Her Majesty, '''[[Queen Anastasia of Ruritania|Queen Anastasia Sophia Maria Helena von Rubenroth Elphberg of Ruritania]]''' is the monarch of the [[Kingdom of Ruritania]], a [[micronation]] based in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
The '''[[king penguin]]''' is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on [[krill]] and other crustaceans than most [[Southern Ocean]] predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of [[Antarctica]], South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in [[Westarctica]].


After ascending the throne in 2010, Queen Anastasia drastically altered the course of Ruritania's history by pursuing an aggressive outreach to other unrecognized nations. In a few short years, Ruritania gathered a large collection of allies and undertook a state visit to the [[Republic of Molossia]] in 2013. These acts of diplomacy culminated in 2017 when Ruritania co-hosted the second biennial [[MicroCon]] in Atlanta, Georgia. As host of [[MicroCon 2017]], the Queen and her daughters organized three days of activities and events for delegates visiting from all over the world.

The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.
