Mesfate

Mesfate is bordered by Lake Doramos to the South, Ostona to the East, Sealide to the North, and Iobite to the West.

Mesfate is a tourist state. Nearly all of its constructions are theme parks, rides, circuses, theaters, arenas, and other entertaining things. EVERYTHING costs money in Mesfate, even urination, because only pay-to-use toilet-rides are allowed in the state.

Because of the risk of becoming an indentured servant, it is advised that you stay as far away from Mesfate as you can.

## Mesfate's Indentured Servitude

Mesfate is designed to suck every penny out of whoever enters it, often making tourists (especially in Lower Mesfate) spend more than they actually have, causing them to be indebted to the state. Those indebted must work for them until they restore their debt, but they cannot work off their debt without living in the state, and they cannot live in the state without constantly giving the state money. If you are not allowed to own a car, and the roller coaster that takes you to the small-world-ripoff that leads to your work costs money, and you can't walk there because you'd be walking on roller coaster tracks, you're gonna need to spend money. Additionally, the state makes it as hard as possible for people to leave Lower Mesfate as it can, although it is not technically impossible.

Nearly all of Mesfate's workers are indentured servants. Servants are given enough money for housing, food, water, all the necessities, usually just barely enough. Those who are more public-facing, like preformers or ticket-wrippers, are usually given more money. Indebted peoples are forbidden from leaving the state.

## Lower Mesfate and Upper Mesfate

Mesfate is split into two areas: Lower Mesfate and Upper Mesfate. Lower Mesfate is most of the surface and most of the subterranean parks.

Lower Mesfate is the least recognizable and less fun of the two. It is where Mesfate milks money from poor people, to turn them into indentured servants. It is made almost entirely of rides, so that out-of-staters have to spend money to go anywhere and do anything. There are no roads, no sidewalks, and it is mostly underground. Generally, as you get closer to the surface, the rides become more fun, the attempts to milk you become more complex and entertaining.

Upper Mesfate is for people too rich/informed/etc to be turned into servants in Lower Mesfate. Its' various entertainment venues and workers treat their guests as well as possible and entertain them as much as possible to make them as likely to return as possible and to wanna stay as long as possible. Numerous state boards monitor the activities of the various entertainment venus and parks that make up this part of the state, to ensure they meet the state's high standards, and the employees will fulfill even the most ridiculous request. Because Upper Mesfate cares about their reputation, nobody is ever sent from Upper Mesfate to Lower Mesfate without their videotaped verbal and signed consent.

## Roller-Tunnel Rides

"Roller-tunnel rides" are what Mesfate calls the tunnels it builds from various other backstates to its own state. When someone straps themselves into the seat, they will be launched forward at 150 MPH, only stopping when they reach Mesfate (almost always Lower Mesfate). It is very hard to fool backstates residents into using one of these "rides", so they are generally only placed in backstates that are connected to frontstates and in Tyirs. Since 1979, more than 50% of Tyirs' population has been relocated to Mesfate. Almost none have escaped.

## Punishment Rides

Punishment rides are meant to traumatise the rider into submitting to the wills and officers of Mesfate. Punishments are given to employees and guests in Lower Mesfate (never Upper Mesfate) whenever higher-ups deem it appropriate. Some were intially intended for use by guests, and all can be used by them.

Mesfate denies the existence of such rides.

Some "popular" punishment rides are:

### The ElectroCoaster

Guests are stripped naked before using The Electrocoaster.

This is a rollercoaster that rubs a special form of battery between two subtances whenever it is in motion. Substance A is attached to the cart, and substance B is attached to the track. This charges the battery. Whenever the battery is being charged, it shocks the entirely-metal cart. The cart is a rectangle, with unbreakable metal grates making up most of the walls and ceiling. It has enough room to comfortably fit four 6' adult men, if they sit. As the ride goes faster, the battery becomes more charged, and the shocks become more intense.

### Sadist Clown Theater

This theater consists of two rooms, seperated by a two-way mirror. The room that can see into the other is decorated like a circus, has a clown in it, and has several seats. The other room is colorfully painted, each wall, floor and ceiling a different color, and is all concrete. In the middle, there is a grate painted the same color as the floor. At all times, when the ride is not currently runnning, two employees are inside the concrete room, both naked and body-painted to look like clowns. When a guest pays and enters, one of the employees will be injected with a paralyzer that makes it so they can barely move anything that is below their head. Various objects will then start to fall from overhead, and the unparalyzed employee will use them on the paralyzed one, attempting to torture them. They are usually objects that are not meant to be used for torture. When a new tool drops, the employee stops using the tool and switches to the new one immediately. When one employee is dead, the other employee is allowed to leave.

If you try to stop watching, the clown will abuse you and force you to watch. If you upset him, he will paralyze you with the same substance.

(This ride may be a hoax. Mesfate has a history of crafting stories of ridiculous fake rides, to discredit reports of others.)

### The Trauma Pod

Guests who enter the pod, close it and turn it on will soon find themselves encased in a hard plastic, except for the mouth and half the nose, unable to move. They will be auditorially assaulted by things like crying babies, anguished screaming and other loud frightening sounds. The bottoms of their feet and the palms of their hands will be attacked by sharp needles that are slowly, deeply and repeatedly poked into them at random speeds. The top of their head will be electrocuted in random pulses. A very strong foul-tasting substance will be put on their tongue, which is very hard to remove. Temperatures vary wildly from extreme cold to extreme hot.
