Corks from bottles are found enclosed in a junk mail envelope along with maps. They begin to fight for the possession of the territory. The United Nations arrives but they make more trouble than anything else. The war ends with the maps destroyed beyond recognition. The maps were modified using the computer and the names of places were substituted with names of drinks. The corks have flags and names of countries.
