Goose Island is a state within the United Federation of the Terra Excelsior Republic. It has been a state since April 12, 2020, when it became one. Gus H. was a leading figure in making Goose Island a state. He pressured the president and chancellor to make it one. Both would approve the new state on April 12. April 12 would later become state day, and Gus would become the first governor of Goose Island.

The current flag of Goose Island has been used for the entirety of the state's existence, and was designed in 2021.

Very little happened in Goose Island until October of 2021. After Gus, still the governor, created the Engineering party, the state of Invictus, led by Silas W., declared war on Goose Island. Goose Island surrendered instantly, and Invictus would defeat Goose Island 2 more times that month.

Government

Goose Island is run by an elected governor. The governor has the power to create bills to change the law, but the state council (a council made up of all of the citizens of Goose Island except the governor) has to approve.

This is a list of the governors of Goose Island:

  1. Gus H.: April 12, 2020 - 2022
  2. Connor H.: 2023 -

Elections for governor are held once a year, on election day.

Abdication and Revolution

Following premier Gus' abdication as premier of Goose island and his temporary departure from the Excelsior Discord server, Goose Island was absorbed into Grandsia, and all Goose Island citizens became citizens of Grandsia. However, when Gus returned in November of 2023, he declared Goose Island to be a state once more, kicking off the Goose Island revolution, an ongoing conflict for the statehood of Goose Island. Connor H. is currently the governor of Goose Island due to the previous abdication of Gus, however his position is not recognized by all of Excelsior, due to Goose Island's current position.
