These are good questions. Where is AlGoreistan?
We need a lay of the land before we can truly begin to format an overall defense strategy.
eta: Yeah, right, forgot about the international waters bit.
An island it is!
But we can still have a volcano.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...
'Shindig'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

Oh yes, definitely!
(hey, that works to msbelle and it being out of my price range.)
What ever happened to the one that was a fsbo and the owners were asking way too much and doing no work?
Actually, perusing realtor.com for the zip, there's a lot of stuff adjacent that isn't too insane. Of course, some of it is also in the sketchorrific part of it (and I say this from my iffy neighborhood.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The giraffes can just transport themselves via the Giraffe Navy: [link]
the Giraffe navy is as strong as ever, contrary to recent claims in the popular press.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Since it's my imaginary sovereign nation, we can fit whatever I want on there.
And it's clearly an island surrounded by protective fiery volcanoes. Duh.

Can't it be an island that flies?

Ooh, like Atlantis!
On second thought, it's not an island. It's an orbital platform. Surrounded by protective fiery orbital volcanoes.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere!
To protect a flying island surrounded by volcanoes (which, presumably, also fly) we will need to outfit the giraffes with jetpacks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
AlGoreistan needs ocean beaches. Think of it as a really big moat.
I volunteer to lead the unarmed forces. And the disarming forces. Them too.

Oh, now it's orbital. Okay, so...we need to make giraffe shaped space-suits. And teach them how to work the MMUs.

Between the cuteness of Grace and Noah and the wonders of Shrift's haircut, I am now ded. Also, I am kind of in love with the cat armor artist.
