Mondo Bobo

Relatively small and obscure, the desert kingdom of Mondo Bobo is a rather out-of-the-way trading outpost. Being so far removed from the rest of civilization, the people of Mondo Bobo practice some very peculiar customs. One of the most peculiar is their "Olympic Diving Competition," held once every generation to select the next heir to the throne.

Participants in the diving competition hurl themselves from a high cliff onto solid ground many feet below. Whoever scores a perfect 10 not only gets to marry the chieftain's daughter, but also gains the royal inheritance. Divers must slow their descent to achieve higher scores (and sustain fewer injuries), usually by means of a parachute or some such device. With this in mind, sharp traders can make a bundle by selling ordinary umbrellas to the locals during the diving competition.
