History

Pukru Island was originally located on the Hunter Ocean. A rock in the northern, middle finger of the island reads, "This island were fashioned by Yngvild."

For a time the palace had no default furniture because it had all been deleted by Bootstrapben; he was traded the deed minutes before the island was to be handed over and paid to delete the furniture. The furniture has since been replaced.

The name "Pukru" refers to a word in the Eastern Nicaragua Ulwa language. It is the Ulwan name for the American chestnut tree, Pachira aquatica. In reference to Orion's belt, Pukru represents Zeta Orionis (ζ Ori).

On July 29th, 2006, Pukru became the first island to be opened for colonization on the Hunter Ocean.
