Unsolved:Chako Paul City
Template:Issues Chako Paul City (or Shakebao) is a fictional town of 25,000 exclusively female residents located in northern Sweden, reports of which surfaced in China press agencies Xinhua and Harbin News in 2009.[1][2][3] It was said to have been founded in 1820 by a wealthy, man-hating widow. Men are banned from entering the town and most of its desperate, sex-starved inhabitants have turned to lesbianism. Immediately following the reports, millions of Chinese men swamped Swedish tourist companies with requests for information about it.[3]
Claes Bertilson, spokesperson for Sweden's Association of Local Authorities and Regions, said: “At 25,000 residents, the town would be one of the largest in northern Sweden, and I find it hard to believe that you could keep something like that a secret for more than 150 years.”[4]
