Rupeeland

Rupeeland (also called Rupee Paradise ) is a place seen in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. A strange old man with a rupee-shaped head who calls himself Uncle Rupee promises a middle-aged man entry to this so-called paradise if he collects enough Rupees and throws them into a pool of water. After the man agrees to the task, he is given the name of Tingle. Tingle spends much time and travels to many different lands in search of rupees. During his journey, however, he meets a fairy in the Fairy Garden. The fairy reveals that Rupeeland is a horrible place where evil reigns and freedom does not exist. He finds out that he is not the only one- there have been many Tingle's in the past. Once they had collected enough rupees, they were sent to Rupeeland where they will live as Uncle Rupee's slaves. Uncle Rupee plans to turn the entire land into a Rupeeland once he gets enough Rupees.
