An '''[[iceberg]]''' is a large piece of freshwater [[ice]] that has broken off a [[glacier]] or an [[Ice-shelf|ice shelf]] and is floating freely in open water. It may subsequently become frozen into [[pack ice]] (one form of sea ice). As it drifts into shallower waters, it may come into contact with the seabed, a process referred to as seabed gouging by ice. About 90% of an iceberg is below the surface of the water.
The '''[[Supreme Diet]]''' was the legislative assembly of the [[Colony of Calsahara|Kingdom of Calsahara]] during the time it was an independent [[micronation]]. The building was a church in Yorba Linda, California. At the time it was utilized by the government of Calsahara, the head pastor was [[Grand Duke Travis]]' father-in-law.


In addition to size classification, icebergs can be classified on the basis of their shape. The two basic types of iceberg forms are tabular and non-tabular. Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top, much like a plateau, with a length-to-height ratio of more than 5:1. This type of iceberg, also known as an ice island, can be quite large, as in the case of Pobeda Ice Island. [[Antarctic]] icebergs formed by breaking off from an [[ice-shelf|ice shelf]], such as the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] or [[Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf]], are typically tabular. The largest icebergs in the world are formed this way.
Shortly after Calsahara was founded, Travis (at the time reigning as [[King of Calsahara|King Montage]]) realized the utility of having access to a large assembly hall for giving speeches and facilitating gatherings of Calsahara's citizens. Several of the Chancellors of Calsahara were also members of the church and even served in various administrative capacities, making it an ideal location to gather them together for public speeches.
 
All royal speeches were delivered from the pulpit of the sanctuary. During the speeches, the projection screen was lowered and the flag of Calsahara was displayed upon the screen behind King Montague as he spoke.

The Supreme Diet was the legislative assembly of the Kingdom of Calsahara during the time it was an independent micronation. The building was a church in Yorba Linda, California. At the time it was utilized by the government of Calsahara, the head pastor was Grand Duke Travis' father-in-law.

Shortly after Calsahara was founded, Travis (at the time reigning as King Montage) realized the utility of having access to a large assembly hall for giving speeches and facilitating gatherings of Calsahara's citizens. Several of the Chancellors of Calsahara were also members of the church and even served in various administrative capacities, making it an ideal location to gather them together for public speeches.

All royal speeches were delivered from the pulpit of the sanctuary. During the speeches, the projection screen was lowered and the flag of Calsahara was displayed upon the screen behind King Montague as he spoke.
