Our Animal

The Blue Ringed Octopus....


Hapalochlaena lunulata


We chose the Blue Ringed Octopus to represent our society because we depend on water to survive and the octopus is the most deadly animal in the sea now that the larger animals have been hunted to extinction by our society for food. The octupus has been declared sacred by Heskoi because its venom is enough to kill a person in mere minutes. We have adopted the colors Blue, Orange, and Green
for our flag from the Octopus.
The Blue represents the government holding everything together. The Orange represents our society working as a whole. The Green represents the diversity of our society.

Seal

Our seal is a representation of power and stealth. The Octopus is most respected and feared by all the Giessencians, as the Giessencians are feared by others.

Our Declaration of Independence

“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”


We, as a society of individual, opinionated human beings, do hereby declare Independence from the United States of America. Our country today has become too apathetic and disinterested to have as much of an impact in the world as we once did. This country at one time was the most powerful and respected in the world, but no longer. The citizens lack the knowledge, authority and respect to make a difference in this world. We were once looked to for help, but we now look to others to help us. Money we do not have is going all over the world to lands and products we can and have lived without, resulting in trillions of dollars in debt. All over the world the United States of America is looked down on and seen as a country of dishonest, useless, mindless followers. Lack of values has become apparent. This lack of values, we personally believe, has come from too many varying religions and the obvious contempt for getting up off the couch to attend meetings. Thus, those that claim to be religious know nothing about the religion they claim affiliation with.


All this can be changed but we must backtrack almost 250 years. When our founding fathers created this country and instituted the constitution, they founded everything on the belief of God and that all are equal in his eyes. This principle has greatly diminished in our country. We believe that we must return to the ideals our fathers had in mind when this country was established. However we do not agree that one god could do everything to create and establish, not only this nation, but also the entire world. One god cannot run the entire earth. It is just too much work. All of the gods are becoming angry because so many refuse to believe in them. In order to turn away this wrath, we do henceforth and forever declare this state of Giessencis a nation independent from The United States of America.

“And for the support of this declaration, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

Signed,
Lazoa, Meriflee, Inkom, Slinzara
