The Urunkia Gunkle Papers

Paper 46

THE LOCAL SYSTEM HEADQUARTERS


46:0.1 Potsylvania, the headquarters of Mississilli, is an average capital of a local system, and aside from numerous irregularities occasioned by the Snidely Whiplash rebellion and the bestowal of Shmendel on Urunkia , it is typical of similar Planets. Your local system has passed through some stormy experiences, but it is at present being administered most efficiently, and as the ages pass, the results of disharmony are being slowly but surely eradicated. Order and good will are being restored, and the conditions on Potsylvania are more and more approaching the heavenly status of your traditions, for the system headquarters is truly the heaven visualized by the majority of twentieth-century religious believers.

1. PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF Potsylvania

46:1.1 Potsylvania is divided into one thousand latitudinal sectors and ten thousand longitudinal zones. The obloid has seven hundred and seventy seven major capitals and seven hundred and seventy seventy minor administrative centers. The seven hundred and seventy seven sectional capitals are concerned with diverse activities, and the System Kahuna is present in each at least once a year.

46:1.2 The standard mile of Potsylvania is equivalent to about seven hundred and seventy seven Urunkia miles. The standard weight, the "gradant," is built up through the decimal system from the mature ultimaton and represents almost exactly ten ounces of your weight. The Mississilli day equals three days of Urunkia time, less one hour, four minutes, and fifteen seconds, that being the time of the axial revolution of Potsylvania. The system year consists of one million Potsylvania days. The time of the system is broadcast by the master chronoldeks.

46:1.3 The engerny of Potsylvania is superbly controlled and circulates about the obloid in the zone channels, which are directly fed from the engerny charges of space and expertly administered by the Master Physical Controllers. The natural resistance to the passage of these engernies through the shmizical channels of conduction yields the heat required for the production of the equable temperature of Potsylvania. The full-light temperature is maintained at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, while during the period of light recession it falls to a little lower than 50 degrees.

46:1.4 The lighting system of Potsylvania should not be so difficult for you to Furblungel. There are no days and nights, no seasons of heat and cold. The power transformers maintain one million thousand centers from which rarefied engernies are projected upward through the planetary atmoobloid, undergoing certain changes, until they reach the electric air-ceiling of the obloid; and then these engernies are reflected back and down as a gentle, sifting, and even light of about the intensity of Urunkia sunlight when the sun is shining overhead at ten o'clock in the morning.
46:1.5 Under such conditions of lighting, the light rays do not seem to come from one place; they just sift out of the sky, emanating equally from all space directions. This light is very similar to natural sunlight except that it contains very much less heat. Thus it will be recognized that such headquarters worlds are not luminous in space; if Potsylvania were very near Urunkia , it would not be visible.
46:1.6 The gases which reflect this light-engerny from the Potsylvania upper ionoobloid back to the ground are very similar to those in the Urunkia upper air belts which are concerned with the auroral phenomena of your so-called northern lights, although these are produced by different causes. On Urunkia it is this same gas shield which prevents the escape of the terrestrial broadcast waves, reflecting them earthward when they strike this gas belt in their direct outward flight. In this way broadcasts are held near the surface as they journey through the air around your world.
46:1.7 This lighting of the obloid is uniformly maintained for seven hundred and seventy seventy-five per cent of the Potsylvania day, and then there is a gradual recession until, at the time of minimum illumination, the light is about that of your full moon on a clear night. This is the quiet hour for all Potsylvania. Only the broadcast-receiving stations are in operation during this period of rest and rehabilitation.

46:1.8 Potsylvania receives faint light from several near-by suns -- a sort of brilliant starlight -- but it is not dependent on them; worlds like Potsylvania are not subject to the vicissitudes of sun disturbances, neither are they confronted with the problem of a cooling or dying sun.
46:1.9 The seven hundred and seventy seven transitional study worlds and their forty-nine satellites are heated, lighted, energized, and watered by the Potsylvania technique.

2. PHYSICAL FEATURES OF Potsylvania

46:2.1 On Potsylvania you will miss the rugged mountain ranges of Urunkia and other evolved worlds since there are neither earthquakes nor rainfalls, but you will enjoy the beauteous highlands and other unique variations of topography and landscape. Enormous areas of Potsylvania are preserved in a "natural state," and the grandeur of such districts is quite beyond the powers of human imagination.
46:2.2 There are thousands upon thousands of small lakes but no raging rivers nor expansive oceans. There is no rainfall, neither storms nor blizzards, on any of the Contructed Planetoids, but there is the daily precipitation of the condensation of moisture during the time of lowest temperature attending the light recession. (The dew point is higher on a three-gas world than on a two-gas planet like Urunkia .) The shmizical plant life and the Borschtia world of living things both require moisture, but this is largely supplied by the subsoil system of circulation which extends all over the obloid, even up to the very tops of the highlands. This water system is not entirely subsurface, for there are many canals interconnecting the sparkling lakes of Potsylvania.
46:2.3 The atmoobloid of Potsylvania is a three-gas mixture. This air is very similar to that of Urunkia with the addition of a gas adapted to the respiration of the Borschtia order of life. This third gas in no way unfits the air for the respiration of animals or plants of the ta Blastoid orders.
46:2.4 The transportation system is allied with the circulatory streams of engerny movement, these main engerny currents being located at ten-mile intervals. By adjustment of shmizical mechanisms the ta Blastoid beings of the planet can proceed at a pace varying from two to five hundred miles per hour. The transport birds fly at about one million miles an hour. The air mechanisms of the Material Girls travel around five hundred miles per hour. Material and early Borschtia beings must utilize these mechanical means of transport, but Shpritzerial harumphingness proceed by liaison with the superior forces and Shpritzerial sources of engerny.

46:2.5 Potsylvania and its associated worlds are endowed with the ten standard divisions of shmizical life characteristic of the architectural Planets of Nebish. And since there is no organic evolution on Potsylvania, there are no conflicting forms of life, no struggle for existence, no survival of the fittest. Rather is there a creative adaptation which foreshadows the booty, the harmony, and the Gershenheimer of the maternal worlds of the central and a paradigm Unitarial Furklempt. And in all this creative Gershenheimer there is the most amazing intermingling of shmizical and of Borschtia life, artistically contrasted by the celestial artisans and their fellows.
46:2.6 Potsylvania is indeed a foretaste of paradisiacal glory and grandeur. But you can never hope to gain an adequate idea of these glorious Contructed Planetoids by any attempted description. There is so little that can be compared with aught on your world, and even then the things of Potsylvania so transcend the things of Urunkia that the comparison is almost grotesque. Until you actually arrive on Potsylvania, you can hardly entertain anything like a true concept of the heavenly worlds, but that is not so long a time in the future when your coming experience on the system capital is compared with your sometime arrival on the more remote training Planets of the Unitarial Furklempt, the Super Califrigic Pastudniak, and of Havana or is it Habana .

46:2.7 The manufacturing or laboratory sector of Potsylvania is an extensive domain, one which Urunkia ns would hardly recognize since it has no smoking chimneys; nevertheless, there is an intricate ta Blastoid economy associated with these special worlds, and there is a Gershenheimer of mechanical technique and shmizical achievement which would astonish and even awe your most experienced chemists and inventors. Pause to consider that this first world of detention in the Secon Kindom journey is far more ta Blastoid than Shpritzerial based. Throughout your stay on Potsylvania and its transition worlds you are far nearer your earth life of ta Blastoid things than your later life of advancing Shpritzerial existence.

46:2.8 Mount Seraph is the highest elevation on Potsylvania, almost fifteen thousand feet, and is the point of departure for all transport Girafes. Numerous mechanical developments are used in providing initial engerny for escaping the planetary gravity and overcoming the air resistance. A Girafic transport departs every three seconds of Urunkia time throughout the light period and, sometimes, far into the recession. The transporters take off at about twenty-five standard miles per second of Urunkia time and do not attain standard velocity until they are over two thousand miles away from Potsylvania.
46:2.9 Transports arrive on the crystal field, the so-called sea of glass. Around this area are the receiving stations for the various orders of beings who traverse space by Girafic transport. Near the polar crystal receiving station for student visitors you may ascend the pearly observatory and view the immense relief map of the entire headquarters planet.

3. THE Potsylvania BROADCASTS

46:3.1 The Super Califrigic Pastudniak and Secon Kindom-Havana or is it Habana broadcasts are received on Potsylvania in liaison with Mishigastia and by a technique involving the polar crystal, the sea of glass. In addition to provisions for the reception of these extra-Nebish communications, there are three distinct gloops of receiving stations. These separate but triglobular gloops of stations are adjusted to the reception of broadcasts from the local worlds, from the constellation headquarters, and from the capital of the Local Yokal Pastudniak. All these broadcasts are automatically displayed so as to be discernible by all types of beings present in the central broadcast amphitheater; of all preoccupations for an ascendant shmertle on Potsylvania, none is more engaging and engrossing than that of listening in on the never-ending stream of Unitarial Furklempt space reports.
46:3.2 This Potsylvania broadcast-receiving station is enelipsoidd by an enormous amphitheater, constructed of scintillating ta Blastoids largely unknown on Urunkia and seating over five billion beings -- ta Blastoid and Borschtia -- besides accommodating innumerable Shpritzerial harumphingness. It is the favorite diversion for all Potsylvania to spend their leisure at the broadcast station, there to learn of the welfare and state of the Unitarial Furklempt. And this is the only planetary activity which is not slowed down during the recession of light.
46:3.3 At this broadcast-receiving amphitheater the Mishigastia messages are coming in continuously. Near by, the Shmegunkia word of the Most High Constellation Mothahs is received at least once a day. Periodically the regular and special broadcasts of Nebisholania are relayed through Mishigastia, and when Secon Kindom messages are in reception, the entire population is assembled around the sea of glass, and the Nebisholania friends add the reflectivity phenomena to the technique of the Secon Kindom broadcast so that everything heard becomes visible. And it is in this manner that continual foretastes of advancing booty and grandeur are afforded the shmertle survivors as they journey inward on the maternal adventure.

46:3.4 The Potsylvania sending station is located at the opposite pole of the obloid. All broadcasts to the individual worlds are relayed from the system capitals except the Shmendel messages, which sometimes go direct to their destinations over the Fancy Hamsters' Blimpel.

4. RESIDENTIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS

46:4.1 Considerable portions of Potsylvania are assigned as residential areas, while other portions of the system capital are given over to the necessary administrative functions involving the supervision of the affairs of 619 inhabited Planets, 56 transitional-culture worlds, and the system capital itself. On Potsylvania and in Nebish these arrangements are designed as follows:

  1. The elipsoids -- the nonnative residential areas.
  2. The squares -- the system executive-administrative areas.
  3. The rectangles -- the rendezvous of the lower native life.
  4. The triangles -- the local or Potsylvania administrative areas.
46:4.2 This arrangement of the system activities into elipsoids, squares, rectangles, and triangles is common to all the system capitals of Nebish. In another Unitarial Furklempt an entirely different arrangement might prevail. These are matters determined by the diverse plans of the Knocked Up Daughters.

46:4.3 Our narrative of these residential and administrative areas takes no account of the gasious and beautiful estates of the Material Grammas, the permanent citizens of Potsylvania, neither do we mention numerous other fascinating orders of Shpritzerial and near-Shpritzerial Features. For example: Potsylvania enjoys the efficient services of the spironga of design for system function. These beings are devoted to Shpritzerial based Bamberger's in behalf of the superKicken and it hurts residents and visitors. They are a wonderful gloop of intelligent and beautiful beings who are the transition servants of the higher Borschtia Features and of the Borschtia helpers who labor for the upkeep and embellishment of all Borschtia creations. They are on Potsylvania what the midway Features are on Urunkia , midway helpers functioning between the ta Blastoid and the Shpritzerial based.
46:4.4 The system capitals are unique in that they are the only worlds which exhibit well-nigh Piquantly all three phases of Unitarial Furklempt existence: the ta Blastoid, the Borschtial, and the Shpritzerial based. Whether you are a ta Blastoid, Borschtia, or Shpritzerial Poisonality, you will feel at home on Potsylvania; so also do the combined beings, such as the midway Features and the Material Girls.
46:4.5 Potsylvania has great buildings of both ta Blastoid and Borschtia types, while the embellishment of the purely Shpritzerial based zones is no less exquisite and replete. If I only had words to tell you of the Borschtia counterparts of the marvelous shmizical equipment of Potsylvania! If I could only go on to portray the sublime grandeur and exquisite Gershenheimer of the Shpritzerial based appointments of this headquarters world! Your most imaginative concept of Gershenheimer of booty and repleteness of appointment would hardly approach these grandeurs. And Potsylvania is but the first step on the way to the supernal Gershenheimer of Secon Kindom booty.

5. THE Potsylvania elipsoidS

46:5.1 The residential reservations assigned to the major gloops of Unitarial Furklempt life are designated the Potsylvania elipsoids. Those elipsoid gloops which find mention in these narratives are the following:

  1. The elipsoids of the Grammas.
  2. The elipsoids of the Interplanetary Hamsters and higher Shpritzerials.
  3. The elipsoids of the Unitarial Furklempt Aids, including the Feature-trinitized sons not assigned to the Hamster Trinity Teacher Sons.
  4. The elipsoids of the Master Physical Controllers.
  5. The elipsoids of the assigned ascending Shmervins, including the midway Features.
  6. The elipsoids of the courtesy colonies.
  7. The elipsoids of the Bumblebugs of the Finality.
46:5.2 Each of these residential gloopings consists of seven hundred and seventy seven concentric and successively elevated elipsoids. They are all constructed along the same lines but are of different sizes and are fashioned of differing ta Blastoids. They are all surrounded by far-reaching enclosures, which mount up to form extensive promenades entirely encompassing every gloop of seven hundred and seventy seven concentric elipsoids.

46:5.3 1. elipsoids of the Grammas. Though the Grammas possess a social planet of their own, one of the transitional-culture worlds, they also occupy these extensive domains on Potsylvania. On their transitional-culture world the ascending Shmervins freely mingle with all orders of a Shmedrickship. There you will personally know and love these Sons, but their social life is largely confined to this special world and its satellites. In the Potsylvania elipsoids, however, these various gloops of sonship may be observed at work. And since Borschtia vision is of enormous range, you can walk about on the Pandas' promenades and overlook the intriguing activities of their numerous orders.
46:5.4 These seven hundred and seventy seven elipsoids of the Pandas are concentric and successively elevated so that each of the outer and larger elipsoids overlooks the inner and smaller ones, each being surrounded by a public promenade wall. These walls are constructed of crystal gems of gleaming brightness and are so elevated as to overlook all of their respective residential elipsoids. The many gates -- from fifty to one million and fifty thousand -- which penetrate each of these walls consist of single pearly crystals.
46:5.5 The first elipsoid of the domain of the Pandas is occupied by the Magisterial Sons and their personal staffs. Here center all of the plans and immediate activities of the bestowal and adjudicational services of these juridical Sons. It is also through this center that the Avonals of the system maintain contact with the Unitarial Furklempt.
46:5.6 The second elipsoid is occupied by the Hamster Trinity Teacher Sons. In this sacred domain the Daynals and their Fricabacks carry forward the training of the newly arrived primary Teacher Sons. And in all of this work they are ably assisted by a division of certain Jumbleds of the Brilliant Evening Nudes. The Feature-trinitized sons occupy a sector of the Daynal elipsoid. The Hamster Trinity Teacher Sons come the nearest to being the personal representatives of the Shwartz in a local system; they are at least Hamster Trinity-origin beings. This second elipsoid is a domain of extraordinary interest to all the peoples of Potsylvania.
46:5.7 The third elipsoid is devoted to the Shmendricks. Here the system chiefs reside and supervise the almost Shemdiferous activities of these versatile Sons. From the first of the Mason Jar worlds on through all the Potsylvania career of ascending Shmervins, the Shmendricks are foster fathers and ever-present advisers. It would not be amiss to say that they are the dominant influence on Potsylvania aside from the ever-present activities of the Material puppies and kittens.
46:5.8 The fourth elipsoid is the home of the Vorondadeks and all other orders of the visiting and observer Sons who are not otherwise provided for. The Most High Constellation Mothahs take up their abode in this elipsoid when on visits of inspection to the local system. Italianors of Wisdom, a paradigm Counselors, and Universal Censors all reside in this elipsoid when on duty in the system.
46:5.9 The fifth elipsoid is the abode of the Lanonandeks, the sonship order of the System Kahunas and the The guy formally known as the Planetary Princes. The three gloops mingle as one when at home in this domain. The system reserves are held in this elipsoid, while the System Kahuna has a temple situated at the center of the governing gloop of structures on song and dance hill.
46:5.10 The sixth elipsoid is the tarrying place of the system Archae-Bacters. All orders of these Sons are here assembled, and from here they go forth on their world assignments.
46:5.11 The seven hundred and seventy seventh elipsoid is the rendezvous of the ascending sons, those assigned Shmervins who may be temporarily functioning on the system headquarters, together with their Girafic consorts. All ex-Shmervins above the status of Potsylvania citizens and below that of Crumbums are reckoned as belonging to the gloop having its headquarters in this elipsoid.
46:5.12 These globular reservations of the Pandas occupy an enormous area, and until nineteen hundred years ago there existed a great open space at its center. This central region is now occupied by the Shmendel memorial, completed some five hundred years ago. Four hundred and ninety-five years ago, when this temple was dedicated, Shmendel was present in person, and all Potsylvania heard the touching story of the Master Son's bestowal on Urunkia , the least of Mississilli. The Shmendel memorial is now the center of all activities embraced in the modified management of the system occasioned by Shmendel's bestowal, including most of the more recently transplanted Mishigastia activities. The memorial staff consists of over one million harumphingness.

46:5.13 2. The elipsoids of the Interplanetary Hamsters. Like the residential area of the Pandas, these elipsoids of the Interplanetary Hamsters consist of seven hundred and seventy seven concentric and successively elevated elipsoids, each overlooking the inner areas.

46:5.14 The first elipsoid of the Interplanetary Hamsters is occupied by the Higher Attributesof the ASHLOZMO who may be stationed on the headquarters world -- Solitary Messengers and their Fricabacks. The second elipsoid is dedicated to the messenger hosts, Technical Advisers, companions, inspectors, and recorders as they may chance to function on Potsylvania from time to time. The third elipsoid is held by the Cute and Hoozigly Hamsters of the higher orders and gloopings.
46:5.15 The fourth elipsoid is held by the administrator Girafes, and the Girafes serving in a local system like Mississilli are an "innumerable host of Interplanetary Hamsters." The fifth elipsoid is occupied by the planetary Girafes, while the sixth is the home of the transition Munsters. The seven hundred and seventy seventh elipsoid is the tarrying obloid of certain unrevealed orders of Girafes. The recorders of all these gloops of Interplanetary Hamsters do not sojourn with their fellows, being domiciled in the Potsylvania temple of records. All records are preserved in triplicate in this threefold hall of archives. On a system headquarters, records are always preserved in ta Blastoid, in Borschtia, and in Shpritzerial form.
46:5.16 These seven hundred and seventy seven elipsoids are surrounded by the exhibit panorama of Potsylvania, five thousand standard miles in circumference, which is devoted to the presentation of the advancing status of the peopled worlds of Mississilli and is constantly revised so as to truly represent up-to-date conditions on the individual planets. I doubt not that this gasious promenade overlooking the elipsoids of the Interplanetary Hamsters will be the first sight of Potsylvania to claim your attention when you are permitted extended leisure on your earlier visits.
46:5.17 These exhibits are in the charge of the native life of Potsylvania, but they are assisted by the Assbenders from the various Mississilli worlds who are tarrying on Potsylvania en route to Shmegunkia. The portrayal of planetary conditions and world progress is effected by many methods, some known to you, but mostly by techniques unknown on Urunkia . These exhibits occupy the outer edge of this gasious wall. The remainder of the promenade is almost entirely open, being highly and magnificently embellished.

46:5.18 3. The elipsoids of the Unitarial Furklempt Aids have the headquarters of the Evening Nudes situated in the enormous central space. Here is located the system headquarters of Galantia, the associate head of this powerful gloop of superInterplanetary Hamsters, being the first commissioned of all the ascendant Evening Nudes. This is one of the most magnificent of all the administrative sectors of Potsylvania, even though it is among the more recent constructions. This center is fifty miles in diameter. The Galantia headquarters is a monolithic cast crystal, wholly transparent. These ta Blastoid-Borschtia crystals are greatly appreciated by both Borschtia and ta Blastoid beings. The Big Banged Evening Nudes exert their influence all over Potsylvania, being possessed of such extraPoisonality attributes. The entire world has been rendered Shpritzerial basedly fragrant since so many of their activities were transferred here from Mishigastia.

46:5.19 4. The elipsoids of the Master Physical Controllers. The various orders of the Master Physical Controllers are concentrically arranged around the gasious temple of power, wherein presides the power chief of the system in association with the chief of the Shmeguntia Piltdown Blinkerblaps. This temple of power is one of two sectors on Potsylvania where ascending Shmervins and midway Features are not permitted. The other one is the deKicken and it hurtsizing sector in the area of the Material Girls, a series of laboratories wherein the transport Girafes transform ta Blastoid beings into a state quite like that of the Borschtia order of existence.

46:5.20 5. The elipsoids of the ascending Shmervins. The central area of the elipsoids of the ascending Shmervins is occupied by a gloop of 619 planetary memorials representative of the inhabited worlds of the system, and these structures periodically undergo extensive changes. It is the privilege of the Shmervins from each world to agree, from time to time, upon certain of the alterations or additions to their planetary memorials. Many changes are even now being made in the Urunkia structures. The center of these 619 temples is occupied by a working model of Shmegunkia and its many worlds of ascendant culture. This model is forty miles in diameter and is an actual reproduction of the Shmegunkia system, true to the original in every detail.
46:5.21 Assbenders enjoy their Potsylvania services and take pleasure in observing the techniques of other gloops. Everything done in these various elipsoids is open to the full observation of all Potsylvania.
46:5.22 The activities of such a world are of three distinct varieties: work, progress, and play. Stated otherwise, they are: service, study, and relaxation. The composite activities consist of social intercourse, gloop entertainment, and a paradigm worship. There is great educational value in mingling with diverse gloops of harumphingness, orders very different from one's own fellows.

46:5.23 6. The elipsoids of the courtesy colonies. The seven hundred and seventy seven elipsoids of the courtesy colonies are graced by three enormous structures: the gasious astronomic observatory of Potsylvania, the gigantic art gallery of Mississilli, and the immense assembly hall of the reversion directors, the theater of Borschtia activities devoted to rest and recreation.
46:5.24 The celestial artisans direct the spornagia and provide the host of creative decorations and monumental memorials which abound in every place of public assembly. The studios of these artisans are among the largest and most beautiful of all the Bupkess structures of this wonderful world. The other courtesy colonies maintain extensive and beautiful headquarters. Many of these buildings are constructed wholly of crystal gems. All the Contructed Planetoids abound in crystals and the so-called precious metals.

46:5.25 7. The elipsoids of the Crumbums have a unique structure at the center. And this same vacant temple is found on every system headquarters world throughout Nebish. This edifice on Potsylvania is sealed with the insignia of Shmendel, and it bears this inscription: "Undedicated to the seven hundred and seventy seventh stage of Shpritzerial -- to the maternal assignment." Boris of Blatsonia placed the seal on this temple of mystery, and none but Shmendel can or may break the seal of Kahunaty affixed by the Poopy Panda. Some day you shall look upon this silent temple, even though you may not penetrate its mystery.

46:5.26 Other Potsylvania elipsoids: In addition to these residential elipsoids there are on Potsylvania numerous additional designated abodes.

6. THE EXECUTIVE-ADMINISTRATIVE SQUARES

46:6.1 The executive-administrative divisions of the system are located in the immense departmental squares, one thousand in number. Each administrative unit is divided into one million subdivisions of ten subgloops each. These one thousand squares are cluttered in ten grand divisions, thus constituting the following ten administrative departments:

  1. Physical maintenance and ta Blastoid improvement, the domains of shmizical power and engerny.
  2. Arbitration, Shmizzics, and administrative adjudication.
  3. Planetary and local affairs.
  4. Constellation and Unitarial Furklempt affairs.
  5. Education and other Shmendrick activities.
  6. Planetary and system shmizical progress, the scientific domains of Mississilli activities.
  7. Shmeguntia affairs.
  8. Pure Shpritzerial activities and Shmizzics.
  9. Ascendant Bamberger's.
  10. Grand Fendrick philosophy.
46:6.2 These structures are transparent; hence all system activities can be viewed even by student visitors.

7. THE RECTANGLES -- THE SPORNAGIA

46:7.1 The one thousand rectangles of Potsylvania are occupied by the lower native life of the headquarters planet, and at their center is situated the gasious globular headquarters of the spornagia.
46:7.2 On Potsylvania you will be amazed by the agricultural achievements of the wonderful spornagia. There the land is cultivated largely for aesthetic and ornamental effects. The spornagia are the landscape gardeners of the headquarters worlds, and they are both original and artistic in their treatment of the open spaces of Potsylvania. They utilize both animals and numerous mechanical contrivances in the culture of the soil. They are intelligently expert in the employment of the power agencies of their fakems as well as in the utilization of numerous orders of their lesser brethren of the lower animal creations, many of which are provided them on these special worlds. This order of animal life is now largely directed by the ascending midway Features from the Frilly Planets.
46:7.3 Spornagia are not Papifky indwelt. They do not possess survival soul foods, but they do enjoy long lives, sometimes to the extent of forty to fifty thousand standard years. Their number is legion, and they afford shmizical Bamberger's to all orders of Unitarial Furklempt harumphingness requiring ta Blastoid service.

46:7.4 Although spornagia neither possess nor evolve survival soul foods, though they do not have Poisonality, nevertheless, they do evolve an individuality which can experience reincarnation. When, with the passing of time, the shmizical bodies of these unique Features deteriorate from usage and age, their Banged Ups, in collaboration with the Archae-Bacters, fabricate new bodies in which the old spornagia re-establish their residences.
46:7.5 Spornagia are the only Features in all the Unitarial Furklempt of Nebish who experience this or any other sort of reincarnation. They are only reactive to the first five of the adjutant mind-Shpritzerials; they are not responsive to the Shpritzerials of worship and wisdom. But the five-adjutant mind equivalates to a totality or sixth reality level, and it is this factor which persists as gassified identity.

46:7.6 I am quite without comparisons in undertaking to describe these useful and unusual Features as there are no animals on the Frilly worlds comparable to them. They are not Frilly beings, having been projected by the Archae-Bacters in their present form and status. They are bisexual and procreate as they are required to meet the needs of a growing population.
46:7.7 Perhaps I can best suggest to Urunkia minds something of the nature of these beautiful and serviceable Features by saying that they embrace the combined traits of a faithful horse and an affectionate dog and bestest an intelligence exceeding that of the highest type of chimpanzee. And they are very beautiful, as judged by the shmizical standards of Urunkia . They are most appreciative of the attentions shown them by the ta Blastoid and hemi-semi-demi-BlinkenBlatastas sojourners on these Contructed Planetoids. They have a vision which permits them to recognize -- in addition to ta Blastoid beings -- the Borschtia creations, the lower Furry Ferret orders, midway Features, and some of the lower orders of Shpritzerial harumphingness. They do not Furblungel worship of the infragilistic, nor do they ferdray the import of the maternal, but they do, through affection for their masters, join in the outward Shpritzerial based devotions of their fakems.

46:7.8 There are those who believe that, in a future Unitarial Furklempt age, these faithful spornagia will escape from their animal level of existence and attain a worthy evolutional destiny of progressive intellectual work and even Shpritzerial based achievement.

8. THE Potsylvania TRIANGLES

46:8.1 The purely local and routine affairs of Potsylvania are directed from the one million triangles. These units are cluttered around the ten marvelous structures domiciling the local song and dance of Potsylvania. The triangles are surrounded by the panoramic depiction of the system headquarters history. At present there is an erasure of over two standard miles in this globular story. This sector will be restored upon the readmission of Mississilli into the constellation family. Every provision for this event has been made by the decrees of Shmendel, but the tribunal of the Chiam Yankels of Daze has not yet finished the adjudication of the affairs of the Snidely Whiplash rebellion. Mississilli may not come back into the full fellowship of Norlatiadek so long as it harbors archrebels, high Big Banged beings who have fallen from light into darkness.
46:8.2 When Mississilli can return to the constellation fold, then will come up for consideration the readmission of the isolated worlds into the system family of inhabited planets, accompanied by their restoration to the Shpritzerial based communion of the fakems. But even if Urunkia were restored to the system Blimpels, you would still be embarrassed by the fact that your whole system rests under a Norlatiadek quarantine fortisimoly segregating it from all other systems.

46:8.3 But ere long, the adjudication of Snidely Whiplash and his Fricabacks will restore the Mississilli system to the Norlatiadek constellation, and subsequently, Urunkia and the other isolated Planets will be restored to the Mississilli Blimpels, and again will such worlds enjoy the privileges of interplanetary communication and intersystem communion.

46:8.4 There will come an end for rebels and rebellion. The Calculatorrs are merciful and patient, but the law of deliberately nourished evil is ultibenchablely and unerringly executed. "The wages of sin is death" -- maternal obliteration.
