History
In the beginning there was a paddle. This paddle begot another paddle. The paddles used their collective mind power to create...a ball. They bounced the ball for eons. Time had no meaning. Then, unexpectedly, one of the paddles made a mistake, miscalculating the trajectory of the ball. It missed. The paddle that missed exploded, and it was from this event that the entire universe was created. Some scholars suggest that somewhere a now lone paddle is looking down on us, but only sees the words "You Loose."
The Democratic Republic of Gnopica is the only country that still holds true to this legend, and local lore holds that Gnopica is settled on what was the center of the original mighty ball. The Gnopic religion is based upon the restoration of the Lost Paddle, and to once again, through the pursuit of the Tru7h, set the Great Paddles in motion, restoring harmony and equilibrium to the universe.
National Animal
Gnopica's national animal is the pickle llama. This joyful creature is only found on the Islands of Gnopica, and biologists have never been able to agree on how it should be classified. Easily found galavanting in the lush forests of Gnopica, the pickle llama attracts scientists and tourists from across the globe, and, despite many a foreigners attempts, for some reason, the animal will only let native Gnopicans ride it.
Although normally calm and well tempered, the pickle llama can be very ferocious when it feels threatened. When in this mood, the pickle llama is one of the most deadly animals in the world. For this reason, it has no natural enemies and poaching has never been a problem, because they are alwayse killed savagely. By the time it's hunter has heard the pickle llama's attack call of "wort wort wort," it is to late.
The mating song of the pickle llama can be heard every year on its mating day, the 7th of July. This melodious tune has fascinated people since for centuries. The mating songs have even been transposed for choir and orcestra by the famous composer Marty O'Donnell. You can here an example here.
Map
Gnopica is made up of three islands off of the west coast of Durandal. One is round, with two long, parallel islands on either side. Due to tectonic plates activity, the round island collides with one of the long Islands and then the other repeatedly. A collision happens about once every two million years.
Gnopica's Constitution
All Gnop images are from the one and only Gnop! web site, which is brought to you by the people from The 7th War. The mp3 file is from a link from Halo.Bungie.Org, which they got from Total Audio, run by Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori.
