Queensferry ---> WINNING

[BuggUla 405]

Chapter 0.5: Bow Down to BuggUla

In the beginning, there were four. The Republic of Jerkola, Smirkistan, Buggland and the Ula Empire. All four states were engaged in constant warfare to establish hegemony over the continent. The first to fall was Jerkola. Buggland mobilized battalion after battalion of armored dung beetles, who easily rolled to victory over the outnumbered and outgunned Jerks. As the vanquished population begged for mercy, King Bugg assured them “We Love You!”
The Jerks were relieved and welcomed their new leader, opening up their towns to his soldiers and preparing for a new life under Buggland. The fools! After Infestation Centers were completed in every town, the locals were rounded up and wrapped in sticky silk. All surviving jerks were then liquefied and consumed by King Bugg, who lorded over the mayhem with a self satisfied smirk. As he slurped up the victims from his regal mug, he swished each around in his mouth. When completed, he let out a mighty belch. Meanwhile, Czarula Eula I of the Ula Empire was preparing an invasion of the hapless inhabitants of Smirkistan. This ancient battle was recorded in song at the time. Evidence of the ancient battle has been found in the Ostracon of Eula, shown below.



Translated from the ostraca originally located in the ruins of Czareula Eula I's palace. It has a height of 4 inches and is mainly composed of a prose report with a poetic finish, mirroring other ostraca of the time. It is dated to the 20th year, 3rd month of the Colon Terminus Kingdom. This is an early example of oral tradition being found in written form.

The Ula Empire met Smirkistan in one of history’s decisive battles, the Battle of Colon Terminus. The Smirkers were represented by Lord Smirque and Ulans were headed by General de Druler. The two military masterminds dueled for weeks. Eventually, the battle subsided and the siege of Colon Terminus began. Rather than settle on a stalemate, General de Druler came up with an innovative idea. He had his workers create a giant wooden horse and had it wheeled to the city’s gate. Surprised and pleased by the apparent end of the siege, weary Smirkers accepted the peace offering, wheeling it into the town square. They did not know it was filled with a large number of heavily armed dung beetles. At dusk, the beetles emerged and shot filled the waning twilight. Many smirkers were felled in their tracks. Lord Smirque beat a hasty retreat and prepared a last stand. General de Druler was impressed with Smirque’s abilities in battle and decided to spare him. The terms of surrender: Lord Smirque would join the Ulan army and bring his soldiers over to serve the Czarula. The citizens would be lobotomized and then sent to Infestation Centers to be properly trained to be the willing servants of Eula I. Because of his prowess, Lord Smirque gained the title Lord Smirque of Accolade.



And then there were two. The Ulans and Buggs engaged in a war of attrition to achieve final domination over the continent. Besides the glory of forcing a rival into submission, victory ensured control over the supply of uleic acid, a vital component of many materials used in each nation. Uleic acid is a somewhat toxic, green substance which occurs naturally in pools of liquid near the surface. It has a low boiling point, so it often is found with green clouds accompanying it. It is used for hive mind control and can be easily adapted for weapon use. It is the main ingredient in most personal care products, listed on the label as “oil of onimay”. Regular use allows the leaders to easily manipulate and control the thoughts and actions of the user.



In a bid for final supremacy, the two armies converged upon the uleic acid mines at Queen’s Ferry. Here, final control would be determined. The nearby town of Accolade played host to the converging armies. The Battle of Colon Terminus, Abridged.

The Battle of Colon Terminus in 53 BJE (Before Joined Era) was a decisive victory for the army of Czarula Eula I over the legendary husk Bugg I near the town of Accolade (now ruled by the Lord Smirque of Accolade). Eula's force of 1,000 dung beetle attack vehicles and 9,000 infested soldiers under general Don d'Druler met the Bugg army at Accolade. Bugg’s cavalry was screening ahead of the main force when they were engaged by the dung beetles, and the weapons his cavalry employed were not capable of piercing the hard outer casing. His cavalry was soon surrounded and routed, and his favorite radio station Slee-Zee-Kay was destroyed.




Bugg was humiliated by this defeat, and this was made even worse by the fact that the Eulans had captured several Legionary Husks. It is also mentioned by sources that the Eulans found the prisoner of war that resembled Bugg the most, and liquefied his center, leaving only a husk behind. The capture of the golden husk by the Eulans was considered a grave moral defeat and evil omen for the Buggs. It required a generation of diplomacy before the Eulans returned them. An important and unexpected implication of this battle was that it opened up the continent to a new and destructive weapon: seven layer toxic apple cakes. However, the most immediate effect of the battle was that the Eulans were an indirect cause for the fall of the Buggs, and the rise of Queensferry. A solution to the thorny problem of who would rule and how was solved by a unification of the two warring states. The treaty was signed at the neutral site of Queensferry, where the new nation had its start. Thus began the nation of Queensferry, to which all other bow in obedience. All hail mighty Queensferry!

Chapter 1: We Love You!

After the formal joining of Buggland and the Ula Empire, Queensferry began as a unified and fearsome nation. All tremble before the greatness of Queensferry. All recoil in terror at the very prospect of confronting the might of Queensferry. When a delegation from Queensferry arrives at the courts of neighboring nations, the populace knows it is in for trouble. "We Love You" the Queensferry delegation cries. And, to show love in return, heavy tribute and hefty sacrifices are expected to be cheerfully surrendered.

How does a glorious nation like Queensferry develop such supremacy? It is not just the semi-divine leadership. The secret is in the dominance of natural resources. Select Queensferry residents secrete a substance known as uleic acid. Uleic acid is a glowing green substance with radioactive and mind-numbing properties. This highly-prized substance can be used both for maintaining absolute control over the populace as well as for weapons and an additive to certain foodstuffs.

Perhaps the most notorious example of the use of uleic acid in foodstuffs was the subjugation of Loserland. The Losers were offered a supply of Uncle John's Famous Seven Layer "Apple" Cake as a peace offering after a skirmish. The Losers gladly accepted, thinking that they had escaped the fate of so many other neighboring states. Little did they know that the word "apple" was in quotation marks for good reason. The uleic acid-laced cakes incapacitated the populace quickly, leaving them open to a decisive and brutal takeover.

Upon the smoldering ruins of Loserland, the new Queensferry province of Gopotty was built. Gopotty is a primarily suburban area. But, like most of Queensferry, housing is secondary to securing and transporting uleic acid. Many homes are built near uleic acid processing centers and transit routes are often secured to protect the supply from wayward residents or other anomalous factors. A heavy military presence helps the locals remember their loyalty to Queensferry and lustily eradicates the stray citizen who veers off of the approved government mind control program.

Heavy industry fuels much of the economy and adds a notable amount of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. Others may call this pollution, but in Queensferry, it is simply referred to as "the smell of money being made." The national economy is dependent primarily upon tribute excised from weaker neighbors. This is supplemented by heavy industry and indiscriminate sale of weapons of mass destruction. For an insectoid population, pollution laws, as humans see them, are useless. So, heavy metals and thick clouds of smoke permeate the air at levels not sustainable in other nations.

[Hester 700]

Whew...how in the world did they exist without anyone knowing?

[Kryptowhite 9]

trying to comprehend this CJ did more damage to my brain than 50 years of downing hard liquor could have...

I love it!

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

wow. that sure is a lot of pollution haha. nice start/update!

Indeed... how hasn't anyone else noticed that giant cloud? Except for Schulmania, that is.

[Benedict 3,119]

Fantastic update... uleic acid, huh? sounds nasty.

[Muck308 55]

Oh, so it's just money being made that we've been smelling... whew.

[ironicepitome 0]

dun dun daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[astronelson 339]

Hmm... I'm glad I don't live there, I have to say. And these place names are getting exceedingly fecal.

[BuggUla 405]

Jacqulina Thank you. Queensferry appreciates your support. We love you!

Hester Trust me, anyone who lives near Queensferry is painfully aware of its existence. We love you!

Kryptowhite Queensferry does not encourage thinking... we encourage obedience. So, we are accomplishing our goal. We love you!

Petrovar Ambassador Of course, it is not so much pollution as "the smell of money being made." We love you!

Leech10 Most neighboring states have been defeated and assimilated, so there's not really anyone close by to complain. We love you!

Benedict Uleic acid is good for what ails you... and a refreshing treat anytime. We love you!

Muck308 Yes, just the smell of money being made, nothing sinister here. We love you!

Ironicepitome A good intro for us! We love you!

Astronelson Our city namers often have a mug of uleic acid whilst naming cities. We love you!

[TmiguelT 10]

wOw i was too intrigue on the last updates that when i saw those pictures i was left speechless... I guess this means.... i can't tell.... I'm being silence...
