In 1987, a group of renegade UN delegates planted a bomb in the UNHQ. It was soon found, but defusing proved impossible. After an emergency evacuation of the building, the Delegates were stripped of their citizenship and ordered to renounce their citizenship.

Equalitonia has a proud history. Founded in 1798, it was originally intended to be a large estate to keep the insane and "mildly eccentric" in. However, a gang of psychopaths took over the asylum, and were subdued only by the sight of a used [[First Church of the Holy Napkin|napkin]]. The rebels worshipped it as a sign from the Creator that Man had gone too far. They created Equalitonia, and since then the country has been a significant member of the international community.
  
All of which has nothing to do with Equalitonia's founding. The real truth is that an ancient society, long safeguarded from the perils of humanity, made contact with the outside world and became a nation. Incredibly, the inhabitants of this land had developed at exactly the same rate as mankind, and had all the same technology, as well as a democracy. The only difference was that this race was a utopian society. They quickly learned how to pretend they had nukes, and took a fair amount of land for themselves. They then named themselves Equalitonians.

Of course, the nation has grown considerably since those days. In 1956, when Equalitonia was part of the now-defunct region of Ancient Eternal Empire, it pretended to have a growing nuclear programme, and managed to negotiate 10,000 extra square miles of land before the truth was found it.

Equalitonia has a curious custom, which occurs every New Year's Eve. All citizens wander blindly around the streets, moaning "never again, never again...". According to officals, this is to discourage binge drinking that night. As the work attendance record for New Year's Day is always high, it is assumed that this works.

Equalitonia has never needed an economy, as the nation's inhabitants paid most of their Tuits to the Government of the time in the 70's. Instead, the unnoficial currency is now the IOU.

Equalitonia has a proud history. Founded in 1798, it was originally intended to be a large estate to keep the insane and "mildly eccentric" in. However, a gang of psychopaths took over the asylum, and were subdued only by the sight of a used napkin. The rebels worshipped it as a sign from the Creator that Man had gone too far. They created Equalitonia, and since then the country has been a significant member of the international community.

Of course, the nation has grown considerably since those days. In 1956, when Equalitonia was part of the now-defunct region of Ancient Eternal Empire, it pretended to have a growing nuclear programme, and managed to negotiate 10,000 extra square miles of land before the truth was found it. Fortunately, it immediately shipped to a new region.

Economy

Equalitonia has never needed an economy, as the nation's inhabitants paid most of their Tuits to the Government of the time in the 70's. Instead, the unnoficial currency is now the IOU. Government officials are still trying to unravel this mess this caused when it first caught on. In the meanwhile, Equalitonia has found another solution - looting.
