However, there is a decently sized ballad music industry in the East Tropchimps and San Calichimpington regions. Saint Monkey's optimism may have also come from the 2nd Teriiblean War after a speech by Saint Monkey X which was unintentionally broadcasted in several other countries than intended, as their Emergency Alert System interfered with other countries broadcasts at the time. This speech was during the Battle of Glastopia, where the capital of Gladiston, the main country involved in the conflict, was nearly taken. The speech involved staying resilient, never giving up and staying strong, even when families were losing sons and daughter, wifes and husbands, and everyone else.
