Olympic Hopefuls
There are even smaller nations that compete internationally today, like Sealand(550 square meters), which has more athletes than residents(their soccer team lives in Kentucky). I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Sealand got in the Olympics. They already have 2 silver medals from the World Cup of Kung Fu!
Edit: random rings added to Death’s dress the next day
MORE edit: Kenny’s ear twitch added.
Edit number 3: Note about the internetes has been added.
The year is 2132
Death:
They rejected my bid for hosting the Olympics again!
They rejected my bid for hosting the Olympics again!
Kenny: We don’t have enough internetes for it, anyway.
*”Internetes” is the currency of Ook Island.
Death: We are a valid country!
Kenny: …that’s 256 meters wide, and 500 citizens strong.
Death: We have plenty of room for stadiums if we can justify buying more ships and platforms.
Kenny: Maybe we should start with getting an athelete in the games. Do they still race in the nude?
I've read some articles on whether genetic engineering should count as an unfair advantage (like steroids). If in that era the Olympics have decided as such it might be pretty difficult for Ook Island to get anyone in.
The rules clearly state that cheetahs will be disqualified from racing. Or was that cheaters? Either way, it's safe to say that non-humans will never compete in the Olympics. I mean really… OTTERS in the swimming competition? Okay, technically they're most proficient with LOUNGING on the water, but adding webbed feet to a human-sized creature has got to be an advantage.
Internetes?
Their currency, as indicated in this comic. One internete is roughly one of today's US dollars, for easy conversion.
Edit: Note added to comic. It certainly is worth mentioning.
i just noticed, Kenny's twitching has stopped
Yeah, I keep forgetting to twitch his ears. I meant to fix that earlier today when I added the rings to Death's dress, but I just couldn't remember what that second edit was going to be. I'm adding the twitching right now.
Oh, I thought he just changed his medication or something
