I am from nuts and bolts, From rocket fuel and air canisters I am from the verdant surface and vast lakes of Rurriquog, The sun-bleached rocks, the misty cloud forests, and the barren, expansive deserts I am from the tangled roots of invading trees Their long, powerful arms encroaching upon my alien world I’m from the vibrant tapestries of the Rurriquogians, and their idyllic temples From Commander Uskari, and King Matareiri I’m from huts and palaces, suspended miles above the cloudy jungle.

Several years ago, while working on establishing my own country, I ran across many issues involving government and diplomacy.

With a dedication to improving my knowledge of government, I soon felt confident in ruling over my nascent nation, and established diplomatic ties with various other nations created by people just like me.
