Good morning, class. Today we'll be learning about the small third-world nation of Pacmanistan.
Though their land is poor in resources, the cultural and spirital wealth of the Pacman people is quite impressive.
The region's staple food is a small, tastless wafer of unleavened bread. The name for these wafers translates roughly as "dots". Fruits are rare, and highly prized.
But the Pacmans are a very superstitious people. A common religious ritual involves the consumption of vitamin pills which are believed to ward off ghosts.
Sadly, Pacmanistan is behind the curve in terms of civil rights. Women are forced to wear red or pink ribbons at all times while in public.
Yet despite their flaws, the arts and customs of Pacmanistan have been imitated repeatedly by other societies. I dare say they affect the way we think, even how we dress.
