HUM Trading Bazaar

The HUM Trading Bazaar was a trading post constructed in Bagelonian lands by HUM Chairman GoatWhisperer.

Pitiful History

The geographically-challenged Chairman GoatWhisperer of HUM believed his building to be on the border between Bagelonia and Goomlandia, and believed the hub would be extremely profitable as a trading hub thanks to its opportune position. He believed the bazaar, being a wealth center with lots of traffic, would grow a center of development around it. He hoped it would serve not only as a source of economic stimulus but as a unifying community center in the then-fledgling Eastern continent.

The trading bazaar's construction was completed and the complicated redstone trading mechanisms designed and installed when GoatWhisperer discovered that the trading hub was in fact deep within the territory of Bagelonia and nowhere near the Goomlandian border. In light of the unfortunate circumstance, a road was constructed to connect the bazaar to the ocean so that the hub would at least be somewhat accessible. HUM claimed the small stretch of road as well as the bazaar itself as sovereign HUMmian territory. This action has often been decried as imperialism, but despite global condemnation Bagelonia did not take action against HUM for the incursion. The trading hub survived to exchange another day, and despite the setbacks a bright hopeful future of Eastern commerce was imagined for the plucky little waystation.

However, trade never would come to the bazaar-- a single sale was made to FlyingGMM, but otherwise the hoppers were used as trash bins by passersby and vandals stole the item frames which depicted what items were available for sale. The mountainous terrain of Bagelonia separated it from the Goomlandian citizens the bazaar hoped to trade with. Its inaccessible location meant it would never become the community center it had been intended to be, and thus it withered away as an unutilized waste of HUMmian resources, engineering, and effort.

The HUM Trading Bazaar's doors were closed until further notice in April 2019 as one of Chairman GoatWhisperer's last acts in office. The building was sealed with signs denoting the building as "Condemned" and thanked patrons for supporting HUM with their business.
