| History: |
Measalton declared its independence in 2024 after a series of highly dramatic misunderstandings. For years, it was mistakenly ruled by a distant empire that didn't even know Measalton existed. Once they figured it out, Measalton politely asked for independence, to which the empire responded, "Wait, who are you again?"
That same person who first stood up for the independence of the people of this land was his ‘Royal Highness Ghazi Subhan Nasir The 1st’ who himself is a late decedent
of the earliest Muslim companions and leaders so makes sense that he took the step for independence and he had the confidence to do so.
The actual independence ceremony was marked by an unforgettable moment in history: the awkward handshake between Measalton's representatives and a visiting dignitary who mispronounced the country's name three times in a row.
After that, the real highlight was the unveiling of a giant piñata shaped like a loaf of sourdough bread—a symbol of unity, tradition, and, apparently, absurdly hard construction.
Unfortunately, the piñata breaking didn't go as planned. Instead of the ceremonial piñata bat, someone handed the king a decorative baguette, which, while stunning to look at, was completely ineffective in cracking open the piñata. For 45 long, excruciating minutes, various officials took turns whacking at the bread-shaped piñata with anything they could find-umbrellas, sandals, even a chair. At one point, a particularly enthusiastic attempt involved a pool noodle, which only made things worse.
Finally, after a brief moment of panic when someone suggested bringing in a sledgehammer, the piñata burst open on its own-likely out of pity-releasing an avalanche of confetti, miniature croissants, and exactly 1,000 gummy camels. The gummy camels are now a national delicacy, despite being completely inedible due to their rock-hard texture.
The incident has since gone down in Measaltonian history as "The Great
Piñata Fiasco," "فشل البينياتا العظيم"
each year, citizens commemorate it by breaking open mini sourdough-shaped piñatas using the proper equipment—anything but a baguette. |

Key Terrain Features:
> The Mirage Lakes: Beautiful, shimmering lakes that appear every afternoon and disappear once people try to fish.
> The Floating City of Air
Conditioning: An urban legend, supposedly a city where it's never too hot, and the Wi-Fi always works.
> Mount Snooze
The highest peak in Measalton, standing at a towering peak 15,000ft (yes, you read that right). Despite its tall height, it's famous for its"Nap Summit," where climbers stop halfway to enjoy a scenic nap with free lemonade. Many adventurers have never actually reached the top because it gets more harder to climb after its halfway climbed and the hammock station near the summit is too relaxing.
> The Valley of Perpetual Picnic
A lush, green valley where the weather is always perfect for a picnic.Legend has it that no one has ever finished a meal here because they keep falling asleep under the shade of the "Dream Trees," which give off a mysterious drowsy scent. The valley is also home to rare "Pillow-Soft Grass," making it the ultimate nap destination for locals and tourists alike.
> The Bread Dunes
A vast desert of soft, sandy dunes said to resemble endless loaves of bread. The sand is so fine and golden that it looks like freshly baked sourdough crust. It's rumored that the dunes are the birthplace of
Measalton's famous bread obsession, as early settlers would gaze at the landscape and become overwhelmingly hungry. Today, sandboarding here is a popular pastime, with boards shaped like giant baguettes.
> The Floating Isle of Unfound
Socks
A mysterious island that drifts along the coast, shrouded in mist. Local folklore claims the island is where all
lost socks from laundry machines eventually wash up. Brave souls have set out to find the island but always return empty-handed, with only vague memories of mismatched socks flying through the air. The government now considers it a protected sock sanctuary.
> Lake Chai Latte
Measalton's largest and warmest lake, which inexplicably smells of spiced tea. The lake is popular for its year-round warm waters and is surrounded by "Cinnamon Hills." Scientists have yet to figure out why the water occasionally fizzes, but locals believe it's blessed by & ent baristas. Swimming here is said to give you a sudden craving for dessert.
> The Cliff of Indecision
A rocky cliff where the sea meets the land, famous for its mesmerizing views that have caused people to stand for hours debating which restaurant to visit afterward. Visitors
report being unable to make simple decisions when standing on the cliff, which has led to the area being declared a "Procrastination Zone." The local government has placed signs around the cliff encouraging people to "Just Decide Already!"
> The Croissant Caves
A series of caves with entrances shaped like the perfect crescent croissant. Inside, natural formations resemble giant pastries, and the walls are said to emit a faint buttery aroma. These caves are a popular tourist destination, where guided tours are given by local pastry chefs who insist on offering everyone an actual croissant at the end of the tour (because, why not?).
Measalton: A land of dreamy landscapes, endless snacks, and enough nap spots to last a lifetime.
