The Government of Pakistan is pleased to announce EXPO ’26, an international celebration of science, culture, diplomacy and whatever else the cabinet can approve before the next election.
For one glorious week, the nations of WarEra are invited to Islamabad to visit the Pakistan Pavilion: a shining monument to ambition, national pride and extremely optimistic construction deadlines.
The pavilion will contain four exhibitions.
THE HALL OF INDUSTRY
Visitors will witness Pakistan’s complete economic miracle: limestone enters through one door, concrete leaves through another, and somewhere in the middle a level-ten citizen loses his entire salary.
The centrepiece is a fully operational Automated Engine. It runs day and night, requires no food and has contributed more to the national economy than several former ministers.
Foreign investors are welcome. Please bring steel.
THE HALL OF DIPLOMACY
A circular room containing one enormous table, forty-seven chairs and no agreement on who was invited.
Every hour, delegates will recreate a traditional WarEra diplomatic ceremony: signing an alliance, denying the alliance, leaking screenshots of the alliance and then publishing an article explaining why the alliance never existed.
Translation will be available in English, Urdu and “bro trust me.”
THE HALL OF DEFENCE
Pakistan’s latest military technology will be displayed to the public, including the Precision Glove, the Emergency Bread Reserve and the revolutionary Ten-Health Offensive Doctrine.
Live demonstrations will begin whenever an order appears. They will end approximately one hit later.
Guests are advised not to stand between a Pakistani citizen and a daily mission.
THE PAKISTAN PAVILION GIFT SHOP
Official souvenirs include miniature concrete blocks, commemorative cases that should probably remain unopened, and certificates confirming that you were present when Pakistan announced it was “back” for the ninth time this month.
Every participating nation is invited to submit its own pavilion. India may apply through the normal verification process. Applicants claiming to be from Bahawalpur should be prepared to name a nearby interchange.
