Have you heard of the tiny Eastern European province of Yrsczstan? No? Well, you’re not alone. In fact, most of its own citizens only know it by its former name — “The People’s Oblast of Vlad” (roughly translated) — because of constant political upheaval. Well, Yrsczstan’s Ministry of Promotions and Goats hopes to eradicate the land’s obscurity by opening its borders to the Internet.
Last week, the Ministry created a page on MySpace to make friends with the site’s 100 million+ users. Their desire is to connect with curious travelers and lure them to the province in a non-sexual-predator way. Yrsczstan describes itself on the site very succinctly: “We made mostly of factories and large women. We also have strong export of radioactive plastics.”
As of the time of this post, Yrsczstan only has one friend: Tom.
