São Tomé and Príncipe 

A country within the continent Africa, more specifically Central Africa, about 225-250 km off of the Northwestern Coast of Gabon. It consists of the two islands, the larger São Tomé and smaller Príncipe, making the name so.

The people of São Tomé and Príncipe are dubbed São Toméans or Santomeans, and their currency is a São Toméan Dobra (STN/STD, Db), worth about 0.00005 USD as of 9:07 PM CST, 2/10/2021.
"Have you heard of the islands of Africa, Madagascar, Reunion, Mauritius, Cape Verde, Seychelles, Comoros, and São Tomé and Príncipe?"
"No, why would anyone care about Madagascar, Reunion, Mauritius, Cape Verde, Seychelles, Comoros, and São Tomé and Príncipe? Except you, Seychelles. Your flag makes up for it."
"Thanks, other part of my brain."
"No problem, other part of my brain."
"Yes problem, am I right?"
"Haha, but that's YOUR problem RIGHT?"
"Yeah, you sure do know your purpose."
"Mhm. I really do."
"Well, I would love to continue this conversation, but I have to go do something more important."
"Like what?"
"Use your brain, idiot."
"I am the brain."
"Oh."
"Yeah, it's the same for me though. Got more important stuff to do."
"Like what?"
"Use your brain, idiot."
"I am the brain."
"Oh. Well yeah, I would like to continue my chitchat with you, but I have more important things to do.
"Cool."
"Are we repeating ourselves?"
"Yeah. Think so. Maybe we have short term memory loss."
"Mmm. Makes sense."
"We have to stop."

The Tome School 

A college preparatory school in North East, Maryland that was previously located in Port Deposit, Maryland until it burned down in the late 1800s. It is known by the locals as an "uppy-preppy" school full of "rich spoiled brats". Overall, they are correct. The racial diversity of this institution consists of 2-3 ethnic students per grade. The entire school is only made up of about 500 people and it serves Kindergarden through 12th grade.

Sometimes called the Tom School, by idiots that never understoof phonics, is it a mediocre cultural hub but a beacon of perfect education. Most graduates go on to great colleges and do well. The students that are awaiting graduation tend to have a dead look about them because their souls have been sucked out by excessive homework and over-demanding teachers. One product of the Tome School can, and often is, social awkwardness and a mild form of aspergers. Students spend 8 hours a day with the same group of people and gradually become desensitized to normal conversation and social practices. They usually spend 4-8 hours at home doing homework or playing mindless computer games.

Sports are barely worth mentioning.

The Tome School: a strange sort of educational and social limbo for those in it, and a pretty building for those outside of it
The other day, I drove by the Tome School and remembered that pretentious ass hole I met at a party that went there. He was so socially incompetent; all he talked about were the metacarpals and his irregular bowel movements
