So where did the name for Sel Appa come from, you ask? Well there is a somewhat interesting story behind it...

Sometime in 2002, my pet anole (wp anole)(a lizard) died. I made a tomb for him and soon began going about making a small temple-like thing for my anole and previously deceased guppy. It was called the "Sel Appa Religious Center". When deciding upon a name for my nation, I remembered my temple and chose it as the name and the world has not been the same since.

Here is a pic of the temple, which I have rebuilt and added on to many times, but the original bricks are still there...most of them. Larger size pics are available below. :

I thought that Cape Carnivalé was the name of a RL city.

I was just particularly liking hobos at the time...:)

I just thought to make a nation of zombies. "The Zombie Alliance" seemed like a logical title for such a nation.

Spam was taken :p
