— Yooperball's Flag
|
Yooperball (or U.P.ball), soon to be Superiorball, is the embodiment representing the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. Although a part of 
Michigancube, it has a unique ethnicity to them. It was in 2014 that the Webster Dictionary officially called "Yooper" as a word.
History
It used to be populated with 
3ball, until 
Franceball came and began trading for fur with them. Franceball then got into a war with 
UKball and lost, resulting in Britainball claiming the region. UKball maintained the area until 
USAball rebelled and obtained independence; causing the U.P. to became part of Northwest Territoriesball. Sometime afterwards, when 
Wisconsin Territoryball was formed, the U.P. became a part of it. Yooperball would eventually be formed, after USAball forced Michigancube and 
OhioRawr to make peace over their fighting over Toledoball, giving the Upper Peninsula to Michigancube and angering
Wisconsinball in the process. Economic activity was limited here until the mid 1800's when miners decided to come to the U.P. rather than travel to California or Alaska to mine the copper ore. It was at this time that the pasty was introduced by immigrants from 
Cornwallball, which would become a cultural food staple for the U.P.. Likewise, timber, fishing, fur trapping and iron ore mining are also major forms of business in the U.P.. These days, Yooperball is still a hard-working ball who focuses his time between mining iron and copper, and harvesting timber. When he's not working, he enjoys fishing in three of the great lakes (Michigan, Superior, and Huron respectively), hunting deer, bear, and ruffed grouse and drinking with friends like 
Finlandball, 
Swedenball, and 
Norwayball; whom brought many of their people to settle in the U.P. Yooperball is known for scenery and having the closest thing to mountains that exists within Michigan. Yooperball enjoys snowmobiling and stepping into the sauna in winter, which is great for him as the region itself gets some of the highest snowfall totals in USAball's clay. He also tends to enjoy pasties or Italian food that Italian immigrants brought with them as they moved here in the earlier days. Because of the Nordicballs' influence on him, he tends to be more moral than his father, Michigancube. He used to look up to his father for his industrial (Ford, General Motors) as well as cultural (Motown Records) abilities until the 1970s when Michigancube became slightly more corrupt and interested in drugs and guns. He also has 
Canadaball as his neighbor to the north, Yooperball has been friends for a long time with Sault Ste. Marieball (who lives on Yooper's clay) and his Canadian twin brother.
