come
from
Lonelistan:
a self-declared (it would have to
be)
de facto sovereign state,
not recognised by the UN,
FIFA
or other international
bodies.
Some facts:
Not-so-fiercely independent,
the
citizens of
Lonelistan
have made few significant
contributions to contemporary
global culture
(the meal for one, the doona suit).
The Lonely tongue is a language
isolate.
The few contemporary
economists studying
Lonelistan
note that its economy is again
experiencing
a quarter of negative growth, and
appears to be
in a state of permanent depression.
Its chief export is its people:
found
on the fringes and centres of
(non/sub)-urban areas the world
over.
The currency of
Lonelistan
is
the
(Sigh),
which
is non-exchangeable.
