Bilby Island

**Bilby Island** is an islet in the Western Outer Region bordered by Desert Island to the south and the Yoshi States to the north. It is one of four Australian islets in the region, the other three are Winnard Island, Melbourne Island and Wales Island. Of the three, Bilby Island is the smallest, being 109.11 square miles in size. It is 8.04 miles in length and 8.29 miles in width. Like all other islets in the region with the exception of New Austria, Bilby Island is close to Desert Island. It and Winnard Island have flags similar to France, except that the blue stripe's color is periwinkle blue like the other four islets.
Yoshi Planet

The **Yoshi Planet** is an earth-like planet inhabited by sapient humanoid reptiles known as Yoshis, which are named after the Nintendo character of the same name, and they were given this name in 2014 due to their appearance and resemblance to yoshis. Internal research has been conducted on the planet since 2014 and it has greatly expanded in 2018. There are many of the same countries from the real world that exist here, along with ones that only exist here, including Californialand and countries in the Western Outer Region. The planet is in another universe, and the only way to get to it is by alternate travel through portals.
Arizonia (Country)

**Arizonia** (officially the **Federal Republic of Arizonia**) is a large country federation bordered by the Yoshi States to the south and Canada to the southeast. It is larger than the Yoshi States both geographically and politically. Arizonia has 47 federal divisions while the Yoshi States only has 30 states and five dependencies.

Arizonia is very close to Canada in terms of political rights and civil liberties, scoring a 98/100 for several years and 99/100 in 2022 and 2023, though Arizonia is more populated and has more land up north. The border between the Yoshi States and Arizonia has historically been unguarded and free travel between both countries was permitted. However, since 2003, the border has been guarded off by both the Yoshi States and Arizonia and citizens of both countries can now only enter into each others countries through border checkpoints, even to simply use the bathroom if their house is in both countries. A chain fence separating the two countries was constructed to prevent citizens of each others countries from crossing illegally and both countries patrol it on their respective sides. There have been instances of Yoshi States border guards arresting Arizonian residents whose homes are in both countries for merely going to the back of their houses if they go to use the bathroom.
Tangalu-Kiwi Island Relations

This article is about the relations between Tangalu and Kiwi Island. Tangalu is one of few countries to still maintain relations with Kiwi Island, even after Raphael Francois DuBois became the first president. Relations however are generally strained due to the country's rights record, as well as violence against peaceful demonstrators. Kiwian citizens have routinely defected to Tangalu to avoid persecution given both countries speak French. Despite strained relations, the two countries are generally peaceful with each other. Tangalu has an embassy in Kiwi City, while Kiwi Island has an embassy in Tangalu City.
Cuchio Spit

The **Cuchio Spit** is a sandspit in Cuchio district in northwestern Tikal Island that is parallel to the island, surrounding the Western Bay to the south and the Cuchio Bay to the north. It is a National Militarized Zone, meaning that the spit is off-limits and any unauthorized entry to it is punishable by life in prison for espionage. Foreign citizens, particularly Desert Islanders and Yoshi Americans, even with all mandatory legal documents, have been arrested and jailed for unauthorized entry.

The sandspit houses three important weather stations, as well as a doppler radar, a space telescope, and an air force base with a landing strip going parallel through half of the spit.
Desert Island-Asauna Relations

This article is about the relations between Desert Island and Asauna. Both are island nations in the Western Outer Region and the latter is a member of the Western Outer Union. Asauna has an embassy in Cactulopis and Desert Island has an embassy in New Mildred. Both nations are regional powers within the Western Outer Region. The two nations work together in stopping illegal immigration and capture fugitives across the entire archipelago but under an uneasy alliance.

Relations however have soured gradually due to Asauna's continued detention and forced disappearances against tourists on Northern Danby who happened to be in the Danby Strait, including those who were only a couple of inches away from Northern Danby's shore, some of which never returning home. On March 12, 2023, Keith Lamberson announced that all locals and tourists alike would only be allowed to swim twenty feet past Northern Danby's shoreline and would implement park rangers and lifeguards to enforce the new law, citing Asauna's continued forced disappearances towards those crossing the strait and not allowing them to return home or have contact with family. Even as Desert Island's Ministry of State had tried to petition their release, the Asaunese government refused to allow them to leave and refused to release them, citing that they had entered militarized territory.

Additionally, relations between the two countries have been strained due to Asauna's blockade of Neopalita and subsequent embargo against it, as well as the ABF's forced disappearances of immigration rights activists in foreign countries that have directly challenged it.
National Transportation Protection Agency

The **National Transportation Protection Agency** is an independent agency of Desert Island that enforces airport screenings at all of the country's airports, as well as the International Waterway Ferry at its southern terminus. All citizens who enter Desert Island are detained when they enter an airport and are questioned based on their entry. Additionally, all passengers are thoroughly screened and checked and they must stop at all security checkpoints before entering. Those who fail at just one of these checkpoints or gives one wrong answer are detained and deported, and in some cases, even permanently banned from Desert Island. There are five security gates and those who step one foot past are automatically considered a security threat and are immediately detained and eventually deported and permanently banned from ever entering.

Additionally, all products that get into airports must comply with a series of strict policies, otherwise anything that goes against them for being dangerous are immediately destroyed with no option to retrieve them or any warning.
Lepps Island-Valentine Relations

This article is about the relations of Lepps Island and Valentine. Both are members of the Western Outer Union and both are among the five federations in the Western Outer Region, the other three are Neopalita, Asauna, and Tangalu. Lepps Island has an embassy in Valentine City and Valentine has an embassy in Central Lepps City. They are both neutral countries, allowing them to have relations with both sides or none.
Shapiro Mountain Region

The **Shapiro Mountain Region** is a region comprising the Shapiro Mountain Highway (excluding the start and end points outside of the mountain), as well as all six hamlets on it, and all gas stations, truck stations, convenience stores, farmers markets, etc. on top of the mountain with the highway, are located. It is accredited by the Shapiro Mountain Commission from the Leland Government, which is responsible for enforcing all national laws, as well as region-specific laws. It is also where Shapiro Mountain Poodles and Guhogs reside due to the immense tree coverage.

Almost all cellphone signals, Wi-Fi signals, etc., are completely banned from the region with the only exception being emergency services. Additionally, all foreign businesses are completely banned from operating within the mountain range, hence stores such as 7-Eleven, McDonalds, etc., are not present anywhere in the region. Contemporary and European style architecture is also completely banned, as well as modernization, thus only 1920's style architecture is allowed. Lelandian citizens, as well as all WOU tourists holding their WOU passport can freely cross into the Shapiro Mountain Region, but the latter however needs to obtain a permit from the Shapiro Mountain Commission before entering, and only two passenger vehicles and trucks can officially enter the area.

Anyone who has anything that was purchased from foreign businesses or have anything mentioning them (including logos on their clothes, etc.,) will be permanently banned from the region and anyone who sends foreign goods into the area will be severely punished. These restrictive laws were designed to protect and defend family values and traditions that the hamlets have been practicing for many years and preserve competition from local businesses. Locals living in the area however are still allowed to leave and go into a foreign business (e.g., a 7-Eleven or McDonalds) outside the region and even move out, but they must discard all of their items if they decide to return.

## Life in the Hamlets

Almost all cellphone signals, internet signals, Wi-Fi signals, etc., are completely banned and are reinforced through the use of signal jammers. All social media platforms and online retailers such as Amazon and eBay are also completely banned. There are only analog TV stations operating and CRT Televisions are manufactured and sold here through local shops, and there are also technicians who work on them and fix them. Cars are allowed in the area, however, only two passenger vehicles and commercial trucks are allowed to pass through the highway and enter the hamlets.
National Emergency Service (Desert Island)

The **National Emergency Service** was a government agency in Desert Island that was introduced in 1953 to alert citizens of sandstorms, whirlwinds, and more importantly, potential invasions (until 1979). It not only issued emergency alerts, but also had personnel to assist and rescue those during emergencies, particularly during very strong storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

The National Emergency Service was abolished in 1995 and has since been replaced by the National Emergency Commission that is more efficient and effective.
Asauna-Tangalu Relations

This article is about the relations between Asauna and Tangalu. Asauna has an embassy in New Paris, while Tangalu has an embassy in New Mildred.

Relations between each other have been severely strained due to Asauna's mass surveillance program across the entire WOU and the SWIFT region, indefinite detention of immigrants both legal and illegal, deportation of immigrants back to dangerous countries without their knowledge, transnational repression and mass surveillance against foreign WOU nationals outside of Asauna, stringent rights abuses against detained immigrants in undisclosed prison camps by depriving them of their rights including a trial, its ill-treatment and blockade against Neopalita, arbitrary arrests of foreign nationals who protest against its border control efforts, in or out of the country, and installation of surveillance cameras on other countries' border beaches without consent.

Relations significantly worsened following the kidnapping and forced disappearance of a Tangaluan journalist who questioned the country's prison camps in April of 2009 and the installation of surveillance cameras inside the diplomatic embassies of other countries in Tangalu without consent in the early 2010's. In 2012, Tangalu's prime minister expressed anger and distrust after it was revealed that Asauna's Censorship And Surveillance Bureau gained access into Tangalu's computers without permission and had been monitoring and spying on its government employees without consent for criticizing the country's government. Even after being told to stop, Asauna still continued to spy on most of Tangalu in retaliation to criticism made by the country, and surveillance cameras had even been installed in front of Tangalu's government buildings without consent. In November of 2012, Tangalu issued arrest warrants towards several Asaunese government officials and contractors for contributing to the surveillance against the island, but in response, Asauna retaliated by issuing travel bans against Tangaluan officials and advised its own government embassy officials not to travel to Tangalu due to the arrest warrant issued by them.

Effective September 19, 2023, Tangalu threatened a complete ban against all Asaunese citizens without exceptions as well as a cut in diplomatic relations as a punishment for its continued predatory practices and its continued attacks on Neopalita. This however led to criticism and as such the measure was stalled due to backlash.
Sandy Island-Kiwi Island Relations

This article is about the relations between Sandy Island and Kiwi Island. Sandy Island is one of few countries to still maintain relations even after Raphael Francois DuBois took over the government. Relations have been strained due to Kiwi Island's poor rights record and violence against peaceful demonstrators. However, they are not as strained as with Tangalu-Kiwi Island Relations.
Benjamin Rosaul

**Benjamin Rosaul** (b. April 8, 1919 - d. October 4, 2003) was a Kellyian revolutionary leader and the dictator of Rosaul's Kelly Island from 1949 to 1994 who founded the Rosaulism ideology and ran a piracy ring. He was captured in July 1994 by Desert Island and was sent back to Kelly Island in June 2002 where he was executed the following year.
Yoshilia

**Yoshilians** are a class of sapient organisms that inhabit the Yoshi Planet, and the class includes Yoshiodactyls, which includes Yoshians and Koopians, both of which named after their resemblance to the Mario characters of the same names respectively. Yoshilians are characterized by their sapience, smooth and vibrant colored skin, large cartilage noses, and large eyes. Female yoshilians also have a fourth yellow cone in their eyes, allowing them to see more colors than male counterparts. However, males have sharper vision.
Yoshi States

The **Yoshi States** is a federation in the mindscape dimension that is similar to that of the United States, except having only 30 states instead of 50. It is bordered by the country of Arizonia to the north, as well as the Western Outer Region to the southwest, Californialand and Mexico to the south, and the Caribbean to the southeast. It is considered to be a hyperpower and the only hyperpower of its kind, having broad power and broad authority on the entire Yoshi Planet, as well as a sphere of influence outside of the Yoshi Planet.

## List of States

Despite the first four states having the name City in their names, they are not actually cities, but rather states. Most of the states have the same names as the real-world ones, but with slightly different borders. Each state is semi-sovereign, having their own executive, legislative, and judicial branches independent from the central government, and they also have their own constitutions.

King Michael III

**King Michael III** (b. circa 1984) is the current monarch of Neopalita since September 2021, succeeding his grandfather King Michael (b. 1923 - d. 2021) as the island's king. He has since challenged many laws made by his grandfather and abolished the Protection Of The Peace Law that outlawed international phone calls from being made within the country, and he even lifted all of the country's travel restrictions previously imposed by the monarch. King Michael III ordered that provinces may no longer restrict travel between each other as they are part of the island country and since then, Neopalitans can freely travel between provinces without restrictions or reprisal from provincial authorities. Previously, this was not allowed under the preceding monarch, who required all provinces to require all of their citizens to have permission before going to any other province.
National Jurors System

The **National Jurors System** is an independent agency of the Government of Leland that is in charge of selecting jurors to serve for civil and criminal cases. All citizens between 18 and 60 years old are legally required to register for the National Jurors System and they are required to inform the government of any changes if they move to a new address. Only those incarcerated, institutionalized, or have significant mental disabilities are exempt from registering. The government selects random citizens to serve on a jury and it is compulsory to attend if they are called. Citizens who fail to register are subject to punishments of five years in prison and L$500,000 dollars in fines, and those who aid and abet can also receive the same punishment. Failing to show up for jury duty when called can also lead to L$500,000 dollars in fines and five years in prison. Of all of the countries in the Western Outer Region as well as all countries on the Yoshi Planet that practice an English-based rule of law, Leland is the only country to not have changed their jury duty laws at all after WW2, and it is the country that has the most stringent jury-duty laws.

## Background

The National Jurors System was created by King Leland I in 1919 to have people decide on whether a person is guilty or not guilty, and the king of Leland is the chief director of the agency. As with all thirteen islands in the Western Outer Region, the country was founded by former Yoshi Americans, and therefore its government practices English common law, but a majority of them have repealed these laws at some point or have made their laws more lenient. Leland is the only country practicing English common law to not have changed their legislation after World War II, and skipping Jury Duty is punishable by significant penalties. The king of Leland is the country's only Chief Justice and Supreme Judge and skipping jury duty is dealt with by him. Failing to register for the National Jurors system is also dealt with by the king, and the trials of these offenses are heard in the Supreme Court of Leland, where the King is the judge.

With only three exceptions, everyone in Leland is required to register with the National Jurors System and serve on a jury when called. The government keeps close track on its citizens throughout their lives and selects random persons to serve. The same person cannot be called for jury duty for four years, the only exception is due to a mistrial or miscommunication. The NJS laws apply to national, county, and municipal courts, and county and municipal governments may select random persons to serve on a jury within their limits.
Asauna-Kiwi Island Relations

This article is about the relations between Asauna and Kiwi Island, both of which are in the Western Outer Region, but only the former is in the Western Outer Union. Asauna does not have any relations with Kiwi Island and instead Leland's embassies in New Mildred and Kiwi City are in charge of assisting Asaunese citizens. Relations between the two have been severely strained and hostile and the two countries are constantly at each other's throats, with factors citing Kiwi Island's poor rights record and extensive rights abuses as well as Asauna's repeated hatred towards Kiwi Island in general as the main factors. Kiwi Island is the only country in the Western Outer Region that Asauna does not have diplomatic relations with.

Under federal law, Asaunese nationals, as well as permanent residents with Asaunese citizenship and all other person's subject to Asaunese jurisdiction are completely banned from traveling into Kiwi Island, as well as accessing any website based in Kiwi Island. Doing either of these things is punishable by 20 years in prison and A$500,000 fines. Also going to Kiwi Island from another country is illegal and punishable by the same penalties. Furthermore, Kiwian nationals are completely banned from entering Asauna under any circumstances and it is not possible for them to obtain Asaunese Citizenship, even if they enter from another country. There are also no exceptions to the law either.
System B

**System B** is a gravitationally bound system containing six planets, including two life-like planets, one of which is the Mermaid Pilot Planet, which has humans with mermaid tails living there (mermaid pilots), among others. It is speculated that all 525 humans residing on the Yoshi Planet travelled from this galaxy, yet the distance between both systems is 1.6 light years, and it takes 20,000 years just for spacecraft to travel a single light year, so it is estimated that mermaid pilots have built ships that can travel the speed of light just to get to the other planet, and that typical spacecraft was not used. The star of System B is slightly cooler than that of the star of System A. System A's star is very much like the sun, being 15 million kelvins, while the star of System B is only 12 million kelvins. Some other theories on how these humans were able to get to the Yoshi planet in less than a year despite the distance between the planets.
Majesty Act Of 1974

The **Majesty Act of 1974** is a law in Leland passed by King Leland IV to enforce penalties for insulting the King of Leland. Under the law, insulting the king is punishable by L$100,000 fines and five years' imprisonment. The law is enforced towards physical and online messages and billboards and users accountable are subject to punishment. In addition, the law is also applied in conjunction with the Leland Conscription Act Of 1973 for citizens who refuse military service, which is mandatory in Leland for all male citizens after graduating with almost no exceptions.

Additionally, the act makes it illegal to criticize the government, the ruling family, the police, as well as criticize or attempt to alter the country's Christian values or criticize or undermine the country's mandatory military conscription. However, the punishment for these things is a $50,000 fine and a year in prison, whereas altering the country's Christian values or undermining the country's military draft is punishable by a $100,000 fine and two years in prison. The law still remains heavily enforced to this day and it is often compared by rights groups to the Sedition act of 1918. Anyone, whether an activist, journalist, or just a normal person, can be punished under the law.

Despite the heavy punishments, most people convicted can request an appeal to these charges just as most other charges. The law does not apply to any other issue (other than military conscription and Christian values) and most people in Leland can still protest almost anything else legally and this is generally respected in practice.
Great Transition (WOU)

The **Great Transition** is an unofficial term that people in the Western Outer Region refer to as the period of time the islands began transition into more democratic government types, with Desert Island being the first to transition on February 8, 2022. Layers Island and Neopalita transitioned from absolute monarchies to semi-constitutional ones on March 16, 2022 and May 3, 2022 respectively. Kiwi Island transitioned into a one-party republic on May 28, 2022 and Kelly Island transitioned into a parliamentary republic on June 5, 2022. Valentine also followed through on November 29, 2022.

Asauna, Tikal Island, Leland, and Lepps Island have objected to the transition and announced their plans to continue running as absolute monarchies.
Asauna-Kelly Island Relations

This article is about the relations of Asauna and Kelly Island, both of which are members of the Western Outer Union and both are strategic allies of Desert Island. Asauna has an embassy in Central City while Kelly Island has an embassy in New Mildred. In recent times however, relations between the two have been strained due to mutual distrust and Asauna's refusal to apologize for retaliations made against it during Rosaul's rule. Unlike the relations Asauna has with Tikal Island, Asauna does not have as many problems with Kelly Island and the latter has avoided starting disputes.

## Alliance

Asauna remains one of Kelly Island's most important strategic allies in stopping the Rosaul Regime and significantly dropping the regime's size. Asauna routinely sends troops to combat Rosaul rebels and protect the government of Kelly Island.
Asauna-Sandy Island Relations

This article is about the relations between Asauna and Sandy Island. Asauna has an embassy in Sandy City, while Sandy Island has an embassy in New Mildred.

Relations between each other have been strained due to Asauna's arbitrary arrests against foreign activists, its mass surveillance program throughout the WOU and nearby islands, the installation of surveillance cameras on other WOU countries beaches without consent, transnational repression against foreign activists, the Neopalita Blockade, and its ill treatment of immigrants. Since 2012, Asaunese officials who have contributed to these abuses were issued permanent travel bans and were sanctioned, making almost all transactions and business with them illegal.

However, Sandy Island's tensions with Asauna are more lenient than that of Tangalu's, but nonetheless has called the country out for all of the same reasons, including the disappearance of a Tangaluan journalist in 2009.
Rosaul's Kelly Island

### Government

* Unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic under a Rosaulist totalitarian dictatorship (1949 - 1954)
* Unitary Rosaulist one-party socialist republic under a Rosaulist totalitarian dictatorship (1954 - 1994)

### Date Format

YYYY/DD/MM

**Rosaul's Kelly Island** was a one-party totalitarian dictatorship under Ben Rosaul from 1949 to 1994 that replaced a military dictatorship that was implemented in 1947 on Kelly Island. Virtually all civil rights and liberties were completely denied in practice and Rosaul maintained complete control over the entire population on the island, resulting in many to flee to Asauna, Tikal Island, and Valentine. Everything was nationalized and any private ownership was not allowed. The media and print industries were entirely state owned and all remaining independent outlets were nationalized, private media ownership was outlawed in the constitution. Rosaul also closed all embassies and cut diplomatic ties with all nations and cut the island off from the rest of the outside world, with all foreign products (regardless of content) being completely banned under the constitution.

After an invasion plotted by Desert Island in 1994, the original elective monarchy was restored and everything nationalized was privatized again. The original government has since remained stable, but Rosaul rebels still remain in small numbers in some parts of the country, though those numbers have rapidly decreased because of conscription and support from neighboring islands. The country was completely neutral, although from 1949 to 1954, it did practice Marxism-Leninism, but it was only brief before Rosaul made up his own ideology Rosaulism.

Political rights and civil liberties were severely restricted and almost completely denied in practice. Citizens were barred from reading foreign books of any kind and the country had a purely command economy in which everything is directly state-owned and operated. Citizens could only get a car with government permission and all vehicles on the island were from the state-owned Rosaulmobile, which was the island's only automobile manufacturer, entirely owned by the government. Citizens were not allowed to leave their country at all and they had to have special government permission to move anywhere within the island country.
Winnard Island

**Winnard Island** is an islet in the Western Outer Region bordered by Desert Island to the south and the Yoshi States to the north. It is one of the four Australian islets in the Western Outer Region, the other three are Bilby Island, Wales Island, and Melbourne Island. Like all of the outer islets except New Austria, Winnard Island is located close to Desert Island. It is 126.1 square miles in size, and it is 13.1 miles long and 11.8 miles wide. It and Bilby Island have flags similar to France, except that the blue stripe's color is periwinkle blue like the other four islets.
National Immigration And Border Protection

The **National Immigration and Border Protection** **Agency** (French: **Agence nationale de l'immigration et de la protection des Frontières**) is an independent agency of the government of Tangalu that enforces immigration laws and maintaining border security. It is a division of Tangalu's Ministry of Internal Security. The agency was established in 1923 in response to an overflow of asylum seekers at that time given the country's liberal policies at the time and more freedom.

While the agency has been around for more a century, it was strengthened in 2002 and border security also stepped up further. However, asylum laws remain unchanged. It was also restructured one other time in 1995.
Koopian

Koopians or Koopas are sapient reptile-like creatures that inhabit the Yoshi Planet and they are named for their resemblance to the recurring super Mario turtle enemy of the same name. It is the other group belonging to Yoshiodactyla and the as with Yoshians, the Koopian genus is the only genus in the Koopidae family. Unlike Yoshians, Koopians do not have different skin colors and are instead always yellow.
Rosaulist Democratic Republic Of Kelly Island

**Rosaulist Democratic Republic of Kelly Island** is a proto state located in southern Kelly Island formed in 1994 after the capture of Benjamin Rosaul by Desert Island forces. It was formed by former pro-rosaul officials and guerrillas, as well as those who had supported him. There were 350,000 members when the unrecognized government was first formed, but as of 2022, there are only 57 left following an extensive war against them.

The government continues to practice many principals set by Rosaul when he first took over the island in 1949, but it ceased to be a socialist republic. It is illegal under Kellyian law for foreigners to enter zones controlled by the RDRK directly. At the same time, while it is possible to enter them from Kelly Island, but because of the situation, the Kellyian government cannot guarantee the safety of them. Joining the guerrilla group is a capital offense in Kelly Island and the punishment is death, if convicted.

As of May 5, 2023, all of the RDRK's last remaining territorial possessions were retrieved by the Kellyian government and the RDRK now only exists as an insurgency, meaning it no longer has any territorial claims, and these areas are now open to all.
Provincia Occidentale

**Provincia Occidentale** is one of the seven federal provinces of Neopalita bordered by Provincia Del Salvatore to the north, Provincia Orientale to the east, and Southern Neopalita to the south. It is also the twin province of Provincia Orientale, both of which were separated from Provincia Del Salvatore in 1937 in a peaceful deal, and both provinces have identical flags to one another, albeit in different colors. Both of the flags are based on the flag of Catalonia, a Spanish autonomous province.
Sorbet Buoyfish

The **Sorbet Buoyfish** is a small fish native to Sorbet Island in lakes and streams. They are characterized for their fused jaw that acts as a vacuum, as well as their vibrantly colored belly that has brightly colored patterns on them (spots, stripes, polk-a-dot, and zigzag patterns, etc.) that vary in vibrancy depending on its health, with vibrant colors signaling good health, and dull colors signaling poor health. They also have hard armored skin on its sides and its back, while their soft bellies are unprotected. In contrast with other species in the Vibranthoschelthes family, Sorbet Buoyfish only eat plankton and very small fish.

Sorbet Buoyfish are six inches tall, five inches wide, and seven and a half inches long. They have a life expectancy of six years and are fully grown at eight months. A single fish can lay up to 10,000 eggs at one time. While not aggressive or territorial, they have the ability to spit out cicutoxin from their snout when threatened and their whole belly is covered and protected by a layer of cicutoxin that is produced by glands to ward off potential predators. This cicutoxin layer however can depleted if the fish is in poor health, while it is at its strongest point if it is in good health. The toxin does not harm or affect the fish itself or any Sorbet Buoyfish.
Newtown Beach

Newtown Beach is a metropolitan area in eastern Southeastern Leland County in Leland. It is one of the more recently established areas in the country, being established in 1947. It is also where Mardi Gras is held as an annual event. It is called Newtown Beach because there is a beach on the easternmost side of it.
New Mildred

**New Mildred** is the capital of Asauna. It is where the country's palace, ministries, federal court, federal agencies, etc., are located.

New Mildred is often referred to as one of the last places for tourists to get arrested in, especially by Desert Islanders. This is due to the country's very high crime index, low investigative standards, and corrupt police force. Many governments even have travel warnings against going here due to fear of kidnappings, mass shootings, homicides, and corruption.
National Marshalls Of Desert Island

The **National Marshalls Of Desert Island** is a law enforcement branch in Desert Island and the country's main law enforcement branch tasked with enforcing the country's national laws nationwide. It is Desert Island's equivalent to the FBI of the Yoshi States and its real-life counterpart the United States.

In addition to law enforcement on a national level, it is also tasked with stopping criminals who escape counties within Desert Island, as well as preventing gangs.
National Probation Department (Desert Island)

The **National Probation Department** **(NPD)** is a law enforcement agency of the government of Desert Island responsible for the supervision of those released on probation and enforcing the restrictions placed on them. They also supervise felons that are placed on probation provided that they are well behaved.

In Desert Island, those that are on probation are not allowed to consume any alcohol or possess any drugs, including tobacco. They are also not allowed to possess any firearms and they are required to obtain permission before leaving the country. They are required to meet up with their probation officer every month and they have a strict curfew that lasts from 8PM to 8AM. The government has set a strict limit on what conditions can be added to probationers and under internet freedom clauses, citizens may not be barred from having internet access except for sex offenders or those who have committed computer related crimes (e.g., fraud).

While mainly responsible with enforcing probation laws towards those on probation as well as arresting probationers violating probation conditions, they are also law enforcement, and they have the exact same arrest powers as the National Marshalls of Desert Island and other law enforcement branches. They can arrest drunk drivers (including ones that don't have a criminal record), as well as kids who consume alcohol while under 19, and other things. They can also help D.I. Marshalls arrest fugitives just as any of the country's law enforcement branches and they can arrest anyone with an outstanding warrant.

In addition, they also have additional powers that police agencies and national Marshalls lack. They do not need a warrant to arrest or search someone (but only if that person is serving probation or parole), and they can confiscate electronics from sex offenders without a warrant or a court order if the government believes that they are a risk to society.
Mario Benedissi

**Mario Benedissi** Is the sixth and current governor of Provincia Del Salvatore and has been the province's governor since 1998. He was born and raised in Provincia Del Salvatore and attended a Christian academy during secondary school.

Since coming into power, Benedissi dismissed the province's parliament and outlawed the creation of other parties, now ruling by decree. He has since been accused by authoritarianism for ordering the arrests of other candidates.

Benedissi is ultraconservative and has imposed Christian law within the province's borders. He has criticized rights groups for trying to play with Christian rules, and is an advocate for compulsory church attendance. Benedissi has also incorporated the biblical texts into the province's constitution and has taken broad control over universities, as well as all ISPs within the province.
Asaunese Blacktail Deer

The **Asaunese Blacktail Deer** is a species of wild deer native to Asauna and it is named for their completely black colored tails. There are approximately 50,000 of them on the island and it is considered a rare type of deer due to being confined in its native island. Apart from their tails, they also have black inner ears and brown bodies with darker brown necks. They are smaller than Whitetail deer and they tend to ignore each other instead of fight. Like most other deer, only males grow antlers, but they also grow beards on the bottom of their lower jaws, which is something only male Asaunese Blacktails grow. Their faces are similar to that of whitetails, except that they do not have white spots around their mouths or on their necks.
Palazzo Dei Re

**Palazzo Dei Re** is a small town completely surrounded by the capital of Neapolis in Neopalita. It is where the country's royal palace is located and the main residence of the king of Neopalita. It is characterized by homes of medieval architecture and vibrant green landscape. Unlike the capital, it does not have its own police force and instead uses royal guards to perform most of those duties within the town. The royal wall surrounds it from Neapolis and ordinary Neopalitan citizens aren't allowed access to it, though tourists may enter through a specially licensed tour guide and tour the restaurants and shops. However, if tourists do enter this restricted area, they may not leave their tour guide without permission unless to use the bathroom. Most of the residents within this town are people who are members of the royal family or those who work for the royal family (i.e., royal guards, maids, etc..). It is approximately three miles in square feet.

Things such as leaving a licensed tour guide by simply walking away from them, vandalism of the royal palace by graffiti or egging or by any other means, photographing or filming the royal palace, royal guards or restricted areas, or simply walking into a restricted area are all capital offenses and can result in a conviction of Disturbing the Majesty, which is punishable by life without parole. Photographing or filming the royal palace, royal guards, or restricted areas is also punishable by conviction of espionage and an additional life sentence, and vandalism of the royal palace by graffiti, egging, or any other means is punishable by conviction of treason and an additional life sentence. Tourists have been arrested for walking away from their tour guides and were quickly sentenced to life without parole for Espionage and Disturbing the Majesty. A famous example was in 1998 when a 22-year-old Tangaluvian was convicted of Treason and Disturbing the Majesty for walking away from his tour guide to throw eggs at the royal palace and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the chance of release, though he was eventually released and deported back shortly after due to pressure and concern from Tangalu's foreign minister at the time.
Desert Island-Neopalita Relations

This article is about the relations between Desert Island and Neopalita. Desert Island has an embassy in Neapolis, while Neopalita has an embassy in Cactulopis. Both countries are island countries in the Western Outer Region and the latter is a member and one of the founders of the Western Outer Union. Relations between the two have fluctuated but have at times been strained due to Neopalita's arbitrary arrests against DI citizens, mostly for things that would not be subject to such arrest in the developed world.

During the reign of King Michael from 1942 to 2021, relations have generally been strained, especially before 1979 when both countries were authoritarian absolute monarchies. Both countries have accused each other of committing war crimes. Neopalita would deport and force political dissidents into exile for many years, in which after Asauna started attacking them, they started going to Desert Island. However, the country refused to take back political dissidents and forced them to take them somewhere else. Since 1979 however, relations began to improve slightly after the authoritarian regime was overthrown but deteriorated again after Neopalita passed the Protection of the Peace Act of 1981 in 1981 and continued refusing requests to take back citizens forced into exile. It was only until 1998 that Neopalita would finally start taking them back.

After King Michael's death in September 2021 and King Michael III's ascendence to the throne, relations between the two countries improved significantly after the new king began to abolish most laws and restrictions imposed by King Michael, including the infamous POTP law, and agreed to end political repression and arbitrary arrests.
National Draft System

The **National Draft System** is an independent agency of the Government of Leland that makes citizens potentially available for conscription in times of war. All male citizens are required to sign up for it once they turn 18, even if they are still in high school. It is separate from the Leland Conscription Act Of 1973 in that it is only tasked with conscripting citizens during times of war and has nothing to do with the country's mandatory four-year military conscription. However, when the National Draft System is activated, all citizens between 18 and 38 are drafted, usually to fight a major war. However, the last time the NDS was activated was in 1994 in response to the invasion of Rosaul's Kelly Island, and before that was in 1987 during the Kellyian invasion of Sorbet Island.

Failing to register is punishable by ten years in prison and L$500,000 fines, and anyone who aids and abets is subject to the same penalties.
Censorship In Asauna

This article is about censorship in the Kingdom of Asauna. While Asauna respects the rights of its citizens, censorship by the government is not unusual. Websites that criticize the country's border control efforts, as well as websites that are anti-Asauna or pro-Neopalita are blocked by ISPs, but users can still access them through VPN privately as VPN use is legal. Using the internet however to start any major protest as to alter the country's government by violent means is a federal offense and punishable by a minimum of 40 years in prison with no parole.

## Legal Protections

Citizens in Asauna have substantial legal protections, and both freedom of speech and freedom of the press are guaranteed by the constitution, and the government generally respects these rights in practice. Users enjoy mostly free internet access and independent journalists generally enjoy press freedom. However, journalists attempting to report on the country's border patrol have been subject to forced disappearances and the government has cut off internet access as a means of preventing the outside world from knowing about the country's border controls for security reasons.

## Surveillance

Asauna is ranked among the island countries most strongly identified as having mass surveillance. There are 65,000,000 cameras scattered throughout the island, most of which are in New Mildred and Asunna. The surveillance system has reliable facial recognition technology and infinite recording in an attempt to monitor citizens. Even so, crime in Asauna is very high and the island country is among the most dangerous tourist destinations in the world due to gangs and cartels.

Attempts to deter crime have failed as cartels had figured out how to bypass the surveillance system and get stronger weapons with the help of the RDRK. Corruption also prevents the government from successfully stopping crime.

In regard to internet surveillance, the island country is ranked as selective, along with Leland. However, the country monitors internet access and filters out websites critical of the government, the royal family, or the ABF, and access to these sites is punishable by fines, arrests, prison time, and sometimes even a permanent travel ban, meaning anyone accused is banned from leaving the country for any reason. Provinces can even ban individuals from leaving their own province as well.
Primary Route System (Desert Island Republic)

The **Primary Route System** or **PRS** is a network of expressways spanning throughout Desert Island first established in 1937. PRS-1 is the largest route, surrounding the entire island, while PRS-2 serves as the north-south freeway and PRS-3 serves as the west-east freeway. There are sub routes for certain larger communities within the island nation (e.g., PRS-??1), these are part of the **Secondary Route System** or **SRS**.

Like interstates in the Yoshi States, PRS and SRS freeways in Desert Island are divided and cross-traffic is limited to overpasses and underpasses, with certain busier roads having connections via exit ramps.
National Emergency Commission

The **National Emergency Commission** is an independent agency of the government of Desert Island that is tasked with providing emergency alerts and assisting those in the centers of emergencies. It was formed in 1995 as the successor to the National Emergency Service that existed since 1953.

It and its predecessor are both Desert Island's equivalent to the Emergency Alert System and FEMA in the Yoshi States. The system uses a text to speech synthesizer, with the NEC's first one being Huge Harry (1996 - 2004), and then Tom (2004 - 2018), and New Paul (since 2018).
Leland-Neopalita Relations

This article is about the relations between Leland and Neopalita, both of which are island countries in the Western Outer Region and both are members of the Western Outer Union. Leland has an embassy in Neapolis and Neopalita has an embassy in Leland City. The two countries also run under Christian governments, meaning that Christianity is the official religion of both countries, and the rule of laws and judiciaries of both countries are based on that religion. However, Neopalita's branch of Christianity is Catholicism while Leland's is Protestantism, but the two countries are generally good allies, nonetheless.

In terms of relations, both Leland and Neopalita have friendly relations amongst each other and King Leland IV has visited King Michael frequently. Leland has routinely sent its military to help defend Neopalita numerous times, though since the formation of the Western Outer Union however, the two countries as well as all other member nations in the WOU have become more friendly towards each other.
