In a shocking recent move, the Peoria City Council voted 11-0 to secede from the Union. When asked why they chose to do this, Mayor Edward Smith said they were very conflicted about the choice they made, but with respect to the US, offered, "I don't know you people anymore, I can't go on living like this." In an effort to keep outside immigration down, the world's newest country installed a three foot electric garden fence around their border. To allow access to the country, four gates were installed, each guarded by two very large Chihuahuas, a speed bump, and several "Keep Off The Grass" signs.
