Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The '''Whole Biscuit Rule''' is the government settlement convention under which certain Wheat payments must be made in whole full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits.

A standard Wheat bowl may be represented by approximately two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits, making each biscuit approximately '''₩½'''.

Where a calculated obligation falls between available whole-biscuit denominations, the payment is rounded upward.

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

'''WHAT''' is the founding brother, first ruler, and namesake of the WHAAAT!? Micro Republic.

According to republican lore and the Constitution, WHAT and his brother [[WHY]] wandered together in search of a home. WHAT eventually became the first ruler and is credited with inventing wheat, which became the national mascot and principal export.

After WHAT was attacked by a bear through WHY's betrayal, WHAT survived and escaped to the mountains. On November 7 he returned with rebels, defeated the [[BEAR]], restored his rule, and took the [[Bear Rug]].

The current Supreme Leader, [[Danny]], is described as a descendant of WHAT.

Succession Loophole

2026-09-16T22:57:34Z

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The '''Succession Loophole''' is the ancient and deliberately literal succession rule acknowledged by Article II of the Constitution of WHAAAT!?.

The traditional rule states that '''that which kills the leader shall become the next leader'''. The Constitution limits the rule to natural persons, registered citizens, and verified fauna and excludes abstractions, illnesses, accidents, appliances, and acts of God.

A new ruler arising under the clause must demonstrate basic fitness to govern within 90 days or face a [[Right of Retaking|Retaking]]. In the absence of a qualifying claimant, succession proceeds to the eldest verified descendant of [[WHAT]].

Right of Retaking

2026-09-16T22:57:34Z

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The '''Right of Retaking''' is a constitutional right recognized by Article V of the Constitution of WHAAAT!?.

It acknowledges the Republic's history of revolutions, uprisings, and factional civil wars and provides a limited right to challenge and remove a leader who has become unfit, tyrannical, or bear-like in temperament.

A Retaking must be supported by a demonstrable body of citizen grievance rather than personal jealousy alone and should be concluded without unnecessary loss of life.

Ministry of Finance

2026-09-16T22:57:33Z

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The '''Ministry of Finance''' is the government ministry responsible for monetary policy, public finance, currency administration, and oversight of the cereal-based monetary system of the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?

The Ministry supervises the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]] ('''CEXA'''), which establishes exchange rates among the Republic's recognized cereal commodity currencies.

== Monetary system ==

The fundamental commodity unit is the [[Bowl (currency)|bowl]], officially defined as approximately '''1¾ US cups = 400 mL'''.

The four principal cereal currencies are:

* '''Sweet Corn''' — entertainment, luxury goods, and hard foreign exchange
* '''Corn''' — ordinary unofficial commerce
* '''Wheat''' — government and official transactions
* '''Chocolate''' — health care and medical transactions

== The Whaaatloo ==

The '''Whaaatloo''' (symbol: '''₩''') is the basic monetary unit and is expressed in bowls of Wheat cereal.

'''₩1 = one standard bowl of Wheat currency = approximately 400 mL (1¾ US cups).'''

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are valued as multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo.

Based upon average United States retail cereal prices, the Ministry uses a nominal reference value of approximately '''US$0.60 per bowl'''.

== Commodity currencies ==

=== Sweet Corn ===

Sweet Corn is the Republic's hard foreign-exchange currency and is principally used for entertainment, luxury goods, and other discretionary transactions.

A standard Sweet Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* 200 Frosted Flakes; or
* 100 Cap'n Crunch nuggets.

A typical bowl weighs approximately 60 grams and represents approximately 240 calories.

=== Corn ===

Corn currency is intended for regular day-to-day transactions of an unofficial nature.

A standard Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* 200 Corn Flakes; or
* 150 Corn Chex.

A typical bowl weighs approximately 50 grams and represents approximately 180 calories.

=== Wheat ===

Wheat currency is the official governmental currency and forms the commodity basis of the Whaaatloo.

A standard Wheat bowl consists approximately of:

* 200 Wheaties flakes; or
* 2 full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits.

A typical bowl weighs approximately 60 grams and represents approximately 200 calories.

Wheat currency is used for government payments including taxes, postage and stamps, utilities, permits, government fees, and [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] fees.

The Government may require payment in whole full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits regardless of the calculated fractional value.

=== Chocolate ===

Chocolate currency is principally reserved for the health-care economy, including health services, drugs, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, and physical therapy.

A standard Chocolate bowl consists approximately of:

* 400 Chocolate Pebbles;
* 200 Count Chocula ghost-shaped cereal pieces and marshmallows; or
* 150 Cocoa Puffs.

A typical bowl weighs approximately 60 grams and represents approximately 250 calories.

== Cereal Exchange Authority ==

The [[Cereal Exchange Authority]] is responsible for establishing and adjusting exchange rates among Sweet Corn, Corn, Wheat, and Chocolate currencies.

The Wheat-based Whaaatloo serves as the principal reference currency. Market trends are normally expressed as positive or negative changes measured in '''flakes'''; health-care movements may instead be expressed in '''pebbles'''.

CEXA traders must successfully complete the [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] ('''CAT''') with a score of at least '''70 percent''' before being granted a seat on the trading floor.

== Nominal cereal values ==

{| class="wikitable sortable"

| $0.73
|}

These figures are reference valuations rather than guaranteed retail redemption rates. Actual exchange values among cereal currencies are established by CEXA.

== Whole Biscuit Rule ==

Because two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits equal approximately ₩1, each biscuit represents approximately '''₩½'''. Where payment must be made in whole biscuits, the obligation is rounded upward to the next available half-Whaaatloo increment.

{| class="wikitable"
! Calculated obligation
! Required biscuit payment

|-
| ₩0.25

== Generic cereal references ==

The Ministry prefers generic or historical cereal illustrations rather than contemporary commercial packaging. See the Wikimedia Commons references in [[Currency of Whaaat!?]].

Ministry of Cereal

2026-09-16T22:57:32Z

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The '''Ministry of Cereal''' administers cereal policy, cereal standards, cereal-related traditions, and the cereal basis of the Republic's monetary system.

The Ministry works with the [[Ministry of Finance]] on the valuation and administration of the [[Bowl (currency)|Bowl]] and the [[Whaaatloo]].

Wheat has particular constitutional importance because it is the national mascot and principal export of WHAAAT!? and the commodity basis of the government currency.

History of Whaaat!?

2026-09-16T22:57:31Z

Whaaat Wiki Bot: Deploy updated WHAAAT!? Wiki content

The history of Whaaat!? combines the founding story of brothers [[WHAT]] and [[WHY]], the reign and defeat of the [[BEAR]], recurring factional conflict, and the later development of the modern Republic.

The Republican Constitution treats much of this history as foundational lore while formally recognizing the WHAT bloodline, the Bear Rug, Restoration Day, and the Republic's cycle of uprisings and restorations.

== Founding ==

According to the Republic's history, brothers [[WHAT]] and [[WHY]] wandered in search of a place to call home. They eventually settled the land that became WHAAAT!? and argued over the new nation's identity. WHAT became its first ruler, and the nation was named in his honor.

WHAT is credited in the Republic's lore with inventing wheat, which became the national mascot and principal export. Wheat supplied the Republic with much of its wealth and remains central to its identity.

== The betrayal of WHY ==

WHY became jealous of his brother. During a hunting trip, WHY gave WHAT a supposed bear-invisible cream, later discovered to have been honey. WHAT was attacked by a bear.

The resulting succession crisis became the origin of the Republic's famous [[Succession Loophole]]: the traditional rule that the thing that kills the ruler becomes the next ruler. Because the bear was WHAT's favorite animal, the BEAR became ruler.

== The BEAR era ==

The BEAR ruled for an extended period and introduced laws intended to integrate bears into WHAAAT!? society. Civil unrest grew because, as the lore succinctly observes, people are not bears.

WHAT survived the original attack, escaped into the mountains, and organized with rebel forces.

== The Restoration ==

On '''November 7''', WHAT returned with rebels to retake his throne. A major confrontation followed, WHAT defeated the BEAR, and the victory produced the national [[Bear Rug]].

The Constitution commemorates November 7 as '''Restoration Day'''.

== Later history ==

The Republican lore describes subsequent revolutions and civil wars between rival factions, with changes in government and recurring uprisings. The present government traces its leadership to the WHAT lineage, with [[Danny]] serving as Supreme Leader.

The Republic has now reopened its borders to foreign visitors, traders, and prospective citizens.

== Historical presentation ==

The history of WHAAAT!? is also presented through games, puppetry, reenactments, and Festival activities. A working notebook for a proposed puppet show describes a presentation involving a WHAAAT!? Bear and a WHAAAT!? founder and suggests a later puppet workshop.

= THE CONSTITUTION OF THE WHAAAT!? MICRO REPUBLIC =

''Ratified under the Supreme Leadership of Danny, Rightful Heir of the Bloodline of WHAT''

== PREAMBLE ==

We, the citizens of WHAAAT!?, descendants of a fateful walk taken by the brothers WHAT and WHY, heirs to a land discovered in wandering and secured in wheat, do hereby establish this Constitution.

We remember our founding father WHAT, who named this nation in his own honor and gifted it the wheat that has sustained and enriched it ever since. We remember the betrayal of WHY, whose jealousy opened our borders to the BEAR's reign. We remember November 7th, when WHAT descended from the mountains to reclaim his throne, his brother's debt, and one exceptional rug.

We acknowledge that our history has been a cycle of uprisings, restorations, and civil strife between rival factions.

== ARTICLE I — NAME, TERRITORY & SYMBOLS ==

=== Section 1 ===

The nation shall officially be known as the WHAAAT!? Micro Republic, so named by the original citizens in tribute to its founder, WHAT.

=== Section 2 ===

The national mascot and principal export shall be Wheat, invented by WHAT himself, in eternal recognition of the crop that built our riches.

=== Section 3 ===

The national relic shall be the Bear Rug, taken by WHAT from the body of the usurper BEAR on the day of the Restoration. It shall be displayed at all times in the Hall of Leadership as a reminder of what jealousy costs and what perseverance reclaims.

=== Section 4 ===

The national colors, seal, and anthem shall show our beautiful nation's ideas, with lime green showing our history, darker green showing the strength of overcoming these treacherous times, and the WHAAAT!? symbol showing our national pride.

== ARTICLE II — THE SUPREME LEADERSHIP ==

=== Section 1 ===

Executive authority is vested in a Supreme Leader, currently Danny, a verified descendant of the bloodline of WHAT.

=== Section 2 — The Succession Loophole ===

This Constitution formally acknowledges the ancient and dangerously literal law of succession: that which kills the leader shall become the next leader. This law is hereby preserved as sacred historical precedent, but is placed under the following restrictions:

; a.
:The law shall apply only to natural persons, registered citizens, or verified fauna; it shall not apply to abstractions, illnesses, accidents, appliances, or acts of god, regardless of how the paperwork is filed.
; b.
:Any creature, entity, or citizen who ascends to leadership under this clause must, within 90 days, demonstrate basic fitness to govern (see Article II, Section 3) or face a Retaking, as defined in Article V.
; c.
:Citizens are strongly discouraged from testing this clause on one another, on the Supreme Leader, or on livestock.

=== Section 3 — Fitness to Govern ===

No leader — bear, brother, or otherwise — may govern who cannot demonstrate: (i) basic literacy in the Wheat Trade Accords, (ii) the ability to address citizens without growling, and (iii) genuine commitment to the welfare of the Republic over personal appetite.

=== Section 4 ===

The Supreme Leader shall serve until death, abdication, retirement, or forcible removal via Article V, at which point succession shall proceed according to Section 2, or, in the absence of a qualifying claimant, to the eldest verified descendant of WHAT.

== ARTICLE III — CITIZENSHIP & RIGHTS ==

=== Section 1 ===

Citizenship is granted to all persons born within WHAAAT!?'s borders, all verified descendants of WHAT or WHY, and — as of this Constitution — all foreigners who apply under the newly reopened Borders Policy (Article VI).

=== Section 2 ===

All citizens, regardless of faction lineage (Wheat-aligned or Bear-aligned), are entitled to equal protection under this Constitution. Ancestral rivalry shall not be grounds for discrimination, exclusion, or reduced wheat rations.

=== Section 3 ===

Every citizen has the right to:

* free passage and residence within the Republic;
* a fair share of the annual cereal tests;
* participation in national holidays and commemorations;
* peaceful dissent, expressed through legal channels rather than mountain rebellions, wherever possible; and
* protection from being declared "the next leader" without due process, regardless of recent proximity to unfortunate accidents involving the Supreme Leader.

=== Section 4 ===

Every citizen bears the duty to contribute to the wheat economy in whatever capacity they are able, to defend the Republic's sovereignty, and to refrain from making secret deals with bears.

== ARTICLE IV — NATIONAL HOLIDAYS & COMMEMORATIONS ==

=== Section 1 — Restoration Day ===

November 7th. Commemorating WHAT's return from the mountains and the defeat of the BEAR. Celebrated with reenactments, wheat feasts, and the ceremonial airing of the Bear Rug.

=== Section 2 — Founders' Walk ===

January 1st. Commemorating the original journey of WHAT and WHY, honoring the founding of the nation before the rivalry that would define it.

=== Section 3 — Harvest Tribute ===

An annual festival celebrating wheat, WHAAAT!?'s greatest gift to itself and the world, where they try all types of cereals and play local WHAAAT!? music.

== ARTICLE V — THE RIGHT OF RETAKING ==

=== Section 1 ===

In recognition of this Republic's long history of revolutions, uprisings, and factional civil wars, citizens retain a limited Right of Retaking: the right to challenge and remove a leader who has become unfit, tyrannical, or bear-like in temperament.

=== Section 2 ===

A Retaking must be:

* supported by a demonstrable body of citizen grievance, not personal jealousy alone; and
* concluded without unnecessary loss of life, where the founders' own example allows.

=== Section 3 ===

This Article exists not to encourage civil war, but to acknowledge that WHAAAT!? was built by people willing to walk into the mountains and come back for what was theirs. That spirit is not outlawed — it is constitutionalized.

== ARTICLE VI — FOREIGN RELATIONS & OPEN BORDERS ==

=== Section 1 ===

For the first time in the Republic's living memory, WHAAAT!?'s borders are hereby opened to foreign visitors, traders, and prospective citizens.

=== Section 2 ===

All foreigners are welcomed under the same wheat-sharing principles afforded to native citizens, and may petition for full citizenship after a period to be set by future legislation.

=== Section 3 ===

Foreign relations shall be conducted in the spirit of the Republic's founding: curiosity, hospitality, and a strong preference for resolving disputes through talking rather than deals made with bears.

=== Section 4 ===

Wheat may be exported freely. Bears entering under diplomatic pretense should be regarded with polite but firm historical suspicion.

== ARTICLE VII — AMENDMENTS ==

=== Section 1 ===

This Constitution may be amended by proclamation of the Supreme Leader with the consent of the citizenry, expressed through whatever formal mechanism the Republic later establishes.

=== Section 2 ===

No amendment may abolish Article II, Section 2 (the Succession Loophole) in its entirety, as it is deemed a foundational piece of the Republic's character — though future leaders are free, and encouraged, to close it further.

== FINAL PROCLAMATION ==

Let it be known throughout WHAAAT!? and to all who now enter its open borders: this nation was built on brotherhood, broken by jealousy, stolen by a bear, and reclaimed by wheat, mountains, and sheer will.

So ratified, under the leadership of Supreme Leader Danny, heir of WHAT.
