Balearica Island



Balearica Island is an island nation in the NSC, and debuted in NSC 42.

About Balearica Island
The capital city is San Antonio, which is the second largest city on the island. San Antonio has a big harbour area, which is where most of the Balearica Island business takes place. Niavara is the biggest city, but most of the people from Niavara work in the San Antonio area. The biggest hall is the Sun Lounge, located at the San Antonio Harbour, and can handle up to 17,000 people.

Balearica Island started off as an anarchy, but in the late 30's it changed into a democratic republic, and Roger Shah won the first election, and ruled the island for 50 years. Rob Halford surprisingly won in the late 80's, and has ruled since. The people of Balearica Island doesn't like change.


 * Roger-Pierre Shah (first democratic winner, introduced the current flag and participation in the NSC, NSC 39-89)


 * Robert John Arthur Halford (opened a new direction in the NSC, adding more diversity, NSC 90-157)
 * Jean-Michel André Jarre (NSC 158-)

It's a relatively small island, 130,284 people living on 7048 km². English is the official language, due to a high number of foreign immigrants, but a lot of languages are spoken among the people on the island. However, everyone agrees that the true language of Balearica Island is the language of music.

The flag is a modified version of the Magic Island logo. Magic Island is Roger Shah's record label on Armada Music, and also the name of his weekly radio show on DI.fm, where he plays 2 hours of trance and balearic every Friday.

INK (the northern part of Paperland) held their National Final for NSC 103 on Balearica Island. As a result of this, and a sign of the good friendship between the nations, the main road around Balearica Island has been renamed "INK Road".

Balearica Island in other languages:


 * Aimūllian: Bâlëárïcà Ïslånd (NSC 140)


 * Begonian (Naniuk): Pauieárixuk Ǫkka (NSC 124)

Twin nation with Azurion in Alternatia.
 * French: Île-Balearique (NSC 116)
 * Japanese: Barearika Isurando (NSC 66)
 * Turkish: Soner Arıca Adası (NSC 117)

Misc
113 entries to the NSC, reached 33 finals (as of NSC 158)

27 spinoff entries (plus 3 Congratulations entries), 3rd in the Melodic Picture Spinoff 2 is the best result

There was some internal controversy regarding the entry in NSC 53, where a different style of electronic music was chosen to represent the island. Balearica Island is a bit like Cyprus on Earth, it's a divided island. The part of Balearica Island that didn't use to show up on the postcards is a much darker side, with a very different type of sound. It's called Defqonia, and there had been rumours about Defqonian plans to invade the NSC, but they were never taken seriously. Balearica Island authorities did an investigation, and it turned out that the NSC minister was in fact born in Defqonia, and had been working on the "invasion" plans. And despite the chosen song not doing too good in NSC, the relationship between Defqonia and Mellonia-Salinas (the "postcard" side of the island) has improved, and previous conflicts seems to have been buried. Defqonia was also responsible for the first podium finish for Balearica Island, while the second one was a collaboration between Defqonia and Mellonia-Salinas. Then, for NSC 90, there was a drastic change in the NSC entries, after the presidential election won by Rob Halford. Electronic dance music would no longer be a top priority for Balearican entries, altho the entries were still considered dark, like the Defqonian entries. However, all 7 attempts failed, and Balearica Island failed to qualify in all editions from NSC 84 to 99, an NSC record in most failures to qualify in a row. Surprisingly enough, the following 5 entries were all in the final. President Rob Halford got his qualification in NSC 109, featuring on a song by Five Finger Death Punch.
