== = Cultural analysis: = = Food : Penlanders are very popular bakers. They primarily eat bread for breakfast and lunch, and sometimes for supper too. As their baking skill improved, their skill of making jam improved. Penlander jams are popular for its beautiful color and fantastic taste. Once a person taste the jam, he would feel like he is in heaven. Penlanders use jam as weapon as well. When war break out, Penland's jam industry would export jams with poison in it to the hostile countries. Since Penlander jam is addictive, they can't cut it. Knowing it is poisoned, the enemy consumes the jam and extinct ! = = Sport: Penlanders' number one sport is baseball. They are known to have 752 pro teams. Though some may think U.S is the origin of baseball, it is actually Penland. Americans bought the license from Penland to be the inventor themselves. = = Holiday: Every once a year, on september 29, they worship the great leader, Dennis Penmaster. He is known to be the leader who brought group of people from old kingdom of Pencilia (perished by Penlanders.) He set the famous "Pen only policy." People gather in front of great statue of Dennis the founder, and bow. After that, they visit old temple that is known to be keeping Dennis's soul in a box, and bow again. After that, it is their free time to do anything. They mostly gather in a park and play baseball, or watch baseball game. = = Traditions : The tradition of Penland strongly emphasizes respect. They believe respect to each other can bring unity and order to the society. It is proven to work; Penland never had riots or any form of protests, yet. Penlanders are strongly wanting unity. So once a year all the heads of towns gather in the capital, Dennisvile, and discuss about the nation's future. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = =1 PLB, or LB (Pen Landbill, Landbill) is equivalent to 500 Won= =10 PLB, or LB is equivalent to 5000 Won.= =100 PLB is equivalent to 50,000 won.= = No coin money, because they think it is harmful to nature. = = = = = = = = < Lisa Ahn>=
 * Economy**: The economy of Panland strongly depends on jam industry. They raise grapes, strawberry, blueberry, etc for their jam. To protect their economy, Penland is very sensitive about fire. They see it very dangerous. No one is allowed to light fire outside of their house, or even smoking is prohibited. Surprisingly, no body disagrees, and they all understand the need of sensitivity towards fire.

1. Social Contract
"People are neither good or bad. Everybody is created equally."

1. Leaders for everyone. Elected from voting, the best person who could represent the democracy of Penland is well suited for the leader position. 2. People have the right to speak freely about their own ideas and have the right to protect themselves in any shape or form. They have the right to support a person they believe to be suitable for leader. 3. Free education, sports, music, or art groups/companies for poor people to work in. 4. People are like blank sheets of paper. We are in charge of filling it out either in good shape or bad shape so education is crucial. 5. People have the power to change their leader if the leader abuses his/her power or is corrupt.
