BOBBLE |
 |
In the beginning, there was the god. The god made this world. He made the Indians who inhabited Bobble, the most dynamic
country in the entire world. Bobble neighbors Chezland, a small island just south of Bobble. Settlers came over and inhabited
this land around 1500 BCE, bringing with them many diseased people. These people needed to be quaranteened. The ruler of Bobble
at the time, Boris Zebulanase, exiled these contaminated people to three different islands. Around 1400 BCE Floland invaded
these islands, Millieville, ZsaZsanda, and Girdle. Soon after, however, these four countries became allies. Bobble and Chezland
were in trouble. The ancestors of the exiles fought back at around 1200 BCE in a bloody war that cost the lives of many ZsaZsandans,
Gerdlers, Millivillians, and Flolanders. After many years of fighting, Floland and its allies surrendered. Bobble and Chezland
had won the brutal war that had cost so many lives of the enemy. |
The Laws of Bobble
- The use of the space-fillers “like”, “um”, and “ya”
may not be used more than three times in a sentence. In addition, “man,”, “chick”, or anything of
the sort to call someone is not allowed. Also, the sentence "It's all good," may never be used.
i.e.
“Hey man” or “Man, you should’ve been there”

must be attended by all who are not sick or hospitalized. Men will compete, women will judge.
- All residents must be fluent in three languages by their 25th
birthday. A proficiency test will be given in order to insure the law is being withheld. If a person fails their proficiency
test, one year is given to the person in order to continue with lessons. If the second proficiency test is failed, immediate
imprisonment will result in order to ensure that they are actually learning the language. If by the end of six months in prison,
the person is not trying to learn the language, as determined by Venus or Ivan, the person will never be allowed to return
to Bobble. However, if Venus decides that the person is trying to learn the languages, and yet cannot, they will be allowed
to remain in Bobble as long as they wish without learning the languages.
