ALL HAIL ORANGINA!!!

      Location: Orangina is a really small country located 6000 degrees North and 4800 degrees east. It’s really near 2 other countries which are Pepsi and Coca Cola. The distance between Orangina and Pepsi or Coca Cola is 600 kilometers. People in Orangina just need half a day on the Hyper Nitro Carbon Cano to get to Pepsi or Coca Cola. Other side of Orangina is cover with Heineken Sea.

       Place: In the west of Orangina, there are Giant Orange Tree and Gaz Volcano. Giant Orange Tree is a really big tree that covers about 10% of Orangina. People lived near the tree are normal people or people from the factory. Orange is a really important ingredient for the country’s soft drink (unique from Pepsi and Coca Cola). The tree is in great protection with many soldier and plant scientist to keep it in the best mode all the time. The worker from the factory will harvest the tree everyday and take them to the factory. Gaz Mountain is also a really important part of Orangina. Gaz also an important ingredient for soft drink but it’s not really unique. Orangina exchanges with Pepsi and Coca Cola Gaz to gets Caffeine and Sugar. There is no one live here because they don’t want to blow up to the sky because of the gaz. There’s just worker from the factory live here. The capital of Orangina is Inox. It’s a really big and beautiful city. There are giant Orangina Soft Drink Bottles all for the place to decorate the city. People in here are really modern; not like people live in small village. They use new technology and do work that use high intelligent like bottle designer, flavor scientist, business, or maybe OPS (Orangina Professional Spy).
      Region: People in Orangina had an orange skin and they always have a really positive altitude on everything. Most of the people in here are farmer because Orangina contain many river and soil so it’s really good for growing rice or crop. Orangina is a really hot country. There is not even snow in here. All of the time is warm or hot. But this climate able the farmer to grow crop all the year without any interruption cause of weather. The worst thing in Orangina is flood and storm. They appear in every village in Orangina. Even the capital had flood sometimes. The reasons are Orangina has so many rivers and the weather is so hot so rain usually appears.
      Movement: There are the period when Pepsi broke the peace between 3 countries and conquered Coca Cola and Orangina. Many people from Pepsi came to Orangina to control and tortured people in there. Their way to torture are to make Orangina people drink diet soft drink and banned orange. Many people go insane and commit suicide because of the DIET PEPSI. Not for long, Zack Phan, former CEO of Orangina, and Mary Minnick, CEO of Coca Cola defeated Pepsi and Indra Novy, CEO of Pepsi, with a really powerful resistance.
      Human Environment Interaction: Flood has killed 2 billion of people in Orangina in 5 years. In the village, people started to build a really big wall called The Great Wall to defend against the water. In every village or city, the government builds a really tall tower called Full House and people will go in there whenever floods come. Government also builds a really thick and big box underneath the ground 100 meters in every village or city. Orangina people can be safe in there during the Storm or Water Bomb. A biggest one is in Inox and it’s called Freedom Palace.

Family Tree


I learned many things about other classmate culture and religion. Like I knew that some traditional of Buddhaism is to pray every evening, go to temple and also sometimes don’t eat meat for a month or a day. I also learned many things about other country culture. Like in Sarah’s presentation, we learned more about Korean traditional and their clothes. Lisa’s way to present her family tree was really cool. I like how she collected all the pictures and put it in one place.
I really like my classmate’s idea about education. All of them thought that Vietnamese education was really strict and not encourage creativity. I agree with them too. My brother studied in public school for twelve years and he also said that. I learned nothing more about myself. My dad told me most of the things when I was young. I really enjoyed the presentation and everyone did very well.
