Lavaheart Island

Lavaheart Island is an island nation located between Antarctica and Australia. The population is about 7,000 penguins. It was discovered in 2012 by Manbu3, who is now the president. Its climate is very hot and volcanic. There is little-to-no life on the island except for the Lavaheart Jungle and Lavaheart City in the northeast region of the island and Sulphur City in the southwest region of the island. There are many mountains and volcanoes throughout the island. The largest volcano is Lavaheart Volcano. Lavaheart Island also has a very large gold deposit under the Lavaheart Volcano.

History
Lavaheart Island was discovered in 2012 by Manbu3, a penguin who came from Club Penguin. He went back to Club Penguin and told some other penguins about it. Then, he returned to Lavaheart Island with his son, Manbu4, and a group of other penguins. They created a country on the island, with Manbu3 as president, which many other countries soon recognized, and started building Lava City. However, soon after that, Lava City was renamed to Lavaheart City.

After the island was discovered, thousands of penguins have moved to the island from many different places around Antarctica. Because of that, Sulphur City has also been built.

In 2013, after the Manifest Destiny Treaty was written and signed by Snowiny, Margate, Amataria and Shops Island, Lavaheart Island joined the Free Republic Union to gain protection from possible annexation.

Future
In 2026, Lavaheart Island will be attacked and conquered by a terrorist group known as the Northern Necromancers. Because of that, Lavaheart Island will no longer be a free republic, as well.

In 2042, Lavaheart Island's savior, Manbu4, will defeat the Northern Necromancers and regain justice and dignity to Lavaheart Island. Manbu4 will also become the new president of Lavaheart Island. A year later, in 2043, Lavaheart Island will also once again become part of the Free Republic Union.

In 2346, the Lavaheart Volcano will erupt, scattering rock, lava, and ashes everywhere, thus destroying Lavaheart City and killing a few penguins (most of the city's inhabitants will be evacuated). Because of that, Sulphur City will become the new capital of Lavaheart Island.



In 2373, the broken down part of the island will collapse on itself and sink into the ocean, never to be seen again...

In 2780, a group of explorers will find the lost city of Lavaheart City, and in 2793, Lavaheart City's ruins will be turned into an underwater museum that divers can visit and renamed to The Lost City of Fire.

In 2840, the Lavaheart Volcano will erupt again, thus creating a new small tropical island in Lavaheart City's place.

Government
The leader of Lavaheart Island is called the president. The president isn't elected, he/she rules until he/she dies or resigns. If the president resigns, he/she has to decide who will become the next president. If the president dies and hasn't decided who will become the next president, then the government will decide it.

The government is elected every four years. The current Prime Minister of Lavaheart Island is Bob Lavapeng.

There are three political parties in Lavaheart Island. They are called the Lava Party, the Magma Party and the Volcano Party.

Language
Most of the inhabitants of Lavaheart Island speak English. About half of them use USA English and the other half of them use Free Republic English.

Anthem, motto and flag
The motto of Lavaheart Island is "In lava we trust", the anthem is called "The Lava Anthem" and the royal anthem is called "The Volcano Anthem".

The flag of Lavaheart Island has three different-colored parts: an orange one and two gray ones.



Economy
A big part of the Latelish economy is made up of exporting lava and things made of lava. Also, because Lavaheart Island is an island, there are some shipyards located in both of the cities. Most of them are owned by a big ship building company caled Lavaheart Ships, Inc..

The current unemployment rates of Lavaheart Island are somewhere around 3.7%.

The currency of Lavaheart Island is called Lava Coins (£₡)

Lavaheart Island has a very large gold deposit under the Lavaheart Volcano that Manbu3 industrialized in 2014 However, because it is located under a volcano, mining is very dangerous.

Taxes
Currently, tax rates in Lavaheart Island are high enough to fund government services, but low enough to not make anyone angry. They used to be a bit higher before, but they were lowered in 2015.

There are some loopholes to avoid taxes in Lavaheart Island, which haven't been found by the government. However, nobody else has also found them, so everyone still pays taxes. The government is always looking for loopholes and removing any that they can find.

Also, some penguins and puffles move from Lavaheart City to Sulphur City and from Sulphur City to Lavaheart City. However, there aren't very many penguins and puffles who do that.
