Brief history:
Pen Island is an island that has been trying to build themselves from scratch, coming from very humble origins, they've been trying to hide their existence from the rest of the esteemed NSC continent. One day, explorers found out about the civilisation and urged this mini country to introduce themselves to the rest by joining the famous Nation Song Contest.
Since languages and music are two things lots of Penislanders are really fond of, the Penislandic Electronic Entertainment Network was established and would be responsible of the entertainment industry on the island and everything concerning the Penile participation in NSC in particular.
Before every edition, all demi-presidents of the 12 districts of Pen Island come together to choose a suitable representant to wave the island's colours at NSC. This usually happens internally, in order to surprise Internatia, but exceptions have been made in the past!
Some more info on the 12 regions of Pen Island:
Verdzi:
This is were most construction workers come from. If you see buildings, roads etc. on the island, you can be sure it has been constructed by citizens of Verdzi. Because of their hard work their physique is outstanding and, not entirely surprisingly, most famous sportsmen and women come from this part of the island.
K'uro:
The financial section of the island is in good hands with them. K'uronians are the founders of the banks of the island, they know when aD should be spent (or not). They are one of the kindest and cosiest people and in their disctrict you'll find shelter, but don't hurt or betray them or you'll get evicted out of their homes and lives and never be let in again. Expect no mercy.
Marchbivi:
The fact that the head of PEN originates from this district says it all. Wether it's on or behind the scenes, Marchbivi people are bound to have something to do with it, both when it comes to entertainment or more serious journalism. A great part of them are linguïsts, dedicating their time to unravel the mysteries of other languages spoken in Internatia. Moreover, given their talent to play with words, some of the best lawyers in Pen Island are Marchbivian.
K'irchkhibi:
When a K'irchkhibi takes care of you, you're in good hands. They were the first one to see the need for daycares, homes for the elderly and all care you might need in between. ''Home'' is their keyword and it may not surprise you a lot of home decorators are found among them.
Lomi:
The true Samaritans among the Penilian people. Although this is quite a wealthy disctrict, they got the hugest of hearts and will never hestitate to help someone in need. People who aren't doing a lot for charity are mildly frowned upon here, they make sure everyone gets what they deserve.
Kalts'uli:
If you visit your local doctor, you can bet he has been born in Kalts'uli. They dedicated their lives to perfectioning healthcare and, given they're the most meticulous of Pen Island's citizens, your life is in the best hands one could wish for.
A great deal of lawmakers can be found here as well.
Sasts'ori:
Whereas Kalts'ulians are the ones wording the law, Sasts'orians are the body of the legal system. Many Marchbivian lawyers try hard to move the minds of the ever fair Sasts'orian judges. It might take them some time to come up with a final decision, but when it's done, it's final, because there's no way a Sasts'orian hasn't thought literally everything through.
Ghriank'ali:
You don't even dare think escaping the preying eyes of a Ghriank'alian. They know what you've done and as many of them make up the police force of the island, you'll be in the jails they built themselves in no time. Their aim is to let no crime go unpunished, to make Pen Island, a safer island.
Mshvildosani:
If you've been taught something by a Mshvildosani, you've been taught well. Most of them become teachers, completely in synch with their remarkable talent to pass on knowledge. Out of all citizens, these people have seen most of Internatia. These are people you actually want to listen to, as every sentence they produce, is a new adventure.
Thkis Rka:
More than half of the parliament is made up out of these citizens. They are the most serious of all citizens, who seem to have been born with a sense of responsibility and ambition. They try to give Pen Island a sense of security.
Merts'q'uli:
The mad scientists (as if there are any other) of Pen Islands. They are the inventors and creators of the islands. The medicines prescribed by Kalts'ulians are made by them and the knowledge passed on by Mshvildosani has been found out by them. They are highly excentric, but well respected and if you get to know one, you'll have a hilarious friend for life.
The best composers of the island are found here and as music is a vital part of people's lives on the Pen Island, they are hugely looked up to.
Tevzebi:
People of Tevzebi feel highly responsible for nature and the environment. They dream of a better world and in the goodness and kindness of people. As a friend they are the most supportive kind and they are the sweetest lovers. No bouquet goes into stores without the loving hands of a Tevzebi having touched them and you can be sure perfume and chocolate on the island have their magic touch. They are the glue that holds Pen Island together.
