'''[[Desert Homestead Province]]''' is a province of the [[Republic of Molossia]] located in western San Bernardino County, about 31 km (19 mi) northeast of the town of Yucca Valley, California. Desert Homestead is exactly five acres in size and is open low desert, with mostly sand, scrub brush and creosote bushes. It lies on a low ridge not far from Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree, California, and is near to the Twenty-nine Palms Marine Corps Base and Joshua Tree National Monument.
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]].


On 9 December 2018, [[Grand Duke Travis]] paid an informal visit to Desert Homestead for a day of quiet relaxation on [[Republic of Molossia|Molossia]]'s [[sovereignty|sovereign]] soil. Upon arrival, he discovered that the paving stones that comprise Baugh Terrace and the solar lights that light the terrace had all been stolen by desert dwelling thieves. His Royal Highness was quite distressed and immediately called [[President Kevin Baugh|President Baugh]] to report the theft. The President concluded it was bound to happen eventually and the two leaders discussed the possibility of sinking the pavers in concrete on a future visit.

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.
