Smiling Nations

by Emma-likes-dragons

Alton Towers, England, home to a brand new roller coaster, The Smiler. It has come to light that the purpose of this ride is much more than a simple roller coaster; it's the ultimate correction device for the Ministry of Joy. Once it was only used on people but now the Ministry have their eyes set on much bigger targets, whole nations and who is to know what will happen if they win

4. Chapter 3

The Smiler, consists of fourteen inversions, a maximum speed of 85km/h and a drop of 30m. It only set the ministry back eighteen million pounds. Laughter is the only sound heard around the ride, many happy looking people are seen walking near the exit. Today was no different as the nations rode on this ride. But there is another purpose of this ride, that let's the Ministry gain slightly more power; it marmalised the minds of any human who dares to ride it. This process consisted of five stages, each represented by a leg on the Smiler: the tickler, the giggler, the flasher, the hypnotiser and the inoculator. The last leg is more symbolic though, of the joy inoculations people are given as they get off the ride. The Ministry learnt quickly that nations need a more potent dose of joy, and that many of the legs were just slightly underpowered for them. Even at double power the machine hardly messes with a nation's mind, so crafty methods are needed to add the final step. Four nations were enough for them to adjust. As the sixteen got off the ride, England lagged behind looking at the contents of the briefcase, "oh very clever Doctor Kelman, very clever indeed." When he caught up with the group they were viewing their pictures on the ride.

"You look like your going to throw up Japan!" Italy was babbling excitedly

"Hey Norge, how you manage to keep such a straight fact?" Denmark was asking

"And why do you look like a baby who's about to cry?"

England let his eyes wander over to the photos, Japan's and Denmark's did look quite funny, America looked ill and Russia seemed to be crying. "Hey England, dude. Your photo looks funny don'tcha think?" England looked over to his own picture, his eyes were what got America's attention. Again, the green had gone that was happening to much lately. He smirked slightly, how patriotic; red, white and blue. "I'm sure it is just the light America, nothing to concern yourself with. Now then!" He claps his hands together, "what shall we do now?"

Canada was the first one to speak up, "I would like to go on that ride next to this one."

"Oblivion, sure, one of the better rides I feel." They filed out of the small shop and walked across the path to the line of Oblivion, as they did so England slipped some objects from the briefcase into his pocket, to be used later no doubt.
