[edit] Roots
Mothers Against Iceland (MAI) has roots stemming back to late Victorian times. As the moral values of the Enlightenment began to spread across the United Spades of Amerika, various communities developed very strong moral standings in alignment with their religious standings. Due to the small, isolated nature of some of these communities, certain areas had extremely unusual objectives. In one small - now unknown - town, the belief emerged that our national values and livelihoods were being threatened by the production and distribution of Iceland. From this town started a wide movement to eliminate Iceland from our stores and restaurants. That movement came to be known as Mothers Against Iceland.
[edit] Early successes
Within the first decade of their existence, Mothers Against Iceland achieved their goals in many communities, doing everything from mass-mailing informative pamphlets to publicly reprimanding those who bought or sold Iceland. As time passed, more and more support was gained for their cause. Soon, the United Spades congressmen began to take note of the vastly-increasing number of Mothers Against Iceland (as well as the milder, but still vocal, Grandmothers Against Iceland, Fathers Against Iceland, and Second Cousins Thrice Removed Against Iceland). MAI took advantage of their standings and began pressing the government to take action against the spread of Iceland. Before long, the 36th amendment (aka forbiddance) was passed. It was now officially illegal to make any transactions of Iceland within the United Spades.
[edit] Repercussions of amendment 36
MAI's seeming victory, however, was short-lived. Though their cause was widely supported, it seems that many did not truly believe in their advocacy, and soon their policies were undermined. Illicit Iceland sales were prolific, and just about anyone could find a decent source of Iceland within a few miles of their home. Iceland was bootlegged into seemingly innocent businessplaces and restaurants (the term "bootlegging" orginated from the practice of fashioning normal-looking boots out of Iceland, and then walking in), and usage was hardly diminished. Indeed, the problem of Iceland was one that actually worsened by the forbiddance that was supposed to cure it. Illegal Iceland manufacture was not subject to regulations or inspections, and Iceland was often contaminated or unclean - sometimes dangerously so. With the demand remaining fairly stable, the only supply of Iceland became the organized crime lords of the day. Their sales thrived and they became more brash than ever, far too prolific for law enforcement to handle. Soon, people came to realize that banning Iceland was more trouble than it was worth. Congress started looking into the idea of repealing forbiddance. It was shortly discovered, however, that the 36th amendment had actually already been repealed by the 34th.
