The Legend of Apoland - condenced version
Condensed Legend - How it all began
29.August 2005
Once upon a - not so very long - time ago when planet earth was beginning to
look dank and dreary, being filled with war and poison and hovering on the
brink of destruction, there lived a woman named Katariina who had a dream.
And such a vivid dream it was, that she wanted to share it with her
Apocalyptica Forum friends. Founding of Apoland by Katariina
Eicca - President
Paavo - Vice President
Perttu - Chairman of the Arts
Antero - Chairman of Covert Operations
Mikko - Secretary of State
Language : Finglish
No official religion
Eicca should give his state of the union addresses from the sauna! (as
long as the lenses on the video camera dont get too steamed up).
30. August 2005
Important decisions were being made!!!! Such as....
*National drink: Vodka?
*National food: Pringles?
*National motto: SOITA ALASTI, of course! (no question on that one!)
*National fish (later turning into dish): must be cod ( Anduine adding: We
really should have a cod day !!!!)
*Currency: Aporon. 1 Aporon is worth 100 Cellonis (I suggest a cello for
the backside of the coin)
Apocalypticans should all be very fond of music! Otherwise theres no reason
for this country to exist!
31. August 2005
More decisions......
Musical education should be sponsored by the state and be free for all
Apocalypticans!
Uniform - Black Leather Pants with gaffa tape, Boots, Mesh shirt, underwear
optional
Black jeans and black leather pants for special occassions!
02.September 2005
No comments needed....
we should have an official Finnish sperm bank (really biting my tongue
here :-) )
National cell phone - Nokia! :-)
Mascot: Michi, since Eicca has declared him Apocalypticas mascot... :) (For
all who dont know...he is Terres youngest son)
National tree: Spruce
Airline: Apohansa and the emblem is a flying cello anybody recording this for later generations? Like how it all began? Leading
to this important document

Flower - Black rose
Animal - Horse

State Library opens up in Hell-sink-in
Here is a brief user guide at least for Anduines books:
Since Cyan and I donated quite a few we gave Jane just the titles. In cases
of German titels English titels are in brackets as far as I know them. Just
English titel - and we have the original version. Just German titel its prob by
German or another non English writing author.
Since we wont literally mail them around they are a reading suggestion only.
So if you are interested in a specific book sent email to either Anduine or
Cyan and well mail you a short summary asap.
(Jane maby you can add this to the Library link on HP?)
Picture of Eicca posing for statue in Eiccatown (imagine pigeons setteling down on him)
