Who would name a country The Litterbox? Us!

What's in a name?

A common question we Littermates hear is how we got our name. Why would a people come together and decide their grand nation should be named after a common feline lavatory? Well grab a bowl of cricketcorn and listen to our story!

In early Litterbox history we didn’t have official boundaries. The mostly desert land consisted of various nomadic tribes that roamed the sand in search of water, fighting amongst each other over the precious resource. Despite the lack of unity, the tribes shared a distinct love of felines. These cherished creatures followed them from settlement to settlement, keeping the humans safe from disease bearing insects and rodents.

Most foreign nations held little interest in these people due to their unfriendly nature and lack of valuable resources. The common belief was the region was just a sparsely inhabited desert full of sand, cats and the stench of death. “The Litterbox” became its unofficial nickname in the industrialized world.

But as the industrial age pressed onward, a demand for crude oil surged and the once ignored desert suddenly became a treasure map. The scientifically advanced traded their knowledge of first world innovations to the Litterbox in exchange for the desert’s new valuable commodity. The influx of peaceful Karma culture proved to be highly beneficial to the various tribes accustomed to civil war. But what to do with this newly established peace?

The tribe leaders got together and made a decision: The Litterbox became an official member of the World Assembly, keeping the derogatory nickname as a way to remind foreigners that they’re still a group of unfriendly thugs that prefer the company of cats to people.
