This is a story about two countries. One is The United States of Acirema, often called Acirema or the US for short, and the other is called Nari. Now the US and Nari were as different as night and day, black and white, or east and west. The Aciremans spoke English which is written from left to right, while the Narians spoke a language called Persian--just like the Gulf off its shores--which is written from right to left. The US was a small peace-loving country while Nari was a rich, aggressive, imperialistic power with military bases in many countries, including those surrounding Acirema like Abuc, Ocixem and Adanac.
