty as repayment of debt from the Nádasdy, then the Szapáry dynasty when the Ákos family suffered several internal problems. After the War of Hétumogerian Noble Succession in the wake of the extinction of the Szapáry dynasty, the Sárközy dynasty inherited the the Sió Estate. Known as the Sió Promise, every dynasty since János II's promise to the Sió people refused to touch the island's natural resources.

The ecosystem of the Csongrád Island has been relatively unknown until during the Szapáry dynasty's ownership of the Sió Estate. The ecosystem is extremely different, containing several oak trees that date back as far as before the establishment of the Sió Estate, being over a millennium old. Alongside that, Csongrád Island is home to a large colony of Central Belisarian honey bee and is a hub for migrating birds that travel into Hétumoger. Csongrád Island is also the habitat of the Belisarian brown bear, the Belisarian mink and the Sió duck.
