Sports World

Sports World started out on February 26, 1999 when all the top athletes of each sport got together and decided to create a land of their own - Sports Land. They did this because they felt they weren't getting enough attention from their fans. After a few months of searching, these athletes found an uninhabited island shaped as a giant ball. They thought this was perfect because it was big enough for people to play sports and have lots of big houses with fields or courts. They appointed themselves the rulers of this country and were known as The Athletes. The police were called The Referees.

The weather was as good as anyone could want. Every day ranged between the temperatures of 70 and 85 degrees. Every piece of land was green and the sky was blue. There were lots of lakes and fresh water; plenty of it for drinks and washing and sports. There were many different kinds of fruits and good, healthy, delicious food that nobody had ever heard of. This was a perfect location to focus on sports. Each house was made in the shape of a piece of sporting equipment and only those people interested in that sport could live there.

The only people that were allowed to live in this country were athletes, people obsessed with sports, sportscasters, coaches, and the people that take care of the fields or courts. All children attended schools that focused on their sport. If a child was born that did not become interested in sports, they were removed from the country. On February 26 of each year, The Athletes would hold tryouts to see if any newcomers were worthy of participating in that athlete's sport. All residents of the country were required to wear uniforms and if they were ever approached by a referee, they had to recite the rules of their sport. All entertainment, including television programs, theater and concerts revolved around sports. If it wasn't about sports, it wasn't allowed.

The best thing about this country was even though the people were limited in what they could do, they all loved the same thing. For this reason, people rarely fought or had disagreements and they lived well. Agreement equals happy people and happy people equal a happy country!
