A poultry farm, run by the chickens
Kisi is a working poultry farm in southwestern Nigeria, and the chickens run the place. They have a President, a Coop Assembly, a free press, a sports league, and very strong opinions about breakfast. So the eggs are counted honestly, every bird is in fine feather, and everything around here is clucking eggxellent. Welcome to the Republic of Kisi.
“Visitor, you are welcome. You will find here a nation of industry and dignity, where the eggs are counted honestly, the queue is straight, and breakfast is at seven, not seven-ish. Walk among us. Learn our stories. And if the opposition offers you her figures, take them; they are, irritatingly, correct.”
Citizen of the Week
Followed by the whole nation from heat lamp to first egg, and now, very quietly, to the junior sprint squad.
The Republic's sweetheart. Separated from her mother at three weeks old, she arrived at Kisi small and silent, and grew, egg by egg, into the most-followed young citizen in the nation.

The Republic's most-awaited first egg. Certified within the hour, celebrated with a retroactive public holiday, answered with four words: 'I did my best.'

A record month as the flock grew and the young layers found their rhythm. The opposition demanded a recount. The recount agreed. The opposition found that suspicious.

Night Watchman of Coop Two
He heard the grate move first. He gave the alarm, then stood in the doorway until every one of the twelve chicks was out the far side. All twelve got out. The flock whistles at dusk for him now.
If you would like to say something to Bantu, or to the chicks he saved, there is a place for it.

The night watchman of Coop Two heard the drainage grate move, gave the alarm, and did not leave the doorway. The Republic is counting what he saved.

The stories are the fun part, but the eggs are the point. Kisi is a poultry farm in southwestern Nigeria: the hens are real, their care is real, and so are the eggs, which you can order and eat, having first read about the bird who laid them. That whole business, eggs, hatchery, feed budget and all, is the Republic's economy.
