| San Juan de Castellán is an overseas territory in [[Antarephia]] that belongs to the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]]. It consists solely of the city and island of San Juan surrounded entirely by the [[Kofuku]] Republic. It has 20 820 inhabitants and 1.54 square kilometres. Its population is mainly Kofukens in 70%, Grise-Thirranics 24%, and the rest is Castellanese 6%. The official language is the [[Castellanese]] and many people speak [[Ingerish]]. The city is less than 20 km from Fiork city, the closest city of [[Kofuku]]. The eagles are the city symbol and it is in its flag because there are a lot of these animals that live here.
| |
| =History=
| |
| [[File:Gibraltar from the Straits.png|thumb|left|Old draw of San Juan]] Before 1772 only 10 people approx lived in this island. This island and the rest of northern Kofuku was an Ingerish colony. The castellaneses had a lot of military confrontations in this area because of the control of the waters. The Kofuken colony was right between [[Castellan]] and their colonies [[Tárrases]] and [[Ginnungaoyar]] ''“(Islas Ballenas)”''. In that year the castellanese crown decided to fight the Ingerish but the war wasn’t successful and they only managed to conquer an island in the northern coast. They built a tow in this island and named it San Juan.
| |
| San Juan was founded in 24 of June of 1695 in the day of San Jhon ''(San Juan in Castellanese)'', thats where the name comes from.
| |
| | |
| In the Kofuku Revolution ''1815'' almost all of [[Kofuku]] got the independence. In the independence, treaty Kofuku claimed all Ingerish colonial possessions in Kofuku. San Juan wasn’t under Ingerish rule so it didn’t got claimed. From this moment it became one of the main military and commercial outpost of [[Castellán]]. From 1815 to 1936 it remained as an overseas territory of [[Castellán]].
| |
| | |
| In 1936 a civil war started in [[Castellán]]. San Juan was in the side of the fascist army, Kofuku was neutral, and the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]] was in the Castellanese Republic side. Grise-Thirran conquered the city back to the Castellanese Republic. In 1939 the war ended with the victory of the fascist army. San Juan was left without a country and because of Grise-Thirran army was already there, they annexed it. From now on, it belongs to the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]]
| |
| | |
| From 1975 to today it is an important commercial city of Grise-Thirran and haves very friendly links with [[Kofuku]]

| |
| ====Castle of the Rock====
| |
| [[File:CastleOfTheRock.jpg|thumb|350px|left]] The Castle of the Rock ''Castillo del Peñon'' was built in 1720 by order of the local governor. It was built to protect the city against boats. Their cannons could destroy a boat from a long distance due to the altitude of the castle.
| |
| | |
| One curiosity of this castle is that it haves never been conquered and the cannons still work. In the local festive day, a cannon with only gunpowder is fired.
| |
| | |
| From 1890 to 1964 the castle was abandoned and in 1965 it was opened as a museum.
| |
| | |
| The museum insides show the history of San Juan and many historical objects.

To access the cemetery and all this part of the cemetery there is a tunnel of 300 m crossing under the airport runway. The cemetery haves this name because it is in the Cape Virgen del Sur. The closest point to the north of San Juan.

| |
| [[File:Pigeon Point Lighthouse (2016).jpg|thumb|350px|left|]] The light of this lighthouse is the first thing that the boats sees in the night arriving in San Juan or any part of Fiork from the sea. It haves always had a meaning for fishermen and sailors because seeing this means that they are safe and near home.
| |
| | |
| It was built in 1645 even before the city and it's the oldest building in San Juan. In 1820, 1962 and 2007 it was restored to conserve it in good conditions. The actual lighthouse is still working and is also a museum.

When the old church was burned in a fire the Pope ordered to build a cathedral in the same place. [[Castellán]] and [[Kofuku]] raised a lot of money to build it and restore all the city of San Juan that was declining in those times. The result was this wonderful cathedral.

| |
| | |
| ''How is the government elected:'' In the first, the San Juan citizens vote one of the multiple parties. Later the most voted party needs to reach 50% of votes by allying with other parties. When some parties reach the 50% the head of the most voted party becomes Major and the head of the next most voted and the allied party becomes Vice Major. The Major and Vice Major select the group of people that are going to form the government with them. In a different part the Assembly of Parties of 20 persons is formed with the percentages of votes. For example, if a party gets 10% of votes it will have 2 seats in the Assembly of Parties.

| ===Diplomacy===
| |
| [[File:EMBASSY OF SRI LANKA, WASHINGTON D.C..jpg|thumb|left|Consulate of [[Kofuku]] in San Juan]] Due to how close they are and their link, [[Kofuku]] haves a consulate in San Juan. Almost five thousand people cross the border from [[Kofuku]] to San Juan everyday to work and visit it. The consulate also manages the border with San Juan in the Kofuku side. They have an agreement with the San Juan government. In it the San Juan citizens and Kapstrand citizens can cross the border without passports, only with the identification card but only if they go by train. Also, the Kapstrand and San Juan police work together in many of the operations against smuggling. | |
| | |
| San Juan is one of the cities in the world and the first in the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]] with more delinquency. Especially with robbed vehicles and guns smuggling. This is why in the border guns are not allowed to pass and vehicles are very observed. This is why many people from [[Kofuku]] use the train to cross the border.

The [[Kofuku]] government and the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]] made an agreement, in it the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]] could invade the aerial space of [[Kofuku]] but the only civil airline to make commercial flights will be [[Dumbo Star]].

It is just a normal harbour, but in it, there have been docked some of the greatest boats of the past 200 years. The north-east part of the harbour is the most used. There are private boats and yachts docked in there. The north-west and all south part are for large boats, and the east part is for mixed-use. In the east there is the dock of the ferry line that connects San Juan and [[Aragansa]], one of the main ports of the [[Grise-Thirranic Commonwealth]]. Also there are the speed boats of the San Juan police.

| The governments of [[Kofuku]] and San Juan have an agreement, by which the San Juan civil and police boats can pass trough Kofuku’s waters without permission. But they can't get out of the San Juan Security Waters without the permission of the Kapstrand police. Also [[Kofuku]] haves its own speed boat police that goes through San Juan Security Waters and outside it, but needs the permission of the San Juan Police to enter in Castellán’s waters.
