We have shamefully failed to give the praise due to this noble species, which has hippopotamultiplied to dominate large parts of the globe.
It is particularly prominent on the continent of Asia. In the Arab world, the hippopotamullahs rule the population of hippopotamuslims, who, travelling vast distances, pass through the capital city of HippopotaMuscat in the course of their annual pilgramage, or haaj, to HippopotaMecca. To the north in Asia, in Russia, the urbanized Hippopotamuscovites govern the rural Hippopotamujiks. To the south, the the Hindipotami rule the Indian subcontinent.
Their influence in Africa has waned since their glory days there, but that glory can still be seen in the massive, pyramidal tombs in which the most prominent Hippopotamummies were laid to rest.
In Europe, their cities of HippopotaMunich and HippopotaMuenster are key centers of the German economy, much like their Italian industrial cernter at HippopotaModena.
North America, of course, is dominated by the mighty muddy HippopotaMississippi River. A subttribe, travelling west to the Hawaiin Islands, established themselves as the HiloPotami and the HonoHippoluluPotami.
Moving up to Australia, it is of course well known that Oz is inhabited principally by HippopotaMunchkins, who settled along the mighty HippopotaMurrey River and its tributary, the HippopotaMurrumbidgee.
