Basic Information
Frankenstein Islands is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions. Executions are only performed when any citizen from Shrek Land or Donkeyland step foot on Frankenstein Islands land or if a criminal has done something that is worthy of death. The death penalty is acted upon if the person commits espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases. The hard working, republic population of 162 million is effectively ruled by a president. The poorer people, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The poor citizens that are starving have been given many job opportunities but don’t take them. They also have the option of going to a food bank. It is not permitted to give them money if they are begging but if they aren’t begging then money can be given to them.
Economy
Citizens pay 9.0% on income tax. The government spends that money on defense 21.4%, education 18.4%, law and order 19.4%. They also spend it on healthcare 7.8%, industry 6.8%, spirituality 5.8%, welfare 2.9%, public transport 3.9% and social policy at 1.9%. The very strong Frankenstein Islands economy is broadly diversified and led by the tourism industry. Along with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Misbehaving Inland taipans deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others. Most cities make more than 125 billion per year. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate.
Death
The leading causes of death are old age 38.7%, exposure 25.2, heart disease 15.6%, starvation 10.5%, capital punishment 7.3%, acts of God 2%, and lost in the wilderness at 0.7%. Dying from exposure is from not getting shots, staying in the cold or heat for too long and drinking dangerous substances when they know it is not health for them to do and have a risk of dying. Heart disease is when plaque buildup thickens and stiffens artery walls. It can inhibit blood flow through your arteries to your organs and tissues.
Description of Frankenstein Islands
Frankenstein Islands's national animal is the Inland Taipan. The reason Inland Taipan is the Frankenstein Islands National animal because Orabelle Barnes really favorited that type of snake. She had seen it while traveling through Australia and even though it is an extremely venomous snake, she took a liking to it. Orabelle wore a snake ring on her right hand on her pointer finger. That ring represented the Inland Taipan. It can be seen in the most famous portrait of her when she is wearing a green dress and holding one of her swords on her shoulder. The native languages are French, English and Bulgarian. The ethic groups within the nation is 31% Huxian, 19% Russian, 13% Italian, 11% Doradas, 10% Bulgarian, 8% French, 7% Welch and less than 1% is Cherokee. When the Huxians heard about the native Americans that were being treated badly they sent a few ships to see if they would like to come live with them in peace. Only one third of the Cherokees came on the boats. From there they sailed to other countries such as Russia, Bulgaria, France, Italy and Wales to find the mistreated people and, with their consent, bring them back to Frankenstein Islands. Some Americans came on board too and they helped influence the country. That is why there are many American titles and objects used by the Huxians. The Doradas are the people of El dorado. They are allies with Frankenstein Islands and that is why some Doradas live with Huxians. Huxians are the native people of Frankenstein Islands. They have lived there for many, many generations and are extremely loyal to their government. Huxians tend to be tall and have varieties of brown hair colors. Huxians were named after Armitage Hux, who died while defending the nation becuase of his loyalty. He was born in Armitage, hence why he was named Armitage Hux. Even though Hux had buisness in places far, far away from Frankenstein Islands he still helped whenever he could. He grew up learning stories of norse mythology and idoloized some of the gods and godesses. When he was 25 he left Frankenstein Islands to search and learn more about norse mythology. Armitage started a for people to worship the gods and goddesses. He later died while defending Frankenstein Islands and the group. "Rock People" were based off of how the Huxians used to dress. They are known throughout the world but barely anyone has information about them rather then about how they used to dress, where they live and that they have the purest type of blood. Frankenstein Islands is a republic. A republic is a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch. So each city would vote for a representative to be the president of the nation. It has two parties, the Republican and the Democrat. Orabelle Barnes was the first President and Emma Astro is the 55th and the current Prime Minister is Sir Armando Salazar. Frankenstein Islands is an underground nation and its capital, Armitage, is at 17°27′25″N 106°17′15″E/17.45694°N 106.28750°E. Armitage is the capital of Frankenstein Islands. It comes from the Old French word 'hermite', and from the Greek word 'eremos', which in englsih meaning solitary. The reason the capital was named Armitage, which is an Old French word that translates to solitary, was becuase when Orabelle Barnes first started the nation there was only ten people who joined her at first until the next year later when she and the others were able to convince others to come with them. Frankenstein Islands has an area of a total of 183,569 sq mi and, its water percentage is 1.3. The largest and most republican city is Lucius which is about 100 miles north of Armitage. Lucius in latin means "light". So the city was called Lucius becuase even though they were undergorund they had lots of light and were capable to make things shine as if they were in direct sunlight. There has been a lot of etymology since the late 1700’s. A lot of it coming from social media such as TikTok. For example ‘drip’ now means several things in Frankenstein Islands. 1. (v.) let fall or be so wet as to shed small drops of liquid. 2. (n.) a small drop of a liquid. 3. (n.) a weak and ineffectual person. 4. (n.) a projection or groove on the underside of a cornice, windowsill, or molding that prevents rain from running down the wall below. 5. (adj.) description of a someones clothing. Frankenstein Islands is surrounded by Vietnam and is located in an underground cave. It is actually quite bright down there because of the house lights, lampposts, and sunlight. It still gets dark at night though due go everyine turning off their lights. It is light enough that you can faintly see where you are waking without a flashlight or the light from the lampposts. The ground is flat and it is not much of a hike to the entrance of the nation to visit the outside world. Citizens are free ti keave at anytime they like. Hills of soft rock and grass inhabit the inside along with farm animals. The walls and ceiling of the cave are of a smooth stone and olny has a 0.1% of collapsing or falling anytime soon.
Ancient History
The founder of the nation is Orabelle Barnes. Orabelle Barnes was born in 1729 in Bulgaria but lived in Enlgand. She grew with Samuel Seabury until 1754 when she left Britian to travel the word. While traveling she found two lands in present day Vietnam that were both underground. Orabelle decided that those locations would be good for a new nation. That was when Frankenstein Islands was created. She led people away from Britian to join her and by 1760 she had a few hundred people in the two lands she had found. Later ships from Frankenstein Island would travel the world to find the mistreated and bring them to the nation. She made a foolish mistake by sending a letter to best friend, Seabury, telling him all about it. In 1763 Britian declared war against Frankenstein Islands because King George lll did not like that she was taking people away from him. (Orabelle was trained with guns, knifes and bow and arrows. She used to serve for the British as a soldier until she was nearly caught.) Suprisingly they declared independece from the British and stayed in their location. Orabelle Barnes died in 1703 due to old age. Frankenstein Islands is the English translation of остров Франкенщайн which is Bulgarian. The Bulgarian language is used for a few major things but has been translated to English due to the non native and non Bulgarian speakers not being able to pronounce the titles. Frankenstein Islands had declared independence from England on January 8, 1781. When the Huxians wanted independence a war broke out and they nearly lost but pulled through and fought off the British. One of the most popular soldiers from the war is Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette. Frankenstein Islands motto is French, ‘chaque méchant est un héros dans son espritсе’, and it translates to ‘Every villain is a hero in their own mind’. This motto has many meanings. The most popular meaning of it is that people may think that they are doing the right thing and others criticize them but in reality everyone makes mistakes. The nation anthem name in Bulgarian is ‘Под земята’ and it means ‘Underground’ in english. Many newcomers to Frankenstein Islands do not understand the meaning of the anthem. The national anthem was written by David Bowie and it symbolizes Frankenstein Islands in the underground. It is from the point of view of a child and their sibling that lives in the nation. The nation used to be in a different location that was also underground. The natives, who were called Huxian, were well liked by most but LeslieLand and Thebest nation did not. These nations were jealous of how successful Frankenstein islands was. So, one eerie night their armies planted explosives around the underground nation. The siblings in the song represent the children that were killed and they are saying, “Get me out of here”. The dad represents the parents trying to save their kids and get them to safety. Over 3,000 people died that night. The families that survived fled to the north to the their other claimed land. The nation got its name from a famous scientist that lived near by and would create these wonderful things. One day he decided to make a man. It was ugly but the creature had a nice heart but it soon lost its niceness. Due to the punishments by the scientist, lack of human contact and not being taught anything, it started to do not so nice things. Instead of saving a girl from drowning like it had previously did, it would purposely drown people and kill others. Yet there was still that kind heart there but just not as much as it had been. Frankenstein Islands took the name of the creature and put it as the nation’s name as tribute to the torture and pain that the creature had to go through. He may have been the villain of the story but he was still liked by many.
About the Flag
The colorsof the flag, black, green and gray, are in horizontal lines. Each color represents something about the nation. Black represents power, authority and elegance. Green represents health. The color gray represents loss. The dark green thing in the middle of the flag is a French symbol and it means ‘imagination’. The flag was designed and made by Lafayette when he helped Frankenstein Islands declare independence from England.
Enemies, Allies and Trading Partners
Frankenstein Islands' The enemies of the Frankenstein Islands are Shrek Land, LeslieLand, Donkeyland, and Thebest nation. These nations have different reasons for why they are enemies. Shrek Land and Donkeyland have invaded the towns forcing all the citizens to watch Shrek movies 1,2,3 and 4. These barbaric nations also forced the people to dress up and recite the movies word for word. It took 4 days to get rid of them for good. The Frankenstein Islands now have forbidden anyone from those nations to step on the land and if they do they shall be executed. LeslieLand and Thebest nation started Nation War 1, 2 and 3 in a span of just 10 years to try to have ownership over the underground nation and drove them out of their original location. Their actions led to the making of the national anthem. Fortunately, Frankenstein Islands had an impeccable military at the time and defeated every nation who declared war with them. They also had strong allies to help them such as El dorado and The Kingdom of the Kingdom of Ataraxia. Althought The Kingdom of the Kingdom of Ataraxia and El dorado don't get along they were still allies with Frankenstein Islands. The Kingdom of the Kingdom of Ataraxia helped give good battle strategies. A treaty had been made back in 1789 after The Revolutionary War ended and all were frightened that King George lll would come after their lands. The Huxians also had a trading partner, the Nation of Canessia.
Military
Frankenstein Islands’ military is very, very strong seeing as all the citizens are trained when they are little and most continue learning defense until they are about 30. A lot of the citizens end up joining the military because of their undying love and pride of their nation. It specializes in guns, bow and arrows and knives. They are used as tribute to their founder Orabelle Barnes. The armed forces have specialized guns made by a local company of the nation. Frankenstein Islands has the best weaponry in the world. This is becuase since they live in a cave underground not many people go there so instead they observed other nations and created things beyond the minds' imgaitnation. Plus, they didn't share their information, ideas and thoughts with anyone except the peope of their own nation.
Achievements
The Huxians have achieved many things that other nations around the world haven't been able to yet. For everyday life color changing paint for walls has been made so if you want to change the color of it you don't have to move furniture or cover anything with tarps. Although if the walls hadn't been painted with it het you woukd have to paint it once so you could download the app and be able to change the color. You would still have to buy the color from a company but you could preview it first and the prices are cheaper. Fast food joints have been gifted with drones that fly to the buyers home so ghey don't have to leave the house if they were sick for example. For the armed forces a few specialized weapons that seem almost out of a SyFy movie have been created. There are portable cannons that can be held and still shoot like normal cannon but with the kickback. Machine guns and AR-15s are able to shoot over a thousand bullet within seconds and never jam. They are the most precise guns within the nation and can shoot from over 100 feet away. Frankenstein Islands was also the first nation to get to space but since they didn't share a lot of things with others, otber nations didn't kmow that they had already accomplished that. They were able to reach outer space in 1843.
Medieval History
In the Medieval times almost everyone that was around them were a monarchy. Frankenstein Islands wasn’t like the others. The people didn't want their nation to become a monarhcy. The reason why Orabelle Barnes left England was because she didn’t want to be ruled by a monarchy. She thought people should be able to vote for who ever they wanted as their leader. A monarchy is when one person rules the land until they die. So she created Frankenstein Islands. Orabelle made it so the nation would be a republic.
Religions
Norse Mythology and Christianity are the most practiced religions within Frankenstein Islands. Norse Mythology is the base of myths of many cultures. It consists of sorties of various gods and goddesses, creatures, and heroes derived from numerous sources. Christianity is the worlds oldest and largest functioning institution that is practiced all over the world. The Catholic Church teaches that is is the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ.

People Mentioned
King George lll was England’s longest ruling monarch before Queen Victoria. He was born in 1738 and died 1820 and he ascended the British throne in 1760. George III became king of Great Britain and Ireland in 1760 after his grandfather’s, George II, death. A year after his coronation, George married to Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who was the daughter of a German duke. It was a political union but a fruitful one. The two people of royalty met the day of the wedding. Queen Charlotte gave birth to 15 children. In 1764 Prime Minister George Grenville introduced the Stamp Act as a way of raising revenue in the American colonies. The act was opposed in America, especially by the those whose paper would be taxed. Parliament rejected the act two years later. The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The next year, the Declaration of Independence laid out the Americans’ case for freedom, portraying George III as an inflexible tyrant who had squandered his right to govern the colonies. In reality the situation was more complex. The parliament ministers, not the crown, were responsible for colonial policies, though George still had means of direct and indirect influence. The king was reluctant to come to terms with his army’s defeat in the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The 1783 Treaty of Paris recognized the United States and ceded Florida to Spain. In 1778 George slowly turned insane that last months. King George III died blind, deaf and insane on January 29, 1820. His illnesses may have been caused by porphyria, an inherited metabolic disorder, though a 2005 analysis of hair samples suggested arsenic poisoning.
