I have been told that there are people who make "worlds" of their own for various reasons. Rocaterrania is a world that was made up by Renaldo Kuhler. The main reasons for making up this new world was for Kuhler to escape the realities of our own. I am not suggesting that is a bad thing, I am actually very interested on the idea of making new worlds as seen in my first "project" for Stac class.
Making a new, imaginary world was to help ignore the boring world Kuhler was born into.
The land of Rocaterrania was indeed a flawed place because it was not meant to be a utopia but still was good enough for Kuhler. As time went on Kuhler started to draw pictures of the land and develop on its history. Acting such as if it was a real place with people and buildings. The land was placed in between (or on the boarder of) Canada and the US. Which you will hear if you choose to watch the short clip that generally explains the Rocaterrania's birth.
I always found it interesting how people can imagine new civilizations from just the mind. Their ideas of how the people would look like and how they would act.

you know, I bet the people of Rocaterrania sleep on a bedROCK ...HA!!
Interesting Video. I too find myself creating new worlds constantly, or making versions of the world we currently live in, but better. This all connects to one of my favorite phrases that I made up, "This would be a lot better with firebending" Basically when something is boring to me I picture people as firebenders. Now I'm interested in seeing the worlds of all the other STACies.
