The Inaugural Global Trade Fair

Postby Reploid Productions » Thu Mar 31, 2022 12:49 pm

Let's come together in the name of good old-fashioned commerce and get ready for all the wheeling and dealing of the Inaugural Global Trade Fair! Come together in the spirit of classic commercial consumerism. I'm sure those inspections and such won't be that big a deal, we're all just here to engage in perfectly normal commerce among nations!

I am absolutely certain there won't be any problems or trade wars to interrupt the clean, honest fun!

They don't inspect our cards. Why are they inspecting the shiny things we're going to pick up a few hours after we get them?

This is better than them giving us too much info and taking all the mystery and most of the excitement out of it.

I offer money for your chewing gums, including the unusual flavored ones.
Which flavors do you have ?

But if you don't accept my money, I can offer something else to chew, like carrots!

I have no idea what is going on but I'm hoping this will be the best April Fool's event since 2011.

Here's to hoping this is a good April Fool's event.
Currently retired. This nation (my first on this website) will be put to rest after 4 years on April 22.
A pacifist union located on the utopian planet Delotheaa. Nothing notable other than its longevity (as the nation has existed for over 10,000 years) and its unusual ability to repel invasions.
We are also called Deetileaa-Deluaiia.
