  1. First comment~! haha

    I really liked this book. It was really interesting and was humourous at the same time. The pictures were simple but were still good. The book teaches you about how countries are made and how to make them successful even though they might be just for fun and not for serious purposes. :)

  16. After I read this book I started going around my house and claming parts of the land. Then I stared making flags and typing them to the walls of my land space. Now because most of the land is mine I don't have to be scared that I would have war with other countries.

  17. This book inspired me to make my own country. I'm desighning a flag, writing a national anthem, and even making things like laws and national foods up. I still need something to fill in the blank though: The Sovergein State Of _____________. My country is an oligarchy, my family rules it. My dad bought 500 acres for the country and is beginning construction.Soon we will begin to attract immigarnts. In 2 years I'm moving there. After people live there my dad will buy another 500 acres and construct more houses. After all this has been done, my country will have a vote and we will officially declare independence. This could take years though.

  22. I really liked this book because it has inspired me to build my own country in my bedroom, but I am also conquering the bathroom so I can get out of cleaning it. This book was humorous, and I liked the parts about citizens of Bathmatia and their national hair style, and the passports, anthem, motto, and map. It was cool how all those little kids, and older kids, and adults all made their own different countries. I think I shall adopt the National Scream Day for my country too, as it consists of only one person, the High and Honourable Queen Aurora, ruler of Bedroomistan. I don't have much to command though, which is why I want to scream. Aurora

  24. The book how to build your own country was humorus and interesting the humorus part of was when the narrator was telling the story of bathamia and when ever you would get out of cleaning the bathroom because you were in controll of the bathdub. What I thought was interesting about how to build your own country was the tree of government so and I didnt relize there was so much to do to when you put together a government there are the taxes and the bills. jr G6

  25. When I finished reading this book just today. Let put you on a secret, I started reading in the morning and finnished in the afternoon, can you belive it! probly because I couldn't tear myslef away from it or because I'm a quick reader. I found this book interesting, But I doubt that someone will build a new country. The part I liked best is when it said that even a bathmat can be country. I liked this part because it was funny.
