Selling Stuffed Echidnas

24-09-2003, 16:43
Though the freshly formed nation of Amphib Guinea still has a weak economy, the President has decided to attempt to make international connections by opening a small-scale trade network of stuffed Guinean echidnas.
The Guinean echidna is Amphib Guinea's national animal, which freely lives among the less inhabited islands. The locals love the small and cute animal, but are willing to capture and stuff some of the echidnas. Keep in mind that Amphib Guinea does not encourage reckless hunting of the national animal and the trade will be kept small. The current amount of stuffed echidnas is about 100, with an estimated high of 1000 until hunting of echidnas will be ended to avoid overhunting.
Why buy an Amphib Guinean stuffed echidna? This small and lovely creature provides a very nice decoration. Nothing looks better than having a stuffed echidna on your fireplace, and it can prove to be a nice gift.
Though the amount of stuffed echidnas seems so small that some nations would probably not bother to invest in them, the president hopes that this can create some forms of connections between Amphib Guinea and other nations. Prices will be negotiated. Orders in advance are welcome.
