Hole In Yardia

Back to main page

We have a culture full of... holes, holes, and more holes!
Anyways, here's the culture/beliefs of Hole In Yardia:

Q: What do you believe in?
A: We believe in The Almighty, The Holey Moley Naked Mole Rat.
We feed him vegan (and gluten-free) pizza every sundown.
We will be merciless to every veggie on that pizza, to ensure everything ends up in the Naked Mole Rat's mouth!
Q: What are your biggest holiday(s)?
A: They are:
  1. The Holey Day (December 6th, which marks the day we were founded.
    Well, technically, only our website was created that day, and the idea for Hole In Yardia happened much earlier but we still like to call it that). We prepare to bake the first batch of sacrificed gluten-free veggie pizza on this day, and it also marks the Hole In Yardian New Year.
  2. Naked Mole Rat Day which is October 4th (The day the Sacramento Zoo opened their Naked Mole Rat exhibit). On this day, a hole of no less than 12"x12"x12" shall be dug. At sundown, all participants release one offering into the hole and recite the following prayer: "Praise thee, O Great Naked Mole Rat, for giving us light in the darkness. Praise thee, O Great Naked Mole Rat, for giving us treasures of the ages. Praise thee, O Great Naked Mole Rat, for being so great, for being so naked, for being so mole, and for being so rat."
  3. Finally, on June 22nd, is our "Eat Food With Holes In It!" day to celebrate the invention of an iconic hole food: the Donut (This is the one day where we honor holes poked en masse on an assembly line)!
Q: Take me to your leader...
A: We are ruled by His Holeyness, Aden.
Q: What are your laws/rules?
A: We follow the US laws. Additionally, no harm can be done to any naked mole rats on Hole In Yardian territory!
Also, like we said on the main page, "No currency shall be accepted unless it is dug from the earth."
Q: What is your history?
A: Our history starts in 9 million BH when the naked mole rats first tasted gluten-free veggie pizza...
Then it jumps to December 6th, 1 AH (The Holey Day) when we started making our website.
But there's plenty more to add to our history!
Q: What is your system of politics?
A: Anarchy!!! MWA HA HA HA!
Just kidding. We're an absolute monarchy.
Our full name is actually The Kingdom of Hole In Yardia.
Q: How do you certify documents and treaties?
A: We rat-ify them. Yes, literally. We put a Naked Mole Rat stamp on it.
Q: Can I become a resident/citizen?
A: Well, you can become a citizen, but not exactly a resident since it is the King's Hole.
Q: Can I visit Hole In Yardia?
A: Only if you bring an offering for the Great Naked Mole Rat...
Q: What is BH/AH?
A: They are our time system (like BC/AD/BCE/CE). BH is Before Hole, and AH is After Hole. 1 AH is the year Hole In Yardia was founded, and it just keeps on going up from there...
Q: What is your territory?
A: Our territory is our capital, Ravine (the Hole).
Q: Is the only religion about The Almighty Naked Mole Rat?
A: We believe in the freedom of speech and religion, as long as it does not harm someone (you don't have to be a follower of His Holey-Moley-ness to be a citizen of Hole In Yardia!)
Q: Do you claim all holes or just Ravine?
A: We only claim Ravine. However, we consider all other holes to be Holey Ground.
Q: What is "Holey Ground"?
A: Long long ago, The Great Naked Mole Rat blessed all the holes (and he still is blessing them). All holes, whether part of Hole In Yardia or not, are still considered Holey Ground. The only exception is, however, the holes must not be manufactured on an assembly line. They must be made by Mother Nature, or dug through honorable physical exertion.
Q: What is your system of currency?
A: We run on a barter system, where anything dug from the ground is valid currency. It's time to start digging!
Q: Do you have a national anthem?
A: We are still in the process of deciding one! Maybe, one day, the Great Naked Mole Rat will give us a vision...
