Molvania - A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry

Slzengro! (Welcome!)



from INTRODUCTION:
Molvania, the world's number one producer of beetroot and the birthplace of whooping cough, is a country steeped in history and everywhere here the past is beautifully preserved, such as in towns like Gyorik where you'll find one of the oldest nuclear reactors still operating in the world.

A worker at the Sjerezo nuclear power plant proudly demonstrates the central reactor core, safely protected by her lead-lined shawl.

As far as buildings and public monuments go Molvania is doubly blessed, having experienced two architectural golden ages: a Gothic period under Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and the late 1950s during which its Soviet-inspired love affair with non-reinforced concrete left an indelible mark on the urban landscape.

from HISTORY:
The empire converted to Christianity with the arrival of the missionary St Parthag in AD863 but reverted to paganism as soon as he left the following year. During the Dark Ages Molvania enjoyed a short period as a Muslim country, but the Koran's strict teachings against drinking, violence and extra-marital sex never caught on with the local population.

Molvania experienced a brief flowering of Renaissance culture, with some historians putting the actual period down to about three weeks towards the end of 1503. But there is certainly evidence of a renewed interest in art and culture beyond this time and during the 1520s one of Europe’s most enlightened universities was built in the country's north at Motensparg, which offered courses in ancient Greek and Latin as well as wrestling scholarships.

from SVETRANJ - ACCOMODATION BUDGET
Svetranj also offers a wide range of youth hostel accomodation, a cheap alternative to hotels. Bookings are essential as these places can get pretty busy in summer, especially now that the largest and most popular hostel, Djormi's, has been closed down by authorities after guests reported finding video cameras hidden in the women's shower facilities. (The owner, the irrepressible Viktor Djormi, originally denied all knowledge, then insisted the cameras were there for security to prevent soap and towel theft. The matter is still before the courts where a full bench of judges are now into their second year of viewing the taped evidence).
