**Poggers Park**, officially known as the **👌︎♓︎♑︎♑︎♓︎♏︎ 💧︎❍︎♋︎●︎●︎⬧︎ of Poggers Park** *(pronounced 'Biggie Smalls')*, abbreviated as **PP**, is a park, country, and an enclave, surrounded by Uganda, more specifically, the Kibaale District. An extension of the country, a park in Cockermouth, Cumbria, is also considered to be a de jure part of the nation, being the site of its original location on Google Maps, hence the British-esque flag.

## Origin and culture

It was primarily created to illustrate the stupidity of Google's 'place approval' system, in regard to adding a place to Google Maps.

The official language of Poggers Park is English, however Wingdings is a recognised minority language, that is mainly spoken by pog frogs, the biggest ethnic group in Poggers Park.

It originally existed as a country of Great Britain, and an enclave, surrounded by the UK, more specifically, Cockermouth, Cumbria, until the people of Poggers Park moved to Uganda, and established a new Google Maps location there, after the Google moderators forced them out. Although the British version of Poggers Park has been left behind (for now), it still remains a part of the country.

### Eras

In the afternoon of 2 November 2020, Poggers Park was removed from Google Maps, probably because the mods grew a conscience all of a sudden. However, Frogge managed to put Poggers Park back on Google Maps, with the same coordinates, shortly after the place was removed. Thus began the Second Era.

The same thing happened during Boxing Day, of 2020, although Poggers Park was, once again, promptly re-added to Google Maps, triggering the Third Era, the exact same thing occurred around late January 2021, which started the Fourth Era, and approximately 103 days later, the Fifth Era began.

During the First Era, you were able to become a citizen of Poggers Park by rating the old Poggers Park 5 stars, on Google Maps. This is no longer applicable. Before this citizenship system was scrapped, not including Chancellor Frogge, there were 11 'Google Maps citizens'.

After immense and continuous efforts to preserve Poggers Park on Google Maps, Chancellor Frogge officially declared, on Friday, 4 June 2021, at precisely 22:42 BST, that Poggers Park would not reappear on Google Maps again, due to the immense increase in popularity that the Poggers Park meme oversaw; A new era began after this event was triggered by the Chancellor, called *\*drumroll\** the New Era.

### Symbolism

#### Flags

Poggers Park is one of the few countries in the world to have multiple official flags.

Prior to the removal of the First Era Poggers Park, an image of the First Era Flag waving had over 2,000 views on Google Maps.

##### National flags

The de facto official flag of Poggers Park, nicknamed the 'First Era Flag', used in 'official capacities' and primarily represents the Poggers Park mainland (British PP and Ugandan PP), especially British Poggers Park. Used on NationStates, wikis, etc., was used on Google Maps during the First Era, but is now no longer utilised on the site, less relevant to PP's independence, but more practical, and flag-like, tends to be the favoured flag between the two, from a vexillological perspectiveThe de jure official flag of Poggers Park, dubbed the 'Black 'n White Ensign' often used by citizens of Poggers Park with Ugandan or other African roots, who believe that Poggers Park needs to be more inclusive of African culture in its identity. It is often used by pan-Africanists and those who take an intersectional approach to Western and African cultures. The Black 'n White Ensign is not favoured as the sole national flag of Poggers Park by the current government, but is accepted as such by the Ugandan Hat PartyThe 'Independence Flag' of Poggers Park, which formerly had official status, was created after Google Maps accidentally changed the name of Poggers Park to 'The Sovereign State of Poggers Park', despite the fact that this mistake was reverted, this flag is commonly used as a symbol for Poggers culture and independence from the UK

##### Constituent national flags

Flag of British Poggers Park (BPP), shape is depicted above the line because BPP is north of Africa, the shape on the top right represents the original Poggers Park boundary, known as 'Poggermouth', the former name for the Church of Cockermouth religion, a doctrine that was founded in said boundaryFlag of Ugandan Poggers Park (UPP), shape is depicted below the line because UPP is south of Europe, the shape on the bottom left represents the boundary of UPP, in which the entirety of the population of Poggers Park now reside, due to pressure from Google Maps mods, resulting in the PP pin drop moving

##### Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms of Poggers Park, officially known as the 'Arms of the Republic', displays two Pog frogs holding the Black 'n White Ensign, with 'feels good man', written in Wingdings, below it; A cannabis plant is growing out of the flag, and a crown is situated above the leaves, symbolising Biggie Smalls' crown and the Church of Cockermouth religion
## Statistics

Poggers Park is the second-densest country in the world, behind Random Piece of Grass Two Grass Boogaloo, in terms of population, with 401,204,872,394 people per square meter.

Poggers Park is the fattest country in Grassbec. The fat greasy statists are 100% to blame for this. Members of the Fat Greasy Statists group account for over 89% of the nation's obesity figures.

## Politics

### Government

A government? In an anarchist 'country'? **Are you nuts?**

Just kidding... well, sort of.

Essentially, Poggers Park has a parliament, but the current governing party is the Wingding Defense League, an abstentionist anarchist party full of frogs, most of which are cannabis addicts. They currently have a majority of 28 seats in the Poggers (sort of) Parliament, and, being abstentionist, they refuse to attend parliament on moral grounds. Constitutionally, however, Poggers Park is a republic, and is not anarchist.

### 'Poggers Park but were actually anarchist'

**Poggers Park But We're Actually Anarchist**, stylised as **Poggers Park but were ACTUALLY anarchist**, abbreviated as **PPBWAA**, is a country on NationStates, and a political experiment by Poggers Park. It was created because PP is currently not classified as 'Anarchist' on NS, and the Wingding Defence League wanted to see what made a nation anarchist, primarily, by exploring the boundaries of anarchism by establishing a higher emphasis on a free market, and, by extension, economic freedom.

PPBWAA is not a member of the Poggers Nations, as it is viewed as an experimental project, rather than a distinguishable nation from Poggers Park. Poggers Park does not officially affiliate itself with PPBWAA, on a country-level basis, as the Poggers mainland is, in reference to its political makeup at a national level, predominantly libertarian left, ideologically.

It functions as a satellite state, and it is run by Frogge.
