How Do We Get Information About Hoobah Boobah Land?

The process of getting information about Hoobah Boobah Land to The United States takes anywhere from 3-6 months.

There is no internet in Hoobah Boobah Land, so e-mails to and from that country are obviously out of the question. King Ralph VI must personally approve any information about his kingdom before it gets placed on this website.

I send a letter to a contact person in New Zealand (New Zealand is one of two countries that imports goose-down feathers from Hoobah Boobah Land). This letter is a formal request for information from the Hoobah Boobah Royal Ministry of Information -- the letter must be notarized by a Notary Public, otherwise it will be returned with no reply from the Hoobah Boobah government. My New Zealand contact, whose identity may not be revealed, hands the letter over to the captain of a departing Hoobah Boobah goose-down freighter. The captain brings it back to Hoobah Boobah Land, where the letter is personally delivered to the Royal Palace by royal courier.

The king personally selects a topic to be put in his reply, for example, baseball in Hoobah Boobah Land.

The Minister of Information will have his workers do research and write a short non-fiction piece about the topic. The non-fiction piece is personally approved by King Ralph, then put in small safe, whose combination is only known by me. The safe is brought by royal courier to an outgoing goose-feather ship bound for New Zealand. My contact in New Zealand picks up the safe and sends it to me, usually by DHL.

I burn whatever documents were in the safe as soon as I make my post on hoobahboobahland.blogspot.com. This is to keep them from falling into the wrong hands.
