Question 29

X was founded in 1796 by a group led by Jebediah X. After misinterpretating a passage in the bible, the group left Maryland, trying to find the "New sodom". After X refused to found a town where men were free to marry their cousins, half of the group left. The dissenters founded Y, named after fellow pioneer Y Manhattan, and the two cities remain rivals to this day. X reached its pinnacle in the mid-20th century, when it became the home of the world's first Aquacar factory, one half of the country was said to wear X galoshes and X's streets were literally paved with gold. The city's prosperity faded; a Time cover story on X called it "America's Worst City" and Newsweek called the city "America's Crud Bucket"
