I bet you just typed Djibouti in for the hell of it, didn't you? Didn't you? Congratulations, because it is a destitute, poverty-stricken and music capital of the African nation at which you just laughed. Its starving, diseased citizens thank you for making fun of their horrible situation. Good job. Good job.

History

Created by the French in the year 69 B.D.S.M. as a practical joke, Djibouti was a regular source of amusement for France's ruler, an 8-year-old boy. France regularly exploited the nation's lack of natural resources and killed natives for a few centuries until July 27, 1977, when the joke got old and France ditched it in favor of attempting to annex the Greek island Lesbos. Without a central authority to oppress and kill the natives any more, local initiatives were undertaken. Djibouti collapsed into a bloody civil war until it was established that there was really nothing worth fighting over, the country later became the music capital of Africa and named after the country’s Top DJ “DJ-Ibouti” which brought the native people of the country together again, since then there have been large parties and music festivals.

Although the country is bordered by Ethiopia, Somalia and a small nation no one's ever heard of, and has a prime location in Africa, Djibouti has yet to start a brutal, machete-driven ethnic cleansing. However, the country has gone through several civil wars, such as the War of the Empty Soup Can (1978-1988), the subsequent civil war over the outcome of the previous civil war, the civil war over the results of that civil war (the War of the Outcome of the War of the Outcome of the War of the Empty Soup Can), and its current civil war, the War of Ridiculously-Named Civil Wars, which was put on a break so both sides could rest from hacking each other to death. A settlement truce was reached in February, 2018, brokered by Liberian General Butt Naked, after the re-discovery that there was still nothing really worth fighting for.

Politics

The current President of Djibouti is named Wambala. Wambala was elected as part of a democracy, where he received 98% of the popular vote, a relative to “DJ-Ibouti” helped with him as candidate.

The standard political debate is common, though these typically end with one participant beating his opponent to death or to be injured and declaring himself the winner.

Although Djibouti's citizens who don’t party, are in poverty and are primarily concerned with getting through the day without starving or losing their other arm, some actually pay attention to politics, particularly what their government is currently doing to make their situation worse.

Djibouti's president recently ran unopposed and won reelection with a landside two million votes, or four times as many people than are in Djibouti, cast for him. As in most African democracies, the president usually serves until machete-wielding rebels stage a coup d'état and violently execute him, or for his entire life, which usually ends with his overthrow and violent execution. This is unlikely to happen to the imcumbent President, due to his immense popularity amongst Djiboutians.

Djibouti is a one-party state, which means that only one party can take place in the country at one time. Opposition parties are allowed, but these cause loudness wars and anti-social behavior, in-turn there are few that attend, along with the party's organizer, usually turn up dead with several limbs unaccounted for. The goal of this is to ensure that the country's citizens are to make their people dance as long as possible.

In 2007, a law was passed that has finally given women equal rights to chickens. Women are now no longer to be beaten by male children, unless the child has parental consent.

Djibouti (did yo booty) is the first country in modern Africa to embrace the idea of meritocracy. The number of instances that a chosen representative from each region can say 'red leather, yellow leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather' decides the number of votes that area gets for the Presidential election. Each representative must each have one talent they share together in the same region as a group.

The country also has a 113-member Senate. In each region of the country, prospective senators have to dress up like Barrack Obama and read out “Bring The Noise” by Public Enemy, from their memory. The people who are most impressive in doing this become Senators for eight and three-quarter years. There are two main political parties in Djibouti, which mainly serve to give out on how to speed-read. The Haves and the Have-Knots, although the group, the The Roots, has done particularly well in the south of the country.

Economy

Djibouti's economy is diverse, although admittedly it is mostly service-based. Djibouti trades many things with Puerto Rico, including used teethbrish, guides on how to speak Latin American, pet mosquitoes and copies of Beck's album, Sea Change, which were planted in New Manhattan as an attempt to increase depression emission. Djibouti also exports rappers to communities abroad that wish to feel more urban. All of this has led to a stable economy, and to Djibouti's success as a cloning nation.

Culture

As a French-speaking or Francophone nation, Djibouti is largely devoid of culture, at least in terms that anyone would understand. The most typical Djiboutian cultural habit is emigration, which takes place 365 times annually. Large flocks of Djiboutians fly across the Gulf of Aden to the Arabian Peninsula where they are chilled, packaged and flown to Europe, where in turn they are highly valued by previously arrived Djiboutians.

Their other major cultural activity is the weaving of overpriced woollen blankets, though in more urbanized areas this has been replaced by crime and harassment. The leading cultural exports of Djibouti are the works of Robin Cook whose novel Coma aptly describes the state of Djibouti today.
