Introduction and Overview of New Kitstria

New Kitstria is an island in the south Pacific that is geographically in the middle of nowhere, halfway between New Zealand and Chile. However, politically it is a part of the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands. Despite its immense size, it has remained unpopulated because it has no minerals, poor fishing, and poor logging, therefore any residents would have a hard time getting by so far from civilization. The only human life ever present were meterologists and scientists in a small station to the eastern tip of the island.

However, that all changed one day.

With the formation of OPEC, the United States was scrambling to find oil resources to offput the expensive foreign oil. It was then discovered that the island, though poor in minerals, fish, and lumber, was sitting atop a liquid gold reserve that would put Barrow's Point in Alaska to shame.

With this discovery, many American-based oil companies were eager to set up oil platforms and get the crude flowing. However, they would need workers. Many came for the high wages earned working an oil-derrick in such a far off land. Along with them came their families and soon New Kitstria grew into a modern colony.

More to come! (Including in-game pics)

Cool, so I'm not the only to fantasize about some kind of fictional place being located at the spot you describe.

I believe that's actually the most distant point from land anywhere in Earth's Oceans, between Chile and New Zealand, correct?

 Great Introduction! I like that you mentioned Chile, because I live there (and yes, i was on the earthquake). I hope to see some treats with Chile 

The island looks great ;)
