The '''[[Barony of Brandenburg]]''' is one of three baronies inside the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. Baron of Brandenburg is a peerage title in the [[Nobility of Calsahara]]. Its motto is: "The Gateway to Calsahara." The barony's name was derived from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Brandenburg Concertos by Bach. Many of the places in Calsahara were named in honor of movies and songs, and Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is [[Grand Duke Travis]]' favorite song.
The '''[[Brown Skua]]''' is a large seabird that breeds in the subantarctic and [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] zones and moves further north when not breeding.


Brandenburg is a narrow strip of land located on the border with the United States. It runs along the shore of the [[Seven Seas of Rhye]] inside the Duchy of Chutney and Monte Cristo County. The barony is an important place in Calsahara as it contains the only navigable entry and exit point to enter or leave the colony in a vehicle. This point, a natural depression which sometimes floods, is called "the Brandenburg Gate," although there is no gate present. It is located entirely inside the [[Principality of Rhye]].
Brown skuas are masters of piracy, they often feed by stealing partially digested fish from the the beaks of other birds.

The Brown Skua is a large seabird that breeds in the subantarctic and Antarctic zones and moves further north when not breeding.

Brown skuas are masters of piracy, they often feed by stealing partially digested fish from the the beaks of other birds. Their victims are typically terns or penguins, though other fish-eating species are also pursued until they disgorge their catches. The fact that skuas are swift and agile fliers (and that they sometimes gang up on a single victim) aid in their success rate. This is the heaviest species of skua and rivals even the largest gulls as the heaviest species in the shorebird order although not as large in length or wingspan.
