Visiting the Islamic Republic of the Koudeiland Islands

The Islamic Republic of the Koudeiland Islands is a democratic republic with conservative Islamic values and national isolationist ideological politics. Koudeiland is not recognized as an independent country by any nation, government, the UN, or NATO because Koudeiland is a very controversial country. This is because Koudeiland is located between South America and Antarctica and many countries which recognize Koudeiland as being in Antarctica instead of South America claim that the existence of Koudeiland violates the Antarctic treaty which was signed to keep countries from fighting over Antarctica and to protect Antarctic wildlife and says that no nation may hold claims to land in Antarctica. Even without breaking internationally recognized treaties by simply existing, Koudeiland is still very controversial due to the period of time in the 1990s when Koudeiland blew up Argentinian fishermen in their boats when they were caught fishing in Koudeilandic waters and also in the 1980s, as a response to the Falklands War nearby, when a paranoid Koudeilandic nation sent spies to Argentina for nation security threat assessment.

Koudeiland sits on 210 square miles of land. The Koudeiland Archipelago has many mountains, valleys, fjords, canyons, and glaciers. Koudeiland has a population of 60 000+ people are 40 000+ of those people live in the city of Pinguïn Kreek which is Koudeiland's capital city. Pinguïn Kreek, Koudeiland is also the largest city in Koudeiland. The Koudeilandic people are a mix of Pakistani, Malaysian, Indonesian, Arabian, Persian, Russian, Chechen, Norwegian, and Dutch people who are all collectively referred to as Koudeilandic people. 56% of people in Koudeiland are Muslims making Islam the largest religion in Koudeiland but there are also many Christians and Pagans.

Traveling to Koudeiland can only be done by private boat or seaplane from nearby Argentina or sometimes the United States. Koudeiland's Southeast and Northwest are all connected by one highway called Penguin Fjord Highway and a set of parallel railroad tracks called Penguin Fjord Railway which is Koudeiland's cargo and public transportation trains. The Southwest of Koudeiland remains mostly uninhabited due to rough terrain and constantly frozen fjords. People in Koudeiland who don't use the highway and rail line bridge and tunnel systems must otherwise traverse the archipelago by boat or seaplane. Koudeiland has one unregistered strip of just which is unofficially named Koudeiland International Airport which flies in rare foreign aid and Koudeilandic Americans from the US state of Virginia who return to see family. The US state of Virginia has the largest population of people from Koudeiland in the USA. Koudeiland's national animal is the Orca and the Penguin. Koudeiland's national fruit is the Gülbå fruit which grows on vines during Winter beneath the snow and ice. Gulba Fruit or Gülbå fruit has an orange or red colored rind which is blue and full or black seeds on the inside and is one of the only naturally ocurring blue fruits in nature. Every year, between Mid-March and Early-April, the Koudeiland Fur Seal Festival takes place and people celebrate by climbing on icebergs and sword fighting each other with icicles and screaming at each other and pushing each other off of the icebergs at night while the first major Aurora appears. The last person on the iceberg becomes known as the Aurora King or Queen and wins money, a years worth of free food from any restaurant on the islands, and bragging rights. People also have icicle-throwing javelin contests. I love Koudeiland and I am proud to be Koudeilandic.
