BRIBE LAND



It was in the days and government of Wim Pal August; ere nay Adex Avard had taken over government scarce six years of war in Moreland. The people of Moreland were hungry, dirty, tattered and wasted. No one knew why. The answer lay in the secret soldiers of Tandef: the lord askwort of Igalortona. He had corrupted the people in his time and governance till Nil Jack took over power from him forcefully in a dastard bloody duel.

What was the problem as discovered by by the Lords of Sedem? He had planted the seed of bribe. Now, everyone took bribes and called it "compensation: a little wage, a low wage that makes a bag sink."

When Wim Pal August, the Lord erstwhile of Egalilee noticed this problem, he decided to do the undoable: he constructed large religious offering boxes on which were written: "YOU MUST PAY THE BRIBE" and "O come pay tro" and mounted road check points and manned his law enforcement officers there to compulsorily collect bribes. Everybody in town was forced to pay a bribe Willy nilly, called THE MUST PAY BRIBE, while a dingdongometer, lukilancist machine watched who complied. If anyone did, they were at Summits Day in Summits hall arrested and taken to low dingeon, where they were killed and their corpses abandoned in Avaland. When the citizens of Moreland discovered this, they vowed never to pay bribes again even under force and threat.
