5. History of my country, The K.O.N; I want to explain to you about the name of the K.O.N. (also known as “Holland” )  The K.O.N. first was overpowered by a Spanish rule. This went to war eventually, and the war was over the “Holland” region. This eventually led to war, started by Prince William of Orange. This “Holland” name came from a region, not from the K.O.N. country.  Because of this war; the K.O.N came up with a holiday called just for Santa! It is on Dec. 4, and it is for Santa, which kids think that he comes from Spain! Click here for [next] animation

6. About the People of the KON: The population of the K.O.N. is pretty big, since it is almost the same size of Utah! It is 16.8 million people! Wow! That is not even close to the population of Utah! I thought it would be maybe a million. Another cool thing about the K.O.N. is that have a custom called crown years. When you are 5, 10, 15, 20, or 21, you get a have a “Special Birthday.” You get your house, room, bed, table, possessions, and even more stuff decorated at your home. Click here for [next] animation

7. About their lifestyles: The K.O.N. lifestyles are a little different than ours. women usually have midwives when they are pregnant. The midwives stay until the child is about 2 ½. (They are like a nanny). Children move out when they are 18. No matter what, they will be out of the house. (Yes, they will be forced out of the house) After the kids move out, they then start the dating. When people start dating, they always go on double dates. These dates are pretty much all at dance clubs. Click here for [next] animation
