Floridia
Once found and colonized, this planet was said to be a paradise, a place
where people could live in peace and harmony, just like ignorant simple-
minded rabbits. Said people began to emulate rabbits and soon the planet
was turned into an overpopulated, polluted, sea snake infested hole.
Over the long history of the world, many outside governments have
attempted to impose their rule upon the local Floridians, but none met
with success until the Empire exerted its iron grip. The populace of
Floridia was always too ignorant to realize that they could change their
age old system of government, (which involved electing the most
prominent pimp on the planet to the position of Supreme Overlord) so they
remained completely oblivious to outside influence...
Except for the tourists. Oh how they poured in by the billions, clogging
the transportation systems and stunning the native Floridians. To cope
with the influx, the Floridians turned to drugs and back to their ancient
ritual of Casual Sex as a means to escape the horrors. Receding even
further into their dysfunctional lives, the poor senseless Floridians
began creating music to express themselves...
And thus, the legendary music of Floridia became infamous
throughout the galaxy as a horrible cacophony of intolerable sounds the
likes of which could turn a Hutt's stomach and shake the concentration of
a Sith Lord. The 'music' is considered extremely bad taste to listen to
off-planet, and in some systems carries the death penalty to all who
would be so bent as to enjoy it.
While many consider it a paradise, Floridia does have its share of
natural perks that the inhabitants must deal with. These range from the
horrid tropical hurricanes that rage up in abundance, to local wildlife
such as rabid alligators, flying baracuda, and impotent sea snakes.
In typical Floridian fashion, when confronted with a danger they tend to
cry like little girls and scream for help. Many outside agencies have
formed to assist the Floridians with the problems of their own planet,
including the Hurricane Andy Charity Organization and the Pete's Pier
Activists.
