History
Before the invention of a impregnation-spray, Paperland was one of the poorest lands because of innummerous and disastrous fires which rage in it and the Neanderthals was really hated by the primordial Paperians, because they where hold responsible for the invention of fire (this was certainly a failure, they only discovered it).

Geography
Paperland is located in a great basin with high mountains arround. Its a very dry country, ther no rivers and lakes in it. The Paperian woods lies in the south, they are source of life for the paperian people (more in the economy part). The capital city Karton (with his Neighborcity, Filefold City) lies near the timberline almost in the center of Paperland.

Economy
Paperland is addicted to export paper from the Paperian Woods and import foods from outside the country, because in paperland nothing can grown besides paper. Fortunately, paperian paper is really well questioned in the NSC-World because its from very good quality.

Traffic
Paperland has only paperplanes as means of transport and air shafts - as starting places - overall in the country. Paperland has also a great airport (where abnormally nothing is out of paper) for normal airplanes from other countrys nearby the capital city Karton.

It's like basketball, except that in every round of the total 20 rounds (a new round is starting when one team gets points) you must catch a paper which is hidding somewhere in the field, form the ball before you can throw them in the basket. You get 2 points for scored throw and a special bonus point if you can stay trough the karaokecontest after every scored throw.
