The KoRe Fairy Tale of
Roofland and Its Playful President Karlson

KoRe Way - inspiring & empowering innovations by Vadim Kotelnikov

I won't explain how and why I compose all these proverbs, parables, songs, and tales – not because it's a secret, but because a lifetime simply wouldn't be enough to explain it.

Take from them, as from this world, whatever will help you now.

~ Vadim Kotelnikov (VadiK)

This tale is inspired by the Astrid Lindgren's book "Karlsson-on-the-Roof" and the Tucker Carlson's Political Manifesto.

Roofland and Its Playful President Karlson

High above the noise of the ground, where the air was fresh and freedom ruled like a gentle breeze, lived Karlson – the joyful, round, and mischievous hero of the rooftops. His propeller hummed softly as he wandered from chimney to chimney, always laughing, always inventing new fun.

For years, he watched the younger generations below – the Z‑generation and the Alpha‑generation – growing restless in the politics‑ and manipulation-dominated life on the ground*. They longed for play, creativity, and fresh air for their ideas.

One bright morning, they climbed the ladders, fire escapes, and balconies, following Karlson’s laughter like a beacon. When they reached the rooftops, they felt something they had never felt before: lightness. Possibility. Freedom.

So together they founded a new kingdom – Roofland – where imagination was the law and joy was the currency.

The Rooflanders elected Karlson as their first President.

As an inspirational leader, Karlson mostly led from behind. He loved to start an adventure, then step aside so the young Rooflanders could invent the rest on their own "You’re clever enough," he'd say with a wink, "and I’m hungry enough to watch."

To guide their new kingdom, Rooflanders formulated their value mantra "Fresh Air, Joy, Freedom", and placed it on their coat of arms.

They formulated also three shared values, expressed as KoRe proverbs:

"Fresh air grows fresh minds."

"Joy shared is strength multiplied."

"Freedom begins where fear ends."

Then Rooflanders crafted five guiding principles,
expressed as KoRe hacks:

Hack 1: Turn every idea into a game – and play it.

Hack 2: Build first drafts fast; improve them joyfully.

Roofland country flag - freedom & fun above all

Hack 3: Mix generations – wisdom rises, energy flows.

Hack 4: When stuck, climb higher. Perspective is altitude.

Hack 5: Celebrate every small win loudly and together.

To make their ideas stronger, Rooflanders agreed to play InnoBall simulation games with every promising thought.

They tossed ideas around like balls, bounced them off each other, and discovered new angles no one had seen before.

They also promised to listen to the adults down on the ground – not to obey blindly, but to adapt what was useful and add Rooflander‑style value to it.

"Adults know things," Karlson said, "but Rooflanders know fun. Combine both – and you get magic."

And so happiness reigned in Roofland. Collaboration sparkled like sunlight on metal roofs. Karlson’s laughter echoed across the skyline, and the young Rooflanders invented, built, played, and dreamed.

High above the ground, they created a kingdom where joy was leadership, creativity was law, and every rooftop was a new beginning.

KoRe proverb: When a new river carves its path, the old banks must reshape themselves

KoRe Takeaways

When a name grows old, the story behind it asks for new light.

When a new river carves its path, the old banks must reshape themselves.

If you choose the path for its beauty and not its safety, do not be surprised by the cliffs.
