THE TERRITORIES OF HOLY PANOOLY
Holy Panooly, a nation linked to many terrorist networks around the world, isolationist "government" and fervent hater of socialism. Holy Panooly, is, as seen below, a nation of which little is known. The "government" where it exists has little to know control or knowledge about the people, and it's not even going to try. Most parts of the nation are uncharted and unexplored, making Holy Panooly a mineral goldmine.
