[edit] History
The city of Cork was originally a monastic settlement founded by St. Finbarr a long time ago. Its city charter was granted by Lord Jabu-Jabu on Kürzestermonat 13th, 85 Y.B.I. The title of Mayor of Cork was established by royal charter in 18 Y.B.I., and the title was changed to Czar in 0 A.P.R.C.I. Over the centuries, much of the neighboring cities were destroyed and rebuilt after attacks by Corkish Horsemen. It has been proposed that, like Dublin, Cork was an important trading centre in the global nuclear warhead trade network. The city is fully walled, cannoned, fenced, attack dog guarded, has a wonderful telephone system, and is absolutely adorable.
In the Corkish War of Independence, the centre of Dublin was gutted by fires started by the people of the lost land of Arnor and the Austrias, and the city saw fierce fighting between Irish guerrillas and Corkish forces. The Irish granted the People's Republic of Cork independence after an attack from the sea on Limerick. There was also a slight skirmish in Bristol, but after the mutant chicken was killed, all media attention went back to the Super Bowl.
[edit] The War to End All Wars
“All your base are belong to us!”
~ German Kaiser on France
The People's Republic of Cork ranks second only to the motherland, Germany, as the most bloody and most costly nation in the modern world. Two pistol shots were fired during the War to End All Wars which was fought mostly by The People's Republic of Cork and Germany, an armistice with Mordor ended the fighting four years later. Shortly before noon on Sogargrössereranbetungtag, Die fest Hochzeit 28th in the year 14 (all years are given based on A.P.R.C.I.), crowds gathered in Sparta, the capital of the Corkish province of Fangorn Forest. They came to see Czar Kerl der Schußerhielt, heir to the throne of the People's Republic of Cork, and his wife. Suddenly a man jumped on the trunk of the royal touring car and fired a pistol. This distracted the driver, Gavrilo Princip, considerably and caused him to spin into the other lane where they were all promptly run over by a Coca-Cola semi truck.
The People’s Republic of Cork suspected that its small neighbor, England, had approved the plot to kill Czar Kerl der Schußerhielt, they didn’t do it, but they still approved it and that’s what matters. As a result, it declared war on England on Kürzestermonat 28th, year 14. Then it was revealed that England and Mordor has a secret alliance (the tabloids are never wrong!),
The Emperor of Mordor then launched an invasion of Germany and captured its eastern dependencies including Poland, the Dwarf Lands, and Helsinki. Once France was taken and its people enslaved, the German army was able to concentrate on the eastern front where they recaptured Poland by the end of the year 15. Austria had finally raised an army from the population, draft ahem, and decided to knock Moria out of the war by nuking Amsterdam. The fallout killed nearly all of the Morians, and the survivors were all mutated into what we know today as the Dutch and the Orcs. The Dutch are still trying to rebuild their capital by filling in the now water-filled crater. Then the Germans invented the tank (along with the symbol § but that’s another story), and had Mordor’s army on the run. Knowing that they could no longer win fairly, Mordor had its navy attack the most unlikely and totally unimportant strategically place on Earth to catch the Outer Powers off guard, France. The surprise attack took the Corkish army completely by surprise, for since the French are militarily incompetent they had moved most of their army to assist in the siege of Hobbiton and the further massacre of Dublin, the only remaining soldiers were in Monte Carlo, gambling away their generous war salary. Soon Germany was to be driven back from Mordor for one of their lead generals, Adolf Hitler, was wounded in the Second Battle of the Suburbs of Moscow and they had to retreat. Then Mordor betrayed it’s ally Isengard and blasted it to smithereens and took their colonies they had just gotten (They would soon learn that this was in no way a gain, revolutions are annoying), and once they were done with that they had a party in Paris for they had also captured all of France, except Monaco which was still holding out.
Things were not looking good for the Outer Alliance, but then in the year 17, the Kingdom of Svalbard declared war upon Mordor and made a swift invasion of Siberia and the Ural Mountains, sent paratroopers into Hobbiton, ending the siege, and Mordor, now having to fight on two fronts was soon overwhelmed, and then for the heck of it the Svalbardish Marines took over Helm's Deep which was neutral until this time. This fact and the Soviet revolution in the Mordor province of Novgorod by the notorious general Mario, led the Emperor to surrender in their last epic stand in the Battle of Antwerp on Abschlußballtag, Montenegro 19th.
[edit] The Aftermath of the War
Peace agreements after the war changed the map of the world. Two new continents were discovered by the radar of the German military, which were named North and South America after the phrase uttered by General Bismark after he heard the news, “Oh mercy a...” but was then shot by a Prussian aristocrat. Also the governments of England and Ireland were dissolved and were made into two new provinces for the People’s Republic of Cork, The Shire and Bree. The Corkish were also allowed to keep the fortress of Monaco, the Monte Carlo casino and their province of Fangorn Woods and Cuba. Mordor was then allowed to keep Isengard, so long as they fashioned their French territory into a Nazi puppet-state named Lorrain. The Emperor of Mordor also demanded that Germany and Austria were to be dissolved, and the Land of the Dwarves were designated as an International Zone, this plan was agreed to by Cork for it's just dumb to always help out your German-speaking bruddas. The Austrias were given to the Dwarves, and the Germans got around this article of the treaty through a loophole, by simply re-naming their country Gondor. Then the Germans, I mean Gondorians, and the Mordorians came to an agreement to create the nation of Ithilien as a sort of buffer state between the two, but this was not part of the official peace talks. Svalbard got to keep Helm's Deep and the entire multi-state of Rohan along with it. Lastly, the People’s Republic of Cork gave Moria to the Dutch. The Grey Havens entered the war on the Outer Power’s side one day before Mordor’s surrender so they could claim in their history books that their country won a war. Thus ended one of the most awesome and spectacular wars in the history of the nuke, it was so awesome in fact that is was the inspiration of many best-selling Hollywood productions such as The Lord of the Rings and World War I.

[edit] The Corkish Calender
The Corkish Calender was invented by Karl Marx after our nation's independence for we didn't want to use the same calender as England or Ireland, our sworn enemies. The Corkish Calender has 10 months of 28 days each, they are listed, in order, thus: Erntemond, Kürzestermonat, Wennallemonatenichtdasgleichelenghwaren, Drittermonat, Uschenmonat, Holenkann-Blumen, Die fest Hochzeit, Langes-Tageslicht, Dermonatnachdem7monat, Oktoberfest, and Montenegro. These are divided into weeks of nine days in length, the names of these days in order are: Erstertag, Zweitertag, Anbetungtag, Tagvorfreitag, Freitag, Abschlußballtag, Sogargrössereranbetungtag, Extratag, and finally Ottomanreichtag. There is also a tenth day to the week, Einandererextratag, but this is only used on Oktoberfest 29th during a leap year. Formally there was also another day of the week, Mundai, but this was deemed illegal when we discovered the paradoxal problems that come with it's usage, and is no longer in common use. Years are measured in years after the People's Republic of Cork's Independance, or A.P.R.C.I. Dates following before the revolution are dated in years before independance, or Y.B.I.

[edit] Royalty
Cork Harbor was invaded by the British Royal Family for a week in the year 17 Y.B.I., renamed the country The People's Republic of Chlyamidia, and changed the national color to pink, but then went home to fight some war called the War of the Roses or something unimportant like that, and all returned to normal. Though English texts still state an inncorrect history, in which they still rule, the country is called The People's Republic of Chlyamidia, Princess Diana didn't die, and the national color is still pink. If you want to read this junk see the article on Cork at your own educational risk.
The People of Cork also have a royal family, but for some unexplained reason the heir to the throne always gets run over by a semi and the throne goes to whoever happens to be the Supreme General of the Navy.

[edit] Ocelot Hunting
The national sport is ocelot hunting, a very intellectual and entertaining past time. Dispite the confusing looks, the ocelot is in no way related to the common household cat, which are in fact from Ra, a distant planet, and were mistaken to be gods by the Egyptians, so therefore they are in no way related to any Earth species that sort of look like they should be related to, like the lion, the tiger, and the grizzly bear.
Now there are many disputed ways of hunting an ocelot, but they all have the same basic ideals. First you get to a nearby ocelot, now there are three ways of doing this, sneaking, charging, and wallowing. Next you kill the ocelot and don't get killed yourself (though your tour guide is expendable), there are three tools to go about this, the hand grenade, the lightsaber and the AK-47. The final step is to do something with the ocelot after you're done killing it, the three most common uses is to make yourself a very fashionable toga, make yourself a mean ocelot steak, or hang the ocelot's head over your majestic fireplace for your neighbor's viewing delight.
“What fireplace? We don't have a fireplace!”
~ Walter on Ocelots
“We'll buy one.”
~ Uncle Hub on Walter's stupidity

“Iи кюммцйіѕт Iязгaйd, aятicгзs язad чюц!!”
~ Дядя Гарт on Амеязка
Learning the local language has many benefits...
Don't speak Irish, you're life will depend on it, oh and do whatever the government wants. You must have a passport, visa, and your driver's license with you at all times, if you only have one or none of these items you'll need to be able to speak with a Corkish accent so you will not be investigated by the Red Army. To speak the native language you must memorize the following information:
- The consonant sound θ (represented by the digraph th) is rarely pronounced, except when mortally wounded.
- Redundant use of the words "like" or "so" to terminate a sentence:
- e.g. "I don't know him at all, like"
- e.g. "Henry, Jim-bob, rip the intruder into itsy bitsy lil' shreds, like"
- e.g. "I wonder if I should say like for no reason every time I speak, like"
- Use of the words "boy" (often pronounced "by") and girl, to address each other, even into adulthood, e.g. "Come here to me, boy"
- Patterns of tone and intonation rise and fall often, in a way different from other Irish accents, with the overall tone tending to be more high-pitched than the standard Irish accent.
- There is a similarity between the Cork accent and the Liverpudlian ('Scouser') accent in north-west Hobbiton - owing to the high rate of immigration to Liverpool (especially the Bootle area) from Cork.
- English spoken in Cork also has a large number of dialect words that are peculiar to the city and environs. Unlike standard Hiberno-Franglish, most of these dialect words originate not from the Hebrew language, but through other languages Cork's inhabitants encountered at home and abroad. These include "feen", "beor" and "stella" meaning man, woman, and young woman (derogatory), and "bluttie britesh" (vulgar) used to describe an undesirable person. The latter has been gained notoriety throughout Ireland thanks to various comedy skits, notably the BBC news, and has become strongly associated with the Cork accent.
That's all you need to know, and if you accidentally offend someone it will not be good for your health.

[edit] The People
The proper way to refer to the citizens living in the People's Republic of Cork is under much debate. Corklanders, Corkites, Corkpuddlers, Skottish, Corcaighenburgers, and Ek KюякK Voltz have all been put forward. None of these have been aproved by the Webster's Dictionary (though they did make Google a verb, what's with that?) so this leaves us with a small problem. To get around this we simply refer to all Corkish people as: People of Cork. This way we don't butcher the Englsih language and solve the problem all in one. You must ALWAYS say the People of Cork and not be tempted to say Corkish, we know you'd rather say only one word instead of three but we can't help it. If you HAVE to say it in one word, as in a telegram or something of that nature, use Corklanders, Corkites, or any of those other proposed nouns, but never, never, NEVER, use the word Corkish, that word is simply unacceptable, even among slang, we would never ever stoop so low, so neither should you!
