The '''[[Bear Peninsula]]''' (74°35′S 111°00′W) is a peninsula about 80 km (50 mi) long and 40 km (25 mi) wide which is [[ice]] covered except for several isolated rock bluffs and outcrops along its margins, lying 48 km 30 mi) east of [[Martin Peninsula]] on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]].
'''[[Hooverville]]''' is a city in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It is the only permanent structure in the entire colony. The [[Count of Dendtler]] is the Mayor of Hooverville. It lies within the Barony of Bastanchury in the [[Principality of Bohemia]]. During the [[Invasion of Calsahara|Liberation of Calsahara]], Hooverville was considered a vital target for the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]]. Shortly after [[Otisburg]] was overrun, the Royal Guards marched on Hooverville and victory was proclaimed from the house's broken steps.


The peninsula was first delineated from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy]] Operation Highjump in January 1947, and was named after the ice-ship USS ''Bear'', flagship of the U.S. [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service, from which three reconnaissance flights were made in late February 1940, resulting in the discovery of the [[Walgreen Coast]] (with probable sighting of this feature) and the [[Thurston Island]] area.


This ship, under the name ''Bear of Oakland'', also served as flagship of Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]] from 1933-35.
