Justantina Island

Justantina Island is an island territtory belonging to the Kingdom of St Samuel, located in the East Pacific region, off the coast Greston.

History

In April 2007 the island was sold by the Republic of Greston to the Kingdom of St Samuel. The island, at the time was uninhabited and was named Justantina Island after the current reigning monarch, King Justantine IV of St Samuel.

Since the island became a soverign territory of St Samuel the population is now 95,250.

The island is still used by Greston where they have beer storage facilities.

In late 2007 the island was made a tax free haven in the hope of attracting migration to the island. This attracted nearly 50,000 migrants from Kirav, Vetalia and Mokastana and the cities of Kêrona, New Petrovsk and Colonia del Zapata were founded.

Wolf Lands Incorporated

In June 2007 Wolf Lands Incorporated were contracted to plan and construct a new city and resort in the West Bay district. The estimated completion date is 2010 and is planned to include a mega-destination resort with an all-inclusive hotel with restaurants, shopping, entertainment, relaxation, business, and more, a small, jungle-preserve styled walk-in (giant cage) zoo, a mini-amusement park complete with rollercoasters and water rides and open fields and park for sports, horses, and personal use. Also planned is a fantasy-styled, in-character city (like a colonial town, but fantasy), complete with everything necessary for both a functioning town and for an enjoyable, sureal experience. The new city has been named Justinian and the resort area Obsidian.
