British Oompa-Loompas are British citizens or residents of Oompa-Loompa origin. The Oompa-Loompas are a tribe of African pygmies originating from the island of Loompa, part of Equatorial Kundu, off the coast of West Africa. Prior to 1964, the Oompa-Loompas were an isolated people with only limited contact with the outside world. The Oompa-Loompas originally isolated themselves in the forests of Loompas in the early 18th century to avoid the slave trade. After Equatorial Kundu gained independence in 1962, British developers hired by the Kundunese government began demolishing the forests of Loompaland in order to expand Kundunese agricultural capacity. This deforestation threatened the Oompa-Loompas with forcible eviction from their homeland. In 1963, the English chocolatier and Time Lord Willy Wonka agreed to relocate nearly the entire Oompa-Loompa population to the Wonka Chocolate Factory in York in exchange for the Ooompa-Loompas agreeing to provide cheap labor for the Wonka Chocolate Company. When the Grand Tour of the Wonka Chocolate Company in 1974 revealed the status of the Oompa-Loompas to the public, the government of the U.K filed suit against Wonka Chocolate Company for violating British labor laws. After the disappearance of Willy Wonka in 1976, the Wonka Chocolate Company, then managed by the Bucket Company, agreed to pay the Oompa-Loompas in Pound Sterling instead of cocoa beans and adhere to national safety regulations. In 1983, Prime Minister Herbert Attwell agreed to the demands of the Yorkshire Union of Chocolate Workers and granted the Oompa-Loompas British citizenship. Many Oompa-Loompas subsequently left Wonka Chocolate to work elsewhere. British Oompa-Loompas have faced severe levels of racism and discrimination and have much lower life expectancy and living standards than white British people. After the 2008 Financial Crisis, Wonka Chocolate went bankrupt and Wonka CEO Charlie Bucket resigned. The Wonka Chocolate Factory was subsequently closed on the orders of Wonka Chocolate's new CEO, Hyacinth Bucket. The closure resulted in a massive increase in unemployment among Oompa-Loompas. During the Windrush Scandal in 2018, the Oompa-Loompas, along with Caribbean immigrants were found to have been mistreated by the Home Office, causing the Michael Callow government to apologize to the Oompa-Loompa community. As part of the English Holocaust of 2027, the Norsefire/Four-Star Party government forced the Oompa-Loompas into concentration camps, resulting in the extermination of most of the United Kingdom's Oompa-Loompa population (estimated at 30,000).
