Nestem is a coastal town serving as the county seat of Bisloeca on Carraway Island. As of the 2019 census, the town's population was 1,472.
Approximately 1,500 years ago, early Nestem, prior to American settlement, was the biggest and most important city on what was then called the island of Tad Verq. However, American explorers overlooked the ruins of Nestem upon arriving in 1804, opting instead to settle near the ruins of Adustelan.
