Kelamí League: Difference between revisions

The soft drink industry in the League is regarded as what the nation is best known for internationally. Employing around three million people across the country in various fields like marketing, bottle-making, transportation, and corporate planning, the manufacture and sale of carbonated beverages has been a cash cow since the mid-1600s. The soft drink industry brings in approximately $40 billion in revenueprofit each year selling both domestically and abroad. The mountains of the League states are dotted with naturally carbonated springs, which have been used throughout history for their medicinal and recreational qualities. The state of Thàpèkunkwèké and its constituent tribes are named after these springs. The Thàpèkunkwèké people are historically known for distilling beverages from spring water and the bark and sap of trees, usually maple and birch. In a similar vein, the Pahsaèkatëmatwa'áku people would mix sassafras roots with spring water for a medicinal drink. As the League states modernized and began more regular trade with other nations, these carbonated drinks became highly-prized for their taste, unusual physical effects, and purported remedial qualities. The introduction of honey, and from warmer climates, sugar, increased the popularity and value of the drinks, which would come to be known as ''mpe'chgeyne,'' roughly meaning "bubble water."
