| 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. | |
