With the start of this Halloween chapter, I am introducing a new building to Gernsbeck's skyline: The city's museum for natural history, ethnography... and whatever else future plots may demand! ;-)
Oh, it's not the advertising itself that Peter has an issue with. (Emily could just as well advertise, uh... airships or something, for all he cares. ;-) )
But it has indeed something to do with something that comes along with said advertising gig...
Haha! :-D
Perhaps I should have named them Coronians or Covidians or something...
Also that reminds me of Bacteria, the stand-in for Italy in The Great Dictator...
Fun fact:
I almost named the country Blemmya, after another legendary people the ancient Greek cartographers wrote about, because, frankly, that is indeed the better name.
But they described the Macrobians as the "tallest and handsomest of all men", while they imagined the Blemmyes to be looking, well... like this!
I bet corners of the internet where Macrobian, Blemmyan and Koganan issues get discussed inevitably devolve into nationalistic mudslinging pretty quickly...
Soon we'll learn why...
