Rupert's Land
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Rupert's Land is a British colony formed in 1670. It was in that year that, under the Company's charter of incorporation, King Charles II of England gave the aptly named The Hudson's Bay Company a monopoly over Hudson Bay and an adjacent 1.5 million square miles of land, rivers, and lakes.
Rupert's Land is currently one of Great Britain's most lucrative colonies, second only to cod-rich New Found Land. Rupert's Land is named after the Company's first governor, Prince Rupert of British Columbia.
Fur trapping is the main economic activity in Rupert's Land. It is done by the area's inhabitants, most of whom are laid-off automobile factory workers from the Canadian province of Ontario. They trade beaver pelts in exchange for HBC signature multicoloured blankets, video games, and National Geographic magazines from The Hudson's Bay Company.
Neighbouring Canada is trying real hard to strike a deal with Queen Liz Windsor to obtain Rupert's Land, as it wants to have the beaver for a national symbol, to unite Canada East and Canada West, and to gain a better-looking outline shape for Canada on world maps. On the other hand, The Hudson's Bay Company is also negotiating real hard, and insists on having a 300 year fashion boutique monopoly throughout Canada as a term of Rupert's Land union with Canada.
