What is the Karton Empire? - it sounds scary!
The Karton Empire is a mostly peace loving empire located on a small island somewhere near Australia (not sure where).
The IC River (IC = Iced Coffee) runs through the centre of the Island and is the life blood of the economy. The Karton Empire exports billions of cartons of Iced Coffee annually accounting for 90% of all GDP!
Harktown
Harktown is a small town located on the IC River in the centre of the Roe Island. The small town has a population of just 252. But they are not all human! The town is home to all sorts, including humans, animals, monsters, aliens and other 'creatures'. Of course, such a small population results in everyone knowing each others business, but hey, it’s kind a nice too. PS: Visitors are always welcome.
Harktown is right at the centre of the Island's bustling industry, supplying a large portion of the worlds Iced Coffee Production. Iced Coffee Tree Orchards surround the town and have made the town famous. It takes great skill and the right climate for Iced Coffee Trees to grow and the grass-lands of the hark plains seem to suit the tree perfectly.
The Island is believed to be man made thousands of years ago, but all history and memory is lost. Archaeological evidence and the peculiar round shape of the island are the only clues as to its origin.
The whole empire is sporting mad! They have adopted many sporting codes from all around the globe including Aussie Rules Football, Cricket, Football, American Football, Baseball and more…
