HISTORY:• Basic overview: Pejama was founded by Jacquie Pejama on October

8,1995. On January 1, 2004 Pejama gained independence from the Great Choco-Land when a great battle was fought. In the year 2005 Jacquie Pejama decided that the Pejamanians’ needed their own money so the first Pejama bill was made.

• Three external events in Pejama were, the creation of the Pejama bill in 2005, the annual full moon celabration in 2007,and the annual Pejama parade in 2008.

• In early 2006, Pejama was overcome with severe floods due to torrential rainfalls that lasted over 2 weeks. This caused Great Teddy Bear Lake and Nightmare Lake to overflow the surrounding areas and many people lost their homes.

• Later in the year, there was a severe drought throughout the land which caused many fires in the Hushed Mountains range. The native animals such as the Napdog and the Sheepamasaurus were relocated to the northern part of the country near Snore Lake where there was much fields available for the animals to graze in.

• J. Pejama discovered a new mineral to make gas and it was called petroflower. Pejamanians do not need regular gas to power their cars.

• J. Pejama has turned the country around. She has led Pejama to be the number one maker of petroflower so that many other countries do not have to rely on getting their gasoline resources from the Middle East countries.
