Saltee Island

Saltee Island is a small volcanic plug that has been asleep for millions of years. The island became independent in 1768, because the Treudaue family annoyed the English king to death. So, the king told the family's head, Nicholas Treudaue, that his family was being sent there, and that he could rule without the English consent. Seeing that the island was a big chunk o' granite, they built their own keep, and the wood came from Irish trade. Soon, gold was found on the island, and it's economy shot off. He population rose to 347, and then the island became very crowded. The king decided to start building into the island itself, and his plan worked perfectly. In 1973, the island changed it's government to an absolute monarchy, and the constitution was destroyed by the king. The current population is 421, and the current king is Ronald Treudaue.
