The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Nope. But it is one of those Pacific islands. Try again.

I'm asking for a particular island, not just a country. Anyway, the island in question isn't in Tuvalu.

The island is named Millennium Island. Give its former name (which starts with C) and the country it is located in (starts with K.)

This is the place with the arguably worst weather in the world. Some of the highest winds speeds (I think this includes THE highest) ever were measured there, and also some extremely sudden weather changes. The place we are talking about is a mountain.

I don't think the weather there is worse than on any of the surrounding mountains. The mountain I'm looking for is not located in Asia.

Kilimanjaro?
That mountain in Antarctica? Cant' imagine a harsher environment.

I'm giving two guesses, I know Kilimanjaro is in Africa, I just don't no the name of that big mountain in the south pole.

I don't think weather is supposed to be particularly bad around Kilimanjaro. The mountain isn't located in Africa or Antarctica, nor is it in Europe.

Ok. I'm thinking of a very small river with a very short name. I'll give you a hint; it's in the U.S. west of the Mississippi. Also note that there are two possible answers.

For the sake of keeping it going I'll just come up with the next one.

The name of this place means "by the Monks". It is located at a tributary to the Danube. The place is the capital of a Freistaat.
