who eats the most food to the most lighest eaters nomnomnm

so... the lightest eaters would be vanuatu and new caledonia. miss vanny over here wants to maintain a balanced diet and it's completely fine! (sometimes she might miss a meal but she's okay with it.)

new cal on the other hand isn't much of a food lover and prefers to eat a few stuff. (...unless it's bougna, which is a feast traditional dish of the kanak people AND his #1 favorite food.)

the ones who eat the most food however would be tonga and samoa. as you can see, they like to compete in almost everything, including who eats the most. not even food is safe from the rivalry of these two nations.

however, there's someone who can surprisingly eat more than them.

kiribati is the complete opposite of new caledonia when it comes to food. if he isn't a food lover, then THEY are. their dream is to pretty much taste the different cuisines of every corner in the world. other nations are a little intimidated as to how they eat so much yet almost never gain weight, but really, they just have high metabolism.

Hey Vanuatu! can you show us how Eton beach is like?? ^^

it's one of her favorite spots to visit when she's bored. it's also pretty far from her residence, but it's still on the same island anyway so she considers it near! LOL

Hey Vanuatu, what was it like living under both Britain and France simultaneously as a condominium?

it was... chaotic. vanuatu, or "new hebrides" in this case would rate it a 1/10 for how confusing the condominium works, and also for the way the two treated their people during this period.

a condominium is a rather interesting and unique form of government, but two government systems in one was already as confusing as it could get for her. separate laws? separate languages? separate services? yeah, vanuatu and her people weren't that enthusiastic with the arrangement..

given france and britain's history of rivalry and hatred, she was surprised to learn that their occupation of her home was one of the few times the two have shared something together without any battle. but back in her colonial days, she still sensed there was something between them every time both of them show up, even if those were mostly tensions.

but i guess she found her answer now..?
