=Introduction= Party Island (which first gained notoriety in late 2016) originated as a band of hired miscreants unified only by their employer. While some joined the original group in order to escape a worse fate, many were attracted by the leader himself. Though arguably suffering from some form of psychosis, the individual in question frequently inspired those who came in contact.

=Etymology= The origin of the name Party Island derives from the greek goddess Partatia, the 6th daughter of Zeus who was birthed from a shark on the 20th of April. This figure is commonly said to represent the smoke of fires, or other forms of vapors. The thought behind her significance is unknown.

=History= Prejudice is rampant throughout the history of the small nation, even the flag depicts the people's distaste for “nerds”. Little is known about the exact origin of this age-old feud, though it can be presumed that some sort of civil war was responsible.

=Religious Artifacts= Though usually mild, the climate of Party Island has the potential to vary widely in both extremes. This, combined with a largely female population, unsurprisingly produced one of the most iconic relics of the region. An intricate tapestry adorns the throne of the island. It depicts a floral print, perhaps of native flowers from decades past, in the national colors of lavender, cream, and both light and dark green. The artisan behind the work is unknown. It doesn’t seem as though this holy relic belongs to any particular individual, it instead represents necessity and the sharing of wealth.

=Social Hierarchy= Much like a queen ant is to her colony, the island itself cannot exist without it’s commander in chief. The island only exists within the space where the leader decides to reside. This means that Party Island exists more as a formless idea than an actual geographical location.

=Demographics= 90% Honkeys, 10% Polish

=Culture= The island remains mostly uninhabited for a majority of time. It is extremely uncommon that any two individuals would reside on the island at the same time. The nature of these migratory patterns lead researchers to believe that though not unfriendly, remains antisocial (possibly a reflection of the leader).

=Geography= Party Island boasts some of the most unique geographic characteristics, not in it’s variety, but in its uniformity. The geography can best be described as a mesa plateau, with sheer cliffs and large, flat, open spaces. Rainfall has yet to be recorded on the island, which is most likely responsible for the total absence of any life forms other than the people who inhabit the island.

=Exports= Almost all resources consumed by the island must be imported, this includes non-insect food and water. The most successful export of Party Island includes, and is almost entirely limited to, homework.

=Economy= Though resources are scarce and exports nearly nonexistent, Party Island still manages a slight GDP. The meager economy is almost entirely reliant on tourism. 2016 manages to gross nearly $1.47, while 2017 is projected to either match or achieve slightly less that it’s previous year. As of January 2017, the nation has procured a respectable 17% of this goal with a total profit of 25 cents. Party Island’s economy is considered to be the most resilient of the surrounding islands. In fact, Party Island is the only island within the McCutcheon archipelago that manages to turn a profit. It’s estimated that on average a whopping 7-8 visitors travel from all over the world to marvel at the wonders of this unique country.
