Nation States

[Cerebus]

By the way... who is The United Socialist States of Rheumesia?

That would be me. Guess I should've mentioned it.

I haven't got that issue yet. D:
I want giant purple spiders!

[fruckert]

I got that issue just now (The soda thing)...but the funny thing is, at the start, I didn't have any drug laws.
So this issue is pretty much a giant continuity error.

[MissingName]

Eeyup.

The Honorable Freddy Shiomi, Minister of Minding Other People's Business, has an idea: "This religion thing is such a great racket, why don't we make it a government monopoly? We'll ban all religions except the Church of OkenDoken, and make attendance and donations compulsory. I'll start writing the Holy Scriptures right away!"

I want that job. Now.



Plus:

Smarker, but ee's gone blongie 'round the clonger! Trandy in the blang warked a newtie on the Cheebers, quaff me a duggle if it's brine. Sorky, hang our trandy high!" says Buffy Dodinas, speaking for the demonstrators, in an apparently rousing response that draws a cascade of cheers. After a few uncomfortable minutes with a professional translator, you find the speaker said, "I respectfully disagree with the Minister. Multilingualism has brought stability to richly-cultured nations such as Brancaland; indeed, I challenge you to provide a single counterexample. I encourage this government to adopt a policy of multilingualism throughout OkenDoken!"

How is this so entertaining?

Also, I just did what I really think needs to be done.
You need to be licensed in order to be a parent.

The Issue

A spectacular but failed attempt on your life made national news today. Interrogation of captured suspects has pinned the blame on agents of the nation of Blackacre, with which Nelaga has notoriously chilly relations. Your cabinet is divided as to how to respond.

The Debate

   1. "Assassins, huh? Well, two can play at that game!" says Warren McCue, your chief military adviser. "An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth! An assassination for a... missed shot, I suppose. Never mind that, think of the possibilities! Not only can we strike back at the scumbags who sent this assassin after you, we can turn our attention to... 'manipulating' the positions of foreign leaders and political rivals that stand in the way of Nelaga's glory." He then points two fingers at the wall and mouths 'bang bang' noises.

Oh hail yes.

[MissingName]

I did the exact same thing.

[Cerebus]

Haven't got that yet.
But every citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, so crime is non-existant.
Of course, Political Freedoms and Civil Rights as well, but there is a price to pay for maximum security.

Well, they don't know what's best for them. 

[Grandy]

In my country crime is unknow, and that's just because I'm so great a leader nobody feels like stealing.


Also,

Angry farmers have taken to the streets demanding the government to act after reported sightings of strange green bird of somekind-like dogs eating all the crops in fields.

Forget purple spiders, I've got winged green dogs.

This unholy union should never have taken place to begin with," comments Pete Mombota, an angry farmer. "The green bird of somekind was never meant to mate with a dog!

 I think any biologist could attest to that.


Edit: I just realised that once Lucas' nations reacht he same problem, it'll be implied that archem mated with a dog.

[X_marks_the_ed]

8 hours ago: Following new legislation in FlagOkenDoken, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage.

YES! YES!

[Archem]

I am enjoying this PURELY FICTITIOUS POTENTIAL SCENARIO.

[fruckert]

The first sentence I read in this new issue was "Get your hands off my fag!"
Too bad I know that's slang for smoking :'{

[fruckert]

I said yes to that.
