Hi everybody!!! I will be posting my work on this page. If anyone wants to give me any ideas or objections, you can post it up. So far, I don't have many ideas. But things will keep adding up.


 * Island Name:** Colossal Island. It used to be kernel island, but I found it too hard to draw a map that looks like a piece of corn.


 * Origin of Name:** We haven't really thought of it yet, but colossus means big, so it's basically called Big Island, but you have to agree that Colossal Island is way cooler. (If Richard, Kevin, or Bryson have any objections, write them down!) It got discovered in the early 1900's by John "manly" Jones, who's parents were from french. When he was older, airplanes was a pretty new invention, so he decided to buy one and fly it to alaska. When he was just off Seattle, his plane went rigid. He had no choice but to use the emergency exit. When he landed, he realized that he was on a island with no one living on it. He stayed on that island for a month before anyone found him. Since the island was so big, he decided to name it Colossal Island.


 * Population:** I thought that our group should say that Colossus Island is an island with mostly north american people live there, because our island is very close to Seattle. But there are some french people there too, because John "manly" Jones, the guy who discovered the island, there parents were french immigrants. So the french came because they want to see what the french/english man discovered. Our group hasn't really decided how many people are on the island.


 * Official Languages:** Well, our group only thought of one so far and it is English. We definitely have to have french, because the discoverer was part french. And there will probably be a tinsy weensy part that is spanish, because spanish is the third most spoken language in the WORLD!! (Thank you Senora Hartzell!!) But some people in my group are still fighting over if we should have chinese or not. What do you think, guys???? (meaning everyone who looks at this.)


 * Location:** The island is located 45 degrees North, and 135 degrees West.


 * Capital City:** I was thinking of a name like Techno City. It is the capital because that is the place in the whole island that has the most technology. It will have all the new game systems, computers, cars, etc. It will probably be located in the top left in our island. (maybe)
