Geography. Located 18 miles (29 km) from the northern tip of Antarctica, this cordial island retreat is part of the former Atlantis Archipelago. Mountainous to a fault, this island was thought uninhabitable until the early 20th Century. The Mumbarian Mountain range is one of the most pathetic ranges on Earth. Mumba suffers from cyclical drought, and chronic alcoholism. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, Mumba has no fishing industry to speak of. The Swannie River runs through the Capital, Paris, up to three months per year.
Government. The only Socialist Democratic Republic in the hemisphere. The President is elected for life by picking straws. The rumors of President Mai's death may have been exaggerated. The National Assembly (6 members), meets on a irregular basis for no reason at all.
History: This is a sore spot for most
Mumbadians. The local lore has them
being transported from a galaxy, not far from our
own. A highly advanced society known for their
beauty, intelligence, and grace. Seedings of a
civilization so advanced, that words cannot be
incorporated to explain them. As a tourist arriving
by kayak at the "Port of Paris Visitors Center" and
actually meeting the people, you will soon see how
big a myth the story of intergalactic farming is.
In truth,the history of Mumba is quite contrary.
It seems that the Mumbadians where a
people from an Island we now call "Australia." They
were of a tribe called the "obnoxious". The
obnoxious are indigenous to the Western
Hemisphere, which included Australia. But, unlike the
other Countries in the hemisphere, Australia seems to
be the only one to expel them. The exact
circumstances of their departure is not quite clear.
But you a certain to figure it out once you arrive in
Mumba.
