Supreme Overlord Renames Big Water, Mobilizes Fish Messaging Department
Aqua-Pledge of Allegiance Cards Reportedly in the Works

"Specialists in piscine praise-singing have been enlisted to spread the message through interpretive bubbles."
In an unprecedented display of aquatic diplomacy gone delightfully awry, the Supreme Overlord of the Fictional States of Everything (FSE) announced the renaming of the large watery expanse known only too well as "Really Big Lake." It shall henceforth be called "Lake Supreme-Overlord-Greatness-Majesty-and-Splendor." This decision has triggered an underwater communication blitz unparalleled in history.
Under the supreme directive, a newly formed Department of Aquatic Messaging (DAM) has been tasked with ensuring each and every fish is informed of their new address. Specialists in piscine praise-singing have been enlisted to disseminate the message through interpretive dances performed in scuba-diving bubbles.
Neighbours to the north, the United Federations of Cartographers, expressed mild bemusement at this quick adjustment. "We always thought water names were more of a… you know, splash of consensus," commented the Chief of Map Dreamweaving, scribbling furiously to redraw the already cartoonish outlines of the lake.
Meanwhile, local indigenous leaders from the ancient territories of Nami-Nami-Land provided gentle reminders that the lake had, for millennia, been called "Mega-Wet Place," a name still cherished more for its accuracy than its grandeur.
In related exploits, FSE’s Department of Creative Solutions announced plans to hand out Aqua-Pledge of Allegiance cards to fish citizens, accompanied by waterproof booklets on the etiquette of fishy patriotism, which include synchronized swimming drills.
As of our last whimsical check-in, the Really Big Lake’s original residents remain blissfully free of bureaucratic burden, swimming in orderly schools away from the tide of terrestrial silliness above.
