[@brandenmanuel2037]

I honestly thought this was a real country when I was younger and even tried to look up more info about it on google Then I realized it was a April fools joke Lol!

I did notice the flag seemed odd with the asian style writing. I also was thinking y isnt this a major tourist destination with the black sand beaches. I was foresure it would have got slammed by the tsumani and that wouldve been mentioned. after all that I was still fooled lol!!

[@Nardo13T13Icarus]

Got fooled 2.5 years later. Good one buddy. I was just wondering where on earth did this small island come up in the Indian Ocean and I've not heard about it.

God damnit. I mean how could I not fall for this, this was so damn convincing. I was so surprised how I hadn't heard about this place before, and never seen it's flag anywhere before. This has been such a rollercoaster of emotions, I learned something new and had it taken away from me so fast. I feel betrayed.
