1) Which are hell bovines' two official languages? (10) The country was a colony of which nation? (5)

3) Name Hell Bovines' capital city (5) and its national anthem (10)

4) What is the name of hell bovines' unique government form? ( 8 ) Can you explain it? (8 - 20 : punctuation depends on how well explained it is)

Egads...I can't remember what it's called, but it has something to do with direct referandums, and socialism.

Okay.... I will give you two points for this one. Hell Bovines government form is an Ecotopia, a unique mix of marxism, enviromentalism and direct democracy. A duque is democratically elected for all his life, but must call for referendums every ten years, asking if he should stay in power or not. Also, the duque can only take small decisions, all major decisions must be taken by the populace through referendums in a direct-democratic way. Finally, under this governemnt form, the economy is entire collectivized and there is no private property. Points - 2

She's a hampster...Fluffy, right?

9) What's the name of the two hell bovinian main gods? (10)

Diablo and the Great Cow...or Bovine...or something

Partially correct. The 2 main hell bovinian gods are Diablo and The Holy Cow. Points - 6

10) Name at least 2 of the main Hell Bovinian industries? (14)

Cigar making and agriculture

Correct!. Main industries are cigar making and agriculture (being hay and hallucinogenous grass the main crops), along with milk production and book publishing. Points - 14

Gosh, the PM's from Gallaga. Specifically which bit? Erm. The Iansislian bit, of course!


Wait.. he is from Gallaga, isn't he? He's not from Gadsan.. what if I've been misreading all this time? -Mainwaring bites his nails, concerned that he may have made many a forgotten (by himself) faux pas-

I would make up some questions about Walmington, but.. in all seriousness, who on earth cares enough to know:

1) in what decade first landfall was made on Walmington

2) the name of our longest ruling monarch

3) the meaning of the word "clatterbox"

4) the current Governor of the Walmingtonian Dominion of Ceyloba

5) the territories claimed by the Walmingtonian Empire

6) the nature of the nation's "Newrian Troubles"

7) the significance to Walmington of a ship called Admiral Coney

or 8 ) the identity of the richest man in Walmington?

Wait.. he is from Gallaga, isn't he? He's not from Gadsan.. what if I've been misreading all this time? -Mainwaring bites his nails, concerned that he may have made many a forgotten (by himself) faux pas-

He (Hiresh Dhawan of the Commonwealth Party) is indeed from Iansislean Gallaga - the Ganges Delta, outside Nusheld, to be exact. He's the distant relative of the native prince Fischer and co. were railroading in the Gallaga thread.

Edward Tarriff, the former PM and still head of the Free Trade Party (oddly, he refused to resign after his party's poor showing at the polls, and no one really has the heart to kick him out) was from Gadsan, specifically Lakeriverwood.

I would make up some questions about Walmington, but.. in all seriousness, who on earth cares enough to know:

That hasn't stopped me yet! :D

2) the name of our longest ruling monarch

Merry Mave!
