History
In 1999, Mr. Neme from somewhere in what is now Eastshield was thinking about "something" on a very hot and sunny morning. He thought about the king of the land, who kept forcing penguins to pay him money every day. Mr. Neme was very angry, so his asked his fellow townspeople to follow him to a new place, where they get independence and their things. Therefore, he set sail on his trusty ship, Lous Alous a.k.a. Lousa, My Boat. They sailed for days and nights till they accidentelly knocked into something, causing the ship to sink. The townspeople swam out and nobody perished. And guess what the saw? Yes, it was the land. They happily swam ashore and started to build a large port with the tools they saved during the sinking. The population increased in numbers. They soon built buildings and have sufficient food and items. Mr. Neme was crowned the kind of the country. However, in 2000, the land in Eastshield started entering the borders, seizing one by one. It was renamed as Louk-Amoul. In 2001, somewhere in January, the king of the land in ??? was overthrown. A new king, named Bersen, allowed independence to the island again. Mr. Neme now had to think of a name. He said: "I think that because 3 quarters of the penguins are like Margate citizens (Margate is another country in another FANON wiki, we should name this, MARGATE ANTARCTICA ISLAND"-Mr. Neme annoucing in 2001 That was how the penguins lived in harmony and contributed to their island the best of the best. In 2002, they had fallen into the [[Sherby Hoodwound War. They were going to be conquered by Sherby Hoodwounds, but fought back and defeated them in 2003. In 2008, they made an agreement for being accepted to USA in Late 2009, but, the agreement was cancelled due to arguements by citizens. However, they were the best of friends. Later in November, they have made a merger with Sherby Hoodwounds and Margate Cross Island for being accepted into the country. Also, USA asked the republic to sign the treaty of Dorkugal. Yes.

Local games include Seven Stones (parody of Five Stones),which is played by throwing rocks to other rocks to hit the stone in the circle out, ChaCha Lua and Flowers Frangipani (despite the name, there are no frangipanis in this game).

Economy and Currency
After looking up in the so-called site of "Wikipedia", they ranged to use the Dollar (or $) as their national currency. However, their coins are grouped as "Postan", formerly the national currency (2001-2007). $1 equals to 100 coins, and 30 Postan equals to 30 Coins. Just like that.

Though the third richest country, before USA and Dorkugal, the whole country needs an amount of money to run the economy smoothly. As they need help, they have produced a system. They needed foreign relations for better economy, and have also decided to be part of USA's Free Republics. They also made a port which imports goods, and have taxing every year. Also, they have merged and set up each island with it's own government, which improves far more. This system is made by the government.

Goverment
The goverment consists of three parties unlike USA. The Penguins United Party (PUP), Democratic Alliance of Margate Penguins (DAMP), and the Penguins Power Party (PPP). There are voting polls in all 8 so called "states". The party with the most votes in each state will be combined and the winning party will have 80%, the 2nd 15% and the losing 5%. There are 175 seats in the country's goverment. Currently, the winning party is PUP, followed by PPP and DAMP.
