THE ANTIPODES
Language : Antipodean (and English) Major Religion : Toe-ism Population : 450,345 (excluding flat footers) Currency : Townale (5 townales = 1 fuut) GNP : $3,156 million ($75 per foot) Selected Crops : Crushed grapes, trod upon sugar beets, toe-squished leeks, foot-plucked strawberries Selected Industrial Products : Rubber footwear, foot puppets, shoes Rationale For Targeting : The Antipodes Quarterly may be the most respected imaginary publication in the history of literature, next to Podiatrist Centerfolds. Fun Fact : The Catholic Church actually had the gall to dispute the existence of the Antipodes and to refute the importance of the country in general: "Speculations concerning the rotundity of the earth and the possible existence of human beings 'with their feet turned towards ours' were of interest to the Fathers of the Early Church only in so far as they seemed to encroach upon the fundamental Christian dogma of the unity of the human race, and the consequent universality of original sin and redemption." (From the online Catholic Encyclopedia.)
