The Gregarious Gregocracy of Polder Island (Dutch: Republik de Polder Eiland) is a tiny island nation consisting of 1 city with a total resident population of 741 (2021). The nation was founded by Gregory "Greg" Q. Penistone of Penistone Incorporated. Polder Island acts as a tax haven and major tourist attraction within Anteria.
History
Polder Eiland was founded in 2018 as a protest against the taxation of Penistone, Inc. in its original country. Since then, it has become a self-reliant country, entirely run by Greg. It was made as a reference to an althistory book in which there was a country called Polder Eiland that was part of the Sekidean Union.

The official language is English, but there is poorly-translated Dutch bespeckled across the streets, due to Greg's fanboying about aforementioned althistory.
