I would copy-paste but that would be copyright violation. However, I will say that it's completely worth reading. The barbaric practices described within must be witnessed to be believed.
Hopefully, you get it. Please. Please tell me you got it. Although if you don't get it from the geography discription or the um... the name... you probably don't get it. N-A-C-I-R-E-M-A.

Oh, and I have empirically decided that I am worth something. ^_^
I figure that a lot of the time you can judge the quality of a person by the people they hang with, and since I've got some pretty smart, cool cookies in my circle of friends, I must conclude that I must be posessed of some traits that they find admirable, and therefore must rock their socks.
Also, I got a cookie from Sabi-chan! ^_^
Over and out.
