The United Republic of Castrolla, or simply referred to as Castrolla is a country in Antarctica with 750 thousand citizens. The capital is New Castrolla, Castrolla is a Constitutional Presidential Republic.

Castrolla is one of the oldest countries in Antarctican history that hasn't had crazy kingdom-like governments, but instead always had a central democracy. Castrolla is the head of the Castrollan Archipelago.

Castrolla also has many states such as Water States, Isailand and 2 deserted Islands.

History[edit]

Finding of Land[edit]

A young sailer named Jorge Cucumber was in search of a new way to travel to an island called New Icegate where his country, Great Castrolla, found iron and "gold" (so they claim), he thought that if he went west of Great Castrolla he would find a route to New Icegate (according to his logic?). On April 4, 1022, he found an island which looked deserted, he did not inform Great Castrolla about it but told his friends and family to move there to start a new life from their dictatorship-like country, many flee Great Castrolla in hope they would find a better life there, Great Castrolla didn't even suspect until 500 years later.

Setting up a government[edit]

Although many thought about it, no one really did anything to setup a formal government, everything was complete chaos during the few years Castrolla didn't have a government but then everyone was sick of it and voted for a direct democracy and won. The new land was named Castrolla with President Daniel Emmanuel named president according to official documents, the capital was named New Castrolla and was (somehow) placed in the VERY middle of the island.

However, a direct democracy was a little too much, quickly people passed a law which stated every city would be represented in a Legislative Branch, the legislative building (now known as Congress) was placed in New Castrolla and the system worked out fabulously!

Colonization by Great Castrolla[edit]

In a desperate measure, Great Castrolla tried to find new paths to other countries to save costs as the economy was on the verge of a recession. One day, the King found a VERYYY old map which said "Castrolla" on it, he sent his best sailor to see if the map actually was a valid one and if they could find some land and they did. As soon as word broke that there was newly discovered land, people all over Great Castrolla rushed to ports to get on a ship to said to "the New World" as many referred to it. But Great Castrolla's move just destroyed the best government Antarctica had ever seen. Not only did Great Castrolla destroy the government that had been setup there but they terrorized citizens into following the law and even paying taxes.

Independence War[edit]

Citizens had had enough, they all plotted against Great Castrolla and the Independence War had started, first victory by the newly organised militia (by Jorge Washurton) was at the Battle of Snowshire, as Great Castrolla started realizing the threat that the militia was they tried to control everything to the point it was considering to changing its name to the Dictatorship State of Great Castrolla and regions but the militia using some strategies fought off Great Castrolla with the help of Batavia (although they claim they didn't help). Great Castrolla signed the Treaty of Parie just shortly before it disappeared without a trace. But its revenge would be nasty.

Burning of New Castrolla[edit]

On April 22, 1824, Great Castrollan troops somehow marched from Port Buren in West Castrolla to the capital, New Castrolla. The Castrollan Army was ready to defend New Castrolla and the White House. First Lady Doll Flournoy refused to leave the White House without taking some precious artifacts such as the painting of the Battle of Water Isailand and the painting of President Washurton, all the items she requested were stored in the 56th Bunker on Houseview Avenue, meanwhile troops marched into New Castrolla and made a turn to Presidential Street. President Frank Flournoy and his wife ran out of the White House and left New Castrolla for Pengicero, the city to the west of New Castrolla. Great Castrollan Troops matched directly to the Castrollan Capitol as it was worthy of noticing and broke into it. They stole the painting of the Fire of Kostmost St and even more items, the attempted to burn down the Capitol but failed when they saw most items were not at all flammable, finally they used a bunch of wooden chairs and furniture they found in the House of Fame and tried to ignite it and they did. From miles away, the flame could be seen, the Capitol exploded into flames and Great Castrollan troops headed down Main Street to the White House. They blew down through the gates and destroyed everything in their way even the royal fountain which was a gift. They broke through the White House Windows and looked for anything to steal but found the empty White House. Infuriated, they used axes to break through the White House walls and set the infrastructure ablaze, they marched out and headed toward the Royal Castrollan Treasury in hopes of finding money but found 1 document saying "We certainly got you, General, haven't we?". The general was infuriated and ordered them to burn down the Treasury. They finally headed towards Powerhouse where the 9 judges were hiding the the left house wing. As troops rushed through Powerhouse, stealing everything they could, a storm suddenly hit New Castrolla out of nowhere. The fires died out and a tornado formed, the tornado literally was following the Great Castrollan troops off the city and was the longest lasting tornado in history as it lasted 3 hours (according to some sources) chasing the troops off of Castrolla and into Port Buren. But the troops haden't given up get! They marched into Isailand, into the capital of Vynland where Parliament was previously hosted and attempted to takeover by assassinating Governor James Patterson but failed and were forced out of the Castrollan Archipelago.

Government[edit]

Legislative Branch[edit]

House of Fame[edit]

The House of Fame is the upper house of Castrolla's Government (aka Congress), it controls all laws started by Parliament and has the power to start the impeachment process for ANY government official if 2/3 of the House approve, they can aquit it later if voted, it also has the power to override a presidential deny (veto) and approve war. The President CAN use a forceful adjourn to adjourn any branch of Congress or all of it, in that case, Powerhouse takes over as the temporary legislative branch.

Parliament[edit]

Parliament is not technically a real Parliament but is a branch of the legislative branch, it has the power to start laws and fillbuster any law if they wish, they have the power to override an executive action if 2/3 agree on the case.

Castrollan Assembly[edit]

The Castrollan Assembly, also known as the World Assembly, or the Assembly is a a very low level branch of Congress. All significant cities/town(ships) are represented here and have a voice, citizens of towns can sign petitions for their representative to present an issue in the Assembly. If an issue 2/3 of the Assembly passes an issue, it will be passed to Parliament, and finally the House of Fame. Impeachment may be started here but at least 9.3/10 of the Assembly must agree on that.

Judicial Branch[edit]

Powerhouse[edit]

The Castrollan Powerhouse is the supreme court in all of Castrolla. It can control any law that may be passed by a lower court or even Congress or the President, it can make changes to laws and order other things, in case the President, Vice-President, Cheif of County, Lieutenant and so cannot take preform their duty to run the country (e.g., they're all sick with I-Love-U Flu); Powerhouse can takeover their duties in an artisocratic style until they can return and preform their duties. They may NOT takeover permanently or order executive actions. In case the President adjourns Congress, Powerhouse will be used as a legislative branch. Powerhouse CANNOT be adjourned and if needed can takeover the country until the next presidential election if passed by Congress.

Executive Branch[edit]

White House[edit]

The White House has total control over everything, they may issue executive actions, deny (veto) laws, declare war and succeed Islands if needed. They CANNOT dismantle Congress or Powerhouse and any action by the White House may be overridden by either Powerhouse or Congress although usually Powerhouse can do it faster but normally no executive actions are issued. They can adjourn Congress and any office in the country, they CANNOT adjourn Powerhouse. If they adjourn Congress, Powerhouse will takeover as the legislative branch.

Law & Order/Services[edit]

Capital Punishment[edit]

Capital Punishment is allowed in Castrolla. Capital Punishment is technically what the title says for it, the convicted person will be sent to the capital, New Castrolla, and there will be killed using a quick and painless technique.

Treason[edit]

Treason can and usually will be punished by capital punishment. Treason is quite a powerful thing to be found of, if so, the defendant will have to go to Powerhouse and try to defend him or herself, they can be pardoned by Powerhouse, the President, the Assembly if passed will be represented by the House of Fame. If Powerhouse finds them guilty, they can be put in prison for life.

CPS (Chick Protection Services)[edit]

All Children are heavily protected by Castrollan Laws, if someone is found guilty of even hitting a chickling or causing its death they will be automatically put in jail for life without bail/parole, Powerhouse cannot even pardon the penguin.

Education[edit]

All children are automatically enrolled into the Castrollan School District. All schools in Castrolla are provided by CSD, private schools are not allowed because they tend to "desrupt or not teach the right curriculum".

Crime[edit]

Crime is VERY low because social policies make schools teach them about avoiding a life of crime and how Castrolla is a soon-to-be dictatorship and how they will be obviously shot by police if they do something wrong.

Welfare[edit]

Welfare is vital in Castrolla, Social Services like welfare are much needed for single mothers/fathers. Services such as PFC (Parental Food Card) and PCS (Parental Coupon Services) are provided, people must be not really in poverty but of working class to apply for this.

Public Health Insurance[edit]

Every person in Castrolla has health insurance provided by the Castrollan Ministry of Liability and Protection, all citizens automatically get insurance when born or when a penguin becomes citizens. Taxes aren't really that high at all for some reason.

Economy[edit]

Mining[edit]

Castrolla is a country rich in iron and lead. There are a few diamond caves but Castrolla REFUSES to map them to conserve the naturalness.

Currency[edit]

Castrolla currently uses the Castrollan Dollar (CD) which is pegged at a whopping 6 Club Penguin Coins by the government in order to make the economy appear better than it is. The Castrollan Federal Money Reserve, Fed or the Castrollan Mint is the Castrollan Money Producer, the government always makes sure they have inflation at a right amount and try to resort from a recession at ANY cost.

Banks[edit]

The government's offical bank is J.P. Morgano Victoria-Chase. It is the only bank company, branches like PayBro are used as middle-mans between the user and the bank.

Location[edit]

Castrolla is in the Castrollan Archipelago, which is west of the Bloodstone Archipelago. Castrolla is EXACTLY in the middle as seen on the name:

Trivia[edit]
