The Absolutely Awesome Poshian Empire, commonly known as Poshia, is a wealthy nation of Prepguins that want to extinguish nerd-dominated realms, and rule over them in a segregated apartheid with crippling taxes and general mistreatment of nerds. As such. the Dorkugese Territories and anything else geeky have been attacked by Poshia at one point or another.
Since 2006, Poshia has been officially recognized as an imperialist nation.

History[edit]
Prepguins are a species of penguin who carry the same genus (callidus) as other famous species such as the Dorkugese, Jerks, and the Geeco-Dorkugese. They fully deny this, however, and founded this nation to separate from all the other "heathens" in Antarctica around 2003.
After taking care of their businesses, the newly formed nation set out to conquer other realms populated by nerds. However, their ultimate prize, Dorkugal, was far too big to conquer, so they settled for attacking the territories of the nation in question.
They conquered various territories of Dorkugal, such as Industry Isles in their existence. Macradonia was in their scope very soon, and Alxeedo the Awesome, being fully aware of this, sent a military general to attempt peaceful diplomacy. As soon as the macaroni penguin soldier set foot in the Poshian court of law, he was given a wet willie and tossed out. He didn't give up, though, and continued to other establishments of government in the nation's capital. Each one resulted in a wet willie, and each one brought harsher and harsher insults to the Macradonian general. By the time he gave up and went home, he had received around twenty eight wet willies and a bunch of ridicule from the snobbish government.
- The general on the trip:
In all my years of war, I'd seen a lot. I've thrown pies at wraiths and stood for Penguin OS against all odds. Nothing, however, could prepare me for the horror I had to handle when in the Poshian Empire. I was laughed at, and each offer I made involving peace was met with ridicule. They mocked everything about me, from my uniform to my eyebrows... which is odd, can I really HELP being a macaroni penguin, and having eyebrows? All attempts at diplomacy resulted in wet willies. I have so much saliva stuck in my feathers that it'll take DAYS to preen it all out. I was mortified, the insults were too much!
The general, according to what Macradonia released to the press, is currently crying in Alxeedo's palace.
Naturally, Alxeedo the Great doesn't take hostility lying down. He quickly liberated the Dorkugese territories seized by the snobs and stormed the nation's capital. After a long and drawn-out fight, a cease fire was drafted (but no peace treaty was signed thus making them still at war), and having exhibited their awesomeness, the Macradonians left the Poshians. Did this stop them? Oh, not at all! Their response after the Macradonians showed them mercy was to raid and recapture Industry Isles and then seize Dorkugal Minor.
As of now, no Macradonian plans to kick Poshian butt are in effect, but skirmishes occur every now and then.
Poshian forces have received their fair share of embarrassment from other lands as well. When the nation sent a messenger over to Sparka, he got kicked into a well.
When Poshians tried to sneak-attack and invade Lichenblossom by suprise, they were also PWNed.
Invasion by Nexon[edit]
Around 2013, Nexon attacked and colonized Poshia. However, Poshia regained independence after Margate invaded Nexon.
Economy[edit]
Poshia has a relatively weak economy, since they don't really import anything. They mostly rely on tourism from other prepguins around Antarctica, which doesn't give them a lot of money. The only reason why its citizens are rich is because of the large amounts of money that is sent into the country by other prepguins from Club Penguin. However, starting in 2015, they have a growing textile industry.
Government[edit]
Poshia is classified as an "oligarchy absolute monarchy", because it is ruled by a king, who has almost absolute power. Below him is a small group of ultra-rich Prepguins who control most of the economy and politics. Below, is the "Lower Class", who don't have all the rights that Prepguins have and are persecuted by the government.
Culture[edit]
Class System[edit]
Being ruled by Prepguins since it was founded, Poshia has inherited many national traits that Prepguins show. This includes the belief that prepguins are the best of all Antarctic species. While other species are allowed to live in Poshia, any creature that isn't a prepguin is publicly known as part of the "Lower Class", who don't have many rights.
Sports[edit]
As Prepguins are usually very good in sports, Poshia has national leagues for almost every sport, and Poshians usually perform well in international sports competitions (Almost always in the top 10, no matter what sport).
One of their main international events is The Olympics. Poshia first performed in the 2004 Summer Games in Olympia, followed by the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Liguria. They have performed in every Olympics since.
Cuisine[edit]
Celebrations[edit]
Customs[edit]
Influence[edit]
Fortunately or unfortunately, the heavily prepguin-influenced culture of Poshia has been seen far and wide in recent years. One of the places where it's influence is seen the most is the city of Club Penguin. Since 2012, the prepguin population, and the amount of penguins who live by the prepguin population have steadily increased; many penguins lie and say they are prepguins just to "be cool". In addition, as part of the Poshian culture, Club Penguin prepguins and prepguin impersonators often get in "wars" (on various servers, sometimes many at once) with Mwa Mwas and geeks to gain control of the Pet Shop and the School, respectively.
Transportation[edit]
Having a relatively weak economy, the government doesn't have a lot of money to build roads. The only roads are in the cities, where Poshians who live in the cities build roads for their own good. For example, if a penguin wants to drive from their house to the store, and they don't want dirt roads to make their cars dirty, they will build a road from their house to the store. Eventually, the roads will spread all over the city.
Currency[edit]
Like many nations, Poshia uses the Club Penguin Gold Coin, which makes trading with countries easier, so that the economy will be stronger. Before they switched to the Club Penguin Gold Coin, they used the Medes, which was worth half a CP Gold Coin.
Geography[edit]
Poshia has a somewhat desert climate, since they don't get a lot of rain. The geography is also somewhat desert, since there aren't many trees. The nation also has a few mountains.
Military[edit]
Poshia has a relatively weak military, since they don't get a lot of funding from the government. There are 100,000 soldiers in the Poshian Armed Forces. The navy however, is better, even though they have outdated ships, although they aren't as outdated as Dorkugal's navy ships.
