What is the name of the country he created using props that belonged to him?
Haha, I know this one! I remember this episode vividly. The country Doraemon's gadget helped Nobita establish had a super straightforward name:
Nobita Nobi Kingdom (のび太のび国)
The name literally comes from his own name, Nobi Nobita. It sounds a bit cute and a bit silly, perfectly fitting Nobita's style.
How did he establish this country?
He mainly used a gadget set called the "Independent Nation Starter Kit" (translations might vary slightly). This kit included a few key items:
- National Flag: A flag with Nobita's face on it. Planting it in his room declared sovereignty.
- Border Line: A roll of tape. Sticking it on the floor created a "sacred and inviolable" national border. His mom got "deported" for crossing this line without a "visa".
- Passport: Anyone wanting to enter "Nobita Kingdom" had to apply for a passport, even his mom.
- Embassy: A small sign that could be placed in someone else's house to establish "diplomatic relations".
(Flag roughly like this)
Why did he want to build his own country?
The reason was actually quite simple. Nobita got scolded by his mom again for his messy room and for not being allowed snacks. In a fit of anger, he thought, "I'll declare independence!" He wanted a place where he was in charge and no one could boss him around. So, his "Nobita Kingdom" was born right in his bedroom.
Of course, this country eventually "fell". He discovered being king wasn't easy. The country needed resources (like snacks and comics) and he had to handle "foreign relations" (like with Doraemon and his mom). In the end, because he got hungry, he had to pay "taxes" (snacks for entry permission) to his mom, and the whole independence plan fell apart.
All in all, it's a classic Nobita-style flight of fancy story, and very entertaining.
