I have been exploring both here on Wittenberg as well as the El Regipäts Talossan website and the TalossaWiki. Very interesting reading, i have read the Organic Law and i have read the wiki pages of each province (some of which is quite humorous). I see that territory of Pengöpäts is basically unpopulated and i was wondering if this territory is open for vacations and such. The photos of the scenery look incredible to me. Seems like it would be a great place for a vacation, get lots of reading done and just relax. I suppose the noise from the locals might be a bit much though.
@Munditenens Tresplet is governor of pengopats I believe
As the Royal Governor, I'd be proud to welcome you to visit our fine territory. Be careful of the penguins though, they can be ornery.

1950 - French Antarctic Expedition
The first French station in Antarctica was named Port Martin and was established in January 1950 at Cape Margerie in Adelie Land. In January 1952 this base was severely damaged when a fire burnt down the main building. Fortunately no loss of life or injury was sustained and as it was during the summer period the personnel at Port Martin could be relocated to a newly built station around 60km away on Petrel Island, Base Marret. The now abandoned Marret base is now in Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) no.166. It is also designated as a Historic Site or Monument (HSM) no. 46.
