=History=

Formation
Oompaloompas is a conglomerate made up of small tribes that eventually joined into one state. They were brought together by their practice of a shared religion.

World War I, World War II, and Cold War
The Oompaloompans fought covertly in the first two World Wars and were involved in the Cold War.

When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, an Oompaloompan spy took photographs and showed them to various world leaders in secret. One member of [|Room 40] was an Oompaloompan. His name was never released due to a request by the Oompaloompan government. There was a group of twenty-three elite Oompaloompan soldiers on the [|RMS Lusitania] that launched their armored balloon upon its sinking. The group escaped back to Oompaloompas on the balloon and reported the attack. The Oompaloompans then entered the war covertly, flying over enemy lines and dropping rock bombs. They were never seen thanks to new cloaking technology, and the bombs went unnoticed in the heat of battle.

In World War II, an Oompaloompan was taken prisoner by Nazis, and placed in a concentration camp. The Oompaloompan rescued several others and escaped using his armored balloon. He dropped his entire payload of rock bombs and metallic rock bombs on nearby Nazi office buildings and fled back to Oompaloompas. The attacks were covered up by Nazi Germany. Angered by the behavior of the Axis Powers, the Oompaloompan military developed Oompaloompan dance bombs. The dance bombs cause uncontrollable dancing; the dance is always the same and is the Oompaloompan dance sentence for "All hail the Time God. Oompaloompas rules." The German and Japanese forces suffered several bombing raids, and were easily defeated by Allied forces.

In the Cold War, Oompaloompas competed in the nuclear arms race, creating a largescale dance bomb and a new weapon called the Earthraiser that burrows into the ground before detonation and causes spires of rock to explode upward from the ground. However, without nuclear technology, Oompaloompas was all but ignored by the United States of America and Soviet Union.

=Government= The Oompaloompan government is a theorcracy and a brutal dictatorship run by the Llama, a religious and political leader who in actuality is a real llama (the animal), only used as a figurehead.

=Military and diplomacy= The military of Oompaloompas is somewhat primitive, and yet also quite powerful. Oompaloompans utilize unique weaponry and vehicles that no other country has equivalences to.

Weapons technology
The primary weapons of the Oompaloompans are genetically engineered fruit bombs, rock bombs, metallic rock bombs, and tree cannons. Their air force makes heavy use of special armored balloons from which they often drop their various bomb types. Smaller versions of the Oompaloompan armored balloons are carried by foot soldiers, and can be easily stored on their person and later be quickly deployed from virtually any location. Foot soldiers use tree cannons, made from shnoz wood, which comes from the native shnoz tree, which has rock-hard wood and iron-hard bark.

Foreign relations
The Oompaloompans are somewhat secretive and like to keep to themselves, so they do not interact very much with other nations. The Oompaloompans dislike most European nations due to the events of World Wars I & II. They are slightly envious of American and Russian technology, but not enough to attempt to ask for it.

=Economy= All lime green yoga balls come from Oompaloompas. It is their top export. They produce some other large rubber lime green exercise equipment, as well as exotic animals, fruit, and fruit wines.

Science and technology
The Oompaloompans have a great deal of advanced agricultural technology. Using their unique methods, they can grow more fruit trees per acre than any other country. All Oompaloompan technology is developed by state-sponsored research organizations. The first Oompaloompan invention was the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, made with American peanut butter and Oompaloompan shnooganberry jelly.

Transportation
Oompaloompans use small motorized trains that are ridden like motorcycles for ground transportation. They also use portable hot air balloons for aerial transportation.

Language
Oompaloompans communicate entirely through interpretive dance. They have dances to describe instructions, worship dances, eating dances, dances for general conversation, and dances for several other daily activities. The written version of Oompaloompan consists of several symbols that correspond to certain dance moves which, when translated, come together to form words.

Religion
Very little is known about Oompaloompans because they’re so isolated. The Oompaloompans did, however, record their religious history.

The God of Life created Oompaloompans. Things were good for a while. A new god rose, the God of Death. And the forces canceled each other out. Nothing could exist in the world. Then one god to oversee them all, the God of Time, came and to keep the gods of life and death in check, he enforced the rule of time. Time is the one force that can keep Life and Death apart because life and death cannot coexist.
