Piggy Island

Piggy Island is a country which is the home of the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies. It is also the environment that they live in, and it is the main location. The exact location of Piggy Island is a mystery, but Rovio claims that it has been designed to reflect elements of just about every location in the real world. The creation of Piggy Island was claimed to be a vital step in the expansion of the brand. The games originally gave a small glimpse at the world, but afterward, Piggy Island was revealed just bit by bit. For example, at the end of the Christmas Comic, a small glimpse of Piggy Island is seen. Then, in the Vuela Tazos Advertisement, the birds clearly were on the beach of Piggy Island. As time passed, more and more was revealed bit by bit. It is ruled by King Pig, as King of Piggy Island. An absolute monarchy, its capital is Pig City - the most populated area of the island; and inhabited by thousands of pigs. It is also known to have an air force, a naval vessel, a police force, and an army, headed by Corporal Pig. In Mind The Pony, a judicial system was also seen, which includes Chronicler Pig. There is also a church on the island that holds services for religious pigs.



Appearance
Piggy Island notably has a pig-shaped mountain in its middle, flowing with water. Piggy Island is full of all sorts of vegetation, (trees, cacti, grass, etc.) It has all sorts of landforms, such as plains, plateaus, and mountains. It is inhabited by the birds and pigs, the pigs having their own city/lair. In the distance, Mighty Eagle's cave can be seen. It is also likely that the island Piglantis lies near the area. Where the two edges at the front of Piggy Island break up is a circular desert/canyon-like area.

Here is each significant landmark of Piggy Island.

Pig Palace
Main article: Pig Palace

The palace is one of the most important buildings in the country, and the residence of the island's ruler. The original castle was destroyed along with multiple other structures in a massive TNT explosion in the Battle of Pig City. It was later rebuilt in an unknown point in the timeline. It is located in the nation's capital, Pig City.

Hog Head Mountain
Hog Head Mountain is the mountain in the middle of Piggy Island that is notably shaped like a Minion Pig. It is the most notable area in Angry Birds Epic as it is extremely large, or therefore, anyone who sees Piggy Island may think this is most notable. Bomb tries to control his temper by soaking in the hot springs on Hog Head Mountain.
