Independence!

I, Emperor of Toanusia will forcefully and formally declare independence from the mother land of "PippinMania". I feel that to be a dictator ruled under another being would contradict the meaning of a dictatorship. We, the people of Toanusia, will no longer stand for homework or in fact anymore work given to us from the nation of PippinMania.

From now on, Toanusia is a free and independent nation. It will control the powers to levy taxes, control the military, imports and exports, and all the land that it will conquer.

Immigrants!



Two immigrants have joined the micronation of Toanusia. From now on, Brigitte J. and Amber J. has agreed to be loyal and be part of Toanusia. They will from now on abide by the laws and defend the country with their lives. Toanusia is extremely happy with this series of events.

Essay #3

Our national animal, [1]the walrus, is very important to the country of Toanusia. The [2]definition of a walrus is a large marine mammal, Odobenus nosmarus, of arctic seas, related to the seals, and having flippers, a pair of large tusks, and a tough, wrinkled skin. The walrus is a symbol of [3]courage and quickness. Walruses are the idols of all the citizens in Toanusia simply because they are so much alike the citizen.

The walrus can be found throughout [4]Toanusia’s tropical weather. They tend to roam around the dense jungles surrounding the capitol of Topia. This is their favorite habitat for the many oases and clams that can found within. People may think that the fact that the walrus is thick in circumference would hinder its ability to maneuver within a jungle but that can be proven otherwise. The [5]walrus could actually run as quickly as a grown man on land since unlike their brethren, the seals, they can run or shall I say waddle on all four legs. Underwater in the oases, the walrus is a speed demon. They swim elegantly to catch all the zooming [6]clams. This is a quintessence of the walrus’ speed and agility.

The [7]walrus is a very social animal. They are usually found in herds much like the citizens of Toanusia. They will never be outside alone. The walrus however segregate into different herds based upon gender, something that the citizens do not do. There is also a social ladder with the walruses. This applies to both citizens and the walrus, the bigger you are and the more impressive your clothes/tusks are the higher you are in the community. In a bout, the walrus will use its tusks to show dominance. Humans though will flare out with their clothes and have a show off. To find other members of the species, the walrus creates a bell-like sound and other vocals. The human citizens in Toanusia however create the “weber call” which sounds like this “Wooohoohooohooo” which kind of sounds like an Indian call.

The [8]diet of a walrus consists mainly of mollusks (mussels, clams, etc.), crustaceans (crabs, shrimp, lobsters, etc.), and soft bodied animals (chicken). Coincidentally, the citizens of Toanusia also eat these items. The adult walrus also eats 3% to 6% of their body weight in food a day which is the same as the humans (60lbs-120lbs for the walrus, 5.4lbs-10.8lbs for humans). 3,000 to 6,000 clams are eaten in a sitting for walruses and humans can eat an astonishing 1,000 to 2,000 fried chicken wings in a sitting.

There are many [9]enemies for the walrus and human. The walrus is hunted by killer whales and sometimes polar bears. The delicate human is hunted by the mighty chicken, they use methods of killing it such as deep frying it in a pot to subdue it.

The Walrus can live for 16 to 40 years depending on the conditions of the habitat. The warmer it is and the more food available allows the walrus to maximize its life. Humans are able to live up to 94 years of age. They usually reach this age limit by the daily consumption of fried chicken and the excellent health care provided by the country.

With Ashley as the observer she quickly regained her independance and they agreed to a peace treaty between the two nations.
