CJ should be coming over this weekend and we may possibly be heading
over to an art museum with a video game exhibit along with its other
fine arty things to check out. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
History Of A Small Goblin Nation
Once there was a goblin nation. It was a very small one founded by a
bunch of a goblins that didn't like the laws of the big goblin nation
so they moved away. (In the big goblin nation there was religious
outlaw on jazz music). They moved into a small area in the middle of
a mountain range where they couldn't be easily conquered. This is a
history of their nation based on their countries calender.
Year 0: The goblins can't come up with a name for their country so
they name in “The Republic Of Here”
Year 1: The goblins came up with a better name, “We Have Jazz
Music” to attract more people that want to move there because they
want to have jazz music.
Year 3: We Have Jazz Music's economy starts to form as they finish
building their first city and their farms are fully self-sufficient
and they no longer need outside supplies. At this point they operate
a city-state. At this point despite being a city-state the government
is also an anarchy because everybody is too busy working their farms
to worry about politics.
Year 5: A gold mine is discovered. Though the mountains protect them
from any military encroachment companies and a population of miners
enter. A corporate presence does not damage the welfare of We Have
Jazz Music as it boosts the economy and the companies are treated as
dual citizens and taxed. Money flows in and the goblins move beyond
farming.
Year 7: We Have Jazz Music is forced to be more proactive and make a
government to use and deal with tax dollars. Things get confusing and
corrupt very quickly as people grab for power. Eventually they settle
on a government where people are voted into positions like treasurer
or whatever. This was chosen because goblins heard other governments
did it and it sounded nice to them.
Year 10: Tom the goblin attempts a military coup. However since
nobody has weapons and nobody wanted to beat each other up instead of
fighting they decided to resolve it with a rock-paper-scissors
tournament. Tom's coup failed and he was executed while all his
follows were tortured by watching reruns of really bad sitcoms for
days. The sleep deprivation along with bad jokes caused a bout of
madness along with absolute devotion to We Have Jazz Music.
Year 12: An elf bandit and his crew decide to attack We Have Jazz
Music considering it an easy target. With his guns he is able kill
many goblins easily since there has been no active military or police
force there but the numbers of the goblins still take him over. The
goblins of the nation realize that although a military attack on the
nation wouldn't be easy it would still be possible. The wealth of
their nation was increasing along with its fame and its goldmines
proving deeper. They decide to weaponize.
Year 20: We Have Jazz Music is equipped with guns and tanks and most
importantly anti-aircraft weapons. The attack of the bandit scarred
them emotionally so they went into overkill. The bandit became a sort
of boogey man.
Year 50: We Have Jazz Music has filled its tiny mountain hideaway
with three cities and every mining facility and farm it can.
Effectively it is full with population control laws and immigration
laws. Goblins tend to be very strict about their laws, hypocrisy
considering the fact that the nation was founded on running away
from. The slogan of population control is: “If you have too many
children we'll throw the eldest out the window of the tallest
building in the city.” They were serious.
Year 52: The main goblin nation realizes how deep the goldmines of
We Have Jazz Music really goes and is no longer content with just
trading for it. Using the fact they moved to avoid the religious law
as an excuse they invade. The mountain range does protect the nation
from invasion as planned when the nation was founded but it is a long
costly war that costs lives on both sides.
Year 60: The name of the nation is changed to “Don't Mess With Us”
to symbolize the victory over the massive home goblin nation and
unemphasize the possession of jazz music. So ends the history of We
Have Jazz Music and begins the history of Don't Mess With Us.
Epilogue: Don't Mess With Us turns into a full on military nation,
especially to compensation predictions of the mines running out of
gold. They eventually conquer the home goblin nation and spread jazz
music there and begin conquering other nations, oppressing the elves
and humans until they are finally defeated by an alliance by a
revolution of those they have conquered and the fairy people along
with the dragons. Jazz music is then banned all over the world as
something that leads to corruption of nations and governments.
