Difference between revisions of "Live in a hole"

Live in a hole (literal translation: a dip in the ground) is a rapidly growing region of nations already committed to life underground, or considering such a commitment, or unaware of the desirability of so considering.

Agriculture and dairy products have been the major topics of discussion in the long and glorious history of the region. Member nations are renowned for their output of new legislation, often more frequently than daily. There is a tradition of public diplomatic announcements but it is understood that telegrams are also exchanged.

The region was founded by The Principality of Briswold over a week ago as of this writing.

Don't be deceived by the financiers or statisticians - a nation's true standing can only be rated by cabbage production, and (more controversially) cabbage consumption.

The glorious and responsible nations of this region include The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz which is renowned for academic excellence and surprisingly regular cabbage harvests. While not the founding nation, The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz enjoys healthy diplomatic dialogue with all members of the region and considers itself the most subterranean.

Other member states are The Republic of Goode-Hunters and The Federation of Insecure Rodents. The latter's ideology is unique in the region, based as it is on the exploitation of the workers and the greed of the ruling classes. The Insecure Rodents play a full part in the region's activities by allowing the citizens of their neighbours to see how much worse things could be.

The Republic of Goode-Hunters was the first to extend a welcome to our fifth glorious regional nation: The Republic of Bentlavia which seems to be shaping up to export prodigious amounts of radioactive trout. Apparently uranium is a good source of yellow food colouring which has improved the region's ready meals industry (previously reliant on green food colouring produced by The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz)

Most recently a sixth nation has joined. Although The Free Land of The gaoled have yet to ratify the Regional Subterranean Lifestyle Treaty, it is thought likely that living in a hole and living in gaol might have similarities.

A Potted History of Life in Live-in-a-Hole

20/10/2007 - Cultural differences in the region have created unusual tensions. Visitors to the The Republic of Bentlavia are complaining of poor service in all retail sectors after being told "That'll be 10 minutes".

23/10/2007 - A nervous ripple went through the existing nation states of Live-in-a-Hole with the arrival of the psychotically ruled The Oppressed Peoples of Dis-Quiet. It is understood that The Free Land of The gaoled in an attempt to extend a diplomatic hand of friendship had it ripped off, peeled, boiled and served for supper!
