Piggy Island is an island and a country that 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.

Geography and points of interest

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 at 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. Inside this mountain, there is a volcanous place full of boiling lava and structures made by ancient civilizations such as Pig-shaped stone cannons activated by ores, as seen on Angry Birds 2.

Slingshot Woods

Slingshot Woods was seen in several games but was first officially coined the name in Angry Birds Epic. It goes in several directions.

This location is featured in:

South Beach

South Beach is located opposite of Slingshot Woods. Located after South Beach is the Cobalt Plateaus. Due to the striking resemblance, this must be where the Vuela Tazos Angry Birds advertisement had taken place. This is the new nesting place of The Flock.

The approximate location of the Old Nesting Barrows

It is known that this was the original nesting place of the Angry Birds before Angry Birds Toons and Angry Birds Epic. It was later abandoned, and it was taken over by Rogues and Monty in Angry Birds Epic. Currently, it is unknown why the birds moved from the Old Nesting Barrows to the South Beach. It is the place of the Mighty Sword which Mighty Eagle wants The Flock to take the sword to unlock the Mighty Eagle's dojo.

Languages

A language is spoken in the island by both the birds and the pigs. The language does currently not have any name, and only has a few known words. However, in the international version of The Angry Birds Movie, the birds and pigs are seen talking in English. English is also referenced in Angry Birds on the Run, but not on Piggy Island.

Religion

An unknown percentage of the population is religious, as a church is known to exist on the island. It presumably hosts services for Christian pigs.

Currency

The island's currency is presumably the dollar, as seen in Getaway Loot. However, other theories say that it might be cabbage due to cabbage being seen in a bank vault in A Fistful of Cabbage. Coconuts are also used by The Flock. In Bad Piggies, there are coins called the Snout Coins which are used to buy content in-game and are probably the currency of the city.

Culture

Food

Piggy Island is known to have a vast array of food - like hot dogs, vegetables, cake, and stew. However, the pigs have been planning to steal eggs so King Pig may eat them. However, only King Pig is allowed to eat the eggs due to a law that states only the country's head of state may eat eggs. Other pigs must find other food to eat.

It is also known that other pigs sing, and music is also played during special occasions, seen during the reception of the royal wedding of King Pig and a Cabbage.
