A Fanatic's Fantasies
The highly suspect "Illuminated Order of Shuzzag-Khân" may be ridiculous enough on its own, but Kalopian would-be immigrant Constantine "Gurbûzz" Peridiakis seems intent on adding a laugh or two. After being in the country for nearly three month, he applied for citizenship and tried to pass the mandatory test.
We are not allowed to publish the results of the test, but here's what ministry clerk Jimmy P. (Name altered) says: "That guy Gurbûzz, eh? Well, he was strange enough for sure with his robes and his strange language; but I guess that's Kalopia for you. And the answers he wrote! Wanna hear an example? Head of State of Telamon: Shuzzag-Khân, for He rules the world and all the nations therein (cf. Book of Gûz 13:4). Can you believe it??? It was hilarious!"
We have positive information that the other answers by Mr Peridiakis were rather along that line; and we believe our readers to be able to make an educated guess about the outcome of the test. Anyway, it seems that Mr Peridiakis is going home. Asked by our local reporter, he stated: "Of course I passed the test; it was a worthy challenge, but the Great Worm gave me wisdom and so I was able to overcome all obstacles and show the Power and the Glory of Shuzzag-Khân! But now I shall sail home to Kalopia, to spread the word of the Khân and his Prophet Supreme; for that is what the Prophet has ordered, and his word is law! And behold! Kalopia shall rise to glories unheard of!"
We leave it at that.
