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 is a republic, with Roger-Pierre Shah as the current president, after he beat his own brother Pedro Del Mar in the elections 3 years ago.

It's a relatively small island, 130,284 people living on 5200 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.

Balearica Island debuted in the 42nd edition of the NSC, and reached their first final in the 43rd edition, after being voted thru as the Rest Jury Qualifier. The 2nd final was reached in the 50th edition, again as the Rest Jury Qualifier, but the island still managed to not only beat the 26th place personal best from NSC 42, but actually reach a top 12 finish, which is so far the best result ever for Balearica Island.

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.
