China - Thank you for the review! NOBODY and his slaves-er, citizens appreciate the suggestions and support! Ever since the Muse of Nowhere saw your review, he has been bouncing off the walls of Nowhereland and foaming ideas at the mouth.

The Campfire

"Once upon a time, there was a very wise and old environmentalist called Asia," began Guizhou. The provinces were sitting around a campfire on logs in a forest, drinking cups of tea or doing something else like roasting marshmallows. "He had a literal heart of gold that spread love and the beauty of nature whenever it pumped blood through his old and wise body. Asia lived in a magical universe where his type of magic was forbidden; the world was consumed with poison and black magic (courtesy of a certain Western nation far away).

One day, he was having a picnic with his disciples and his disciples' disciples up high in the mountains; the last true paradise of the world. The sky was blue, the sun smiled down upon them, and overall it didn't look like the venomous place that the rest of their home was.

Then-"

"-grandpa Asia got decked out with techno robot equipment and he flew to outer space," Shanghai finished, staring down at the glowing white screen of his iPhone 5s.

"No, that's not how the story goes!" argued Yunnan, slamming his mug down on the ground. "England's black magic reached the mountains and Grandpa fought them off-"

"Guys, this isn't even real," Jiangxi tried to reason, wrapping her hands around her porcelain teacup. "Why don't we make it like those add on stories where we all make it up as we go?"

"Alright," agreed Guangxi. She glanced at Guizhou, who looked slightly miffed at having her story interrupted. "Guizhou, do you want to start us up again?"

Guizhou smiled at her sister gratefully. "Sure. Okay, so they're on a mountain having a picnic when..."

"...a cuddly little panda appeared from the forest!" Sichuan said with a smile, cuddling her own panda named Mahjong.

"Then, it started to rain a whole bunch and it ruined their picnic," added Hainan.

"Grandpa then got really mad and started yelling at the sky even though he knew it would do no good, and all of his disciples and his disciples' disciples just stared at him as he appeared to go bonkers," Tianjin put in cheerfully.

"The police decided to pay a visit and they found out that he was yelling at the sky which was totally illegal and stuff, so they arrested him and told him that he would need to pay a fifteen hundred yuan fine!" Hunan all but yelled.

"I think we should start a new story," Beijing observed, pushing up his glasses nonchalantly.

"How about this: what if the rise of Egypt involved television?" suggested Shanghai.

His siblings smiled, amused, at the thought of Mother Egypt becoming famous because of television.

"Once upon a time, Mother Egypt discovered an amazing thing through a prophet-television. She decided that she would base her nation on television, which she called TV for short," Qinghai began, eating chips.

"She first experimented with many different ways to build a TV."

"Then finally her prophet told her exactly how to build it."

"Mother Egypt then sent out a quest to collect the items for a TV!"

"And after a long time, the quest party returned with all the stuff."

"She quickly got to work building the very first television in 3000 BC."

"After a long and grueling time, she finally built it!"

"She set up a factory and made a bunch of TVs."

"Mother Egypt then broke out of her isolation."

"She started selling TVs to Mesopotamia and other Ancients."

"Therefore, she had a great civilization and then other nations got jealous, invaded her, and the Egyptian empire thing ended."

"And modern Egypt was born!" crowed Hubei.

"Hey, Tianjin, be careful because your painting is too-"

There was a whoosh as the aforementioned painting caught on fire.

"-close to the fire...never mind."

Read, enjoy, and try and summon the energy to review. Thanks!
