Yes, my alcohol collection includes a fine brandy, but beware of my tea, it has Kool-Aid.

Nah, I already get enough of a headache from NS. This would cause immense brain ache.
Unofficial Question of the Day: What countries have you lived in or visited during your lifetime? Which did you like the most and why?
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
hi
Yaangze
You're right, then everyone would have spend twenty minutes a day looking up prim-and-proper synonyms for regularly used words.

Is it called "Jamestown"?

hello Yaangze and thank you for getting me to join this wondrous region

No problemo. Just don't break the rules. Otherwise, welcome home hermano

It means "brother" in spanish. Como mucho queso pastel.
That means, "How much cheesecake?"

Why would people not still work in the beverage industry because of compulsory vegetarianism?

Who needs logic when you have YAANGZE?

Xadrya gets it. But forreal, they're laying off the calories and still producing products that people by that has a lot of calories. In fact, cola without caffeine usually has 150 calories, while a coleslaw salad has 291 calories. I'm just stating that if vegetarians are eating for less calories, just stick to Coca-Cola Zero!

I have lived in Brussels, Belgium, Tennessee, Nebraska, Kansas, and Indiana. I have visited most states in America and have visited France, Germany, Greece, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and many more European countries.
The Question of the Day yesterday sort of got drowned out because the religions discussion erupted immediately afterwards, but anyway...
More Official Question of the Day: Just kidding, let's go with Xadrya's question for today.
Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
So far, I have only lived in Malaysia and Texas, although I have been to most Southeast Asian and Western European countries. I have travelled extensively around Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. I have been to most US states in the East and Midwest, but I kind of fell in love with Texas for some reason. In addition, I have also spent some time in Africa.
Araluen Ranger Corps
I have only ever lived in Georgia, (state) but I've visited West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida. I think I like Georgia the best.
I'm aware that's very under-whelming in comparison to Torranta's and Bluximburg's answers.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Hello
Xadrya, Clarkentrent
My Answer: I've lived in Southern Maryland for all of my life until last year when I moved to East Tennessee. I've visited no other countries but my father has been to almost every Western European and East Asian country. I am looking to visit Europe when I move out, for historical interest. I can't say I have a favorite place due to my lack of travel but if I had to choose one that sounds the most interesting it'd be either Italy or Japan for political, historical and geographical reasons and interests. Also, I've visited almost every eastern American state.
Don't worry about it. Most Americans haven't visited much. They need to get out more in my opinion.
Clarkentrent, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
Hey, welcome. If you have any questions about the region, or you're interested in how to become a shareholder (it's easy), then see here.

ha ha I'm american and i'v been to all 48 states (Hawaii and Alaska are to far away) and my aunt has been to Qatar, Norway, England, France and teaches math and she has been to more countries than that that is just all I remember and my grandmother has been to more countries than her and mi madre enseña español(my mom teaches spanish)
Clarkentrent, Yaangze
Though many Americans haven't visited much in comparison to most foreigners. I know Americans who've never left the country. America is neither the center of the world nor the only thing that exists. Though I wish I could visit all the states.
Clarkentrent, Araluen Ranger Corps
I know and its cool and a bore take a plane not a car but cars cover more states
My Answer: I've lived in California all my life, but I've travelled to: Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Utah, Florida, and Washington D.C.
Don't worry! my answer is underwhelming too :)
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Sometimes I don't think I want to travel anywhere really, and then other times I have a map planned out of countries I want to go to.I'm either perfectly content with my sliver of the globe or I want to see everything else.

I've always wanted to travel, and I've always wanted to go to the same nations.
Clarkentrent, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I love Israel and am actually planning a long trip there in the future. But, even though I haven't been there, I might know more about Israel than most Israelis xD
Araluen Ranger Corps
Yeah, I've heard a lot of Israelis think the same things some Westerners do of Israel.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
If I ever have the means to travel I probably would. I think I'd go to the Bahamas, Japan, New York City, Israel, and all of Europe (under the assumption that by the time I can travel on that scale Europe is better crime wise than it is now).
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
You might want to hold off on a lot of europe for a while (especially the large EU countries) A: I've heard that things have been quite... EXPLOSIVE over there in recent years. B: non-explosive crime is a problem too, Italy made it LEGAL to steal food is you're starving; which in my opinion means that they're one step away from instituting the purge xD.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Yeah, I know. I said all of Europe because I'm hoping that by the time I have the means to travel on that scale it will be better. Probably naive, but eh.
I forgot to mention that I'd like to see Israel one day too, I edited my post to reflect both of those things.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Yeah, I live in a small town where no one goes anywhere, so my family is pretty outlandish to everyone else because of all the traveling weve done. Also, my sister was born in Belgium, so I have a European sister.
Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
That's interesting. I live in a small town in East Tennessee and I don't think I've met a single person not born in that area and I'm almost certain everyone there has lived there their entire life. I personally have family born in Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea but I'm 94% European so it doesn't make too much sense.
No. The chance of someone dying in a terrorist attack in Europe is significantly minute, I would feel no fear going there. The only nations I'd be afraid of are Sweden and Germany, and not so much Germany. Italy is bad in some areas but my friend who lived in Italy just a year ago said it wasn't too bad.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
There are also entire neighborhoods in paris where thousands of african migrants sleep in the streets. The photos are pretty scary. I didn't just mean terrorist attacks, hundreds of people are murdered every year in western europe by migrants. Murder isn't the only problem either; petty theft, rape, these are all large problems over there. Also, migrants aren't the only problem; pickpockets are EVERYWHERE in Rome and Athens. I'm not saying that you won't most likely be fine if you travel there, I'm just saying that there have been (and hopefully will be) much safer times to travel to europe.
Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
This is not everywhere, you can find all kinds of places.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I did all the Europe stuff about nearly 12 years ago though, before it got explosive as some of you would say. I think everything about Europe is just more tasteful than America. America standardizes their buildings and they all look the same, but in Europe you can travel to a different nation in just a couple hours from anywhere, and each country has their own beautiful architecture, landmarks, excursions, etc. I just think Europe is a wonderful place culturally (maybe not politically). My favorite places in the United States are: St. Louis, Kansas City, The Rocky Mountains, and Washington D.C. That whole area around D.C is just beautiful. I actually cried when I saw the Declaration of Independence and Constitution for the first time. The entire West of the US is also great. They have the Black Hills, The Rockies, Yosemite, Arches, Yellowstone, The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, they pretty much have all the greatest geographical features of the US over there. I think most of the Eastern US is boring.
I remember the security of many European countries can get really aggravating. They test your urine and everything! (That was Germany, I think) You should also bring your own washcloth if you plan on traveling there. Most European hotels do not provide wash clothes in their rooms.
Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I know that, I would feel safe going to plenty of places: Most of the UK, Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, and Denmark; just to name a few.
Araluen Ranger Corps
I love Europe significantly more historically and culturally but I would always call America my home. I'm the patriotic type, not the nationalistic snob more the type of person who gets the feels when he hears the national anthem or reads the Constitution. Though I would say I'm not fond of Europe politically, I like the ease of travel that the EU has brought and all but Europe could use some changes...
Clarkentrent, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Ever since I have been to D.C., I have teared up at the Star Spangled Banner. Nothing makes me more angry than people who take for granted the advantages we have in America. Also, you should listen to the Ray Charles version of America the Beautiful. It's priceless.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
You're certainly right about the western U.S. So much beauty and geographical diversity over here. Vast deserts, scenic Pine forest mountains, The great redwood forest, and lots of great beaches; all just a few hours away from each other. This message was paid for in part by: www.VisitCalifornia.com
Torranta, Araluen Ranger Corps
Ray Charles is an amazing singer, I love his voice. I did actually see the video of him singing it. Me having taken an interest in American history I've learned a lot to improve my idea of what the US is and what it stands for. I tear up every time I hear the National Anthem as well.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Excuse me, sir, do not insult my Eastern US. You like mountains? Have you even heard of the Appalachian Mountains? They're great. You know New York City? That's Eastern US. Plymouth Rock? Eastern US.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I love the Appalachians, I live right next to them, beautiful view.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Less great than the Rockies. Also, the East has WAY less geographical appeal as the West. One mountain range does not warrant supremacy over an entire region of the US filled with geographical features. I do enjoy the Virginia/Maryland part of the East, though. Very beautiful. Can we all agree that the Midwest is boring, though?
Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Yes, the Rockies are indeed the most beautiful mountains in the US.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps

The Midwest is boring indeed.

Your blatant condoning of violence is quite horrid, I'd have to say. The discord you have insinuated in Lands End is absolutely intolerable.

You're retort is acknowledged, However the arrangement that was quandam yours to make, is forthwith in my hands. The scene is promptly set, as we now endure a rousing round of verbose.

I'm back folk. I was busy expanding my puppet, Ny Svenska Landa's, lore. It is purely state pride.

Araluen Ranger Corps
Endure? Endure demonstrates labor, as if we were but nonchalant schoolboys hindered to their pews in a chapel. Shall we endure such toil whilst hither is naught to be obtained for me nor yourself, notwithstanding my initial refusal of your proposal to initiate said duel of vocables? And, I might conglomerate, Verbose is defined as utilizing a numerical value of words that exceeds necessity, not to speak with elevated eloquence, which is what thou hast implied with fair intentions.

Rockies are the best
Colorado and MAryland are the best

That's fine. Just make sure not to post twice without another post separating it.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
While I do grasp your denotation, the disfigurement of your assertion is endemic. It was all but outright occult that it is to be you who would expeditiously encounter the desideratum to "endure".
I do see your latter point. However, a rousing round of verbose which lacks eloquence; would be akin to a fine carafe of Bordeaux, without its accompanying platter of Roqueforte.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Don't screw up your chances like I did back in The Pacific. Here is good life.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Yes, we got the good stuff here..
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
To my disdain, I must note your fallacy in proclaiming the symbiosis of verbosity and eloquence. Verbose refers to any longevity in utterance in which the causation is not excess material, but rather a surplus of words that could express similarly the interpretation of said vocation. Eloquence, nevertheless, is used in reference to an exalted state of mind in which one is compelled to utilize accelerated vocabulary. The two are not mutually exclusive, ensuring the obscenity and degradation of your logic. Now, should I be permitted, I feel the compulsion to remove myself from this phallic encounter.

Post by Upper Sove Naiver suppressed by Torranta.
question,, how do i make my economy stronger and gain more power?
To answer your question, though, you improve your economy by answering issues to promote industry, trade, or pretty much anything about money. Be careful though: If you don't pay attention, you can seriously damage your civil and political rights. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by gain power. If you are talking about regional power, you can gain endorsements from other nations if you are a WA nation, and increase your influence. Or, you can just participate frequently and get involved in the Regional government to earn a spot on the Board of Directors. I was a bit uncertain what you meant by power, so if this does not answer your question, please specify.

I'm fairly new to NS, and so far I have only really been playing the gameplay aspect, is there anything I'm missing out on?
Araluen Ranger Corps
There is cooperative Roleplaying in many regions, or you can role play by yourself. You can write fact books to further develop your nation. You might also consider exploring the World Assembly. I wont go into full detail of the endless possibilities here, but you can find more info in this dispatch.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=878866
The main thing to remember is that there is no shortage of things to do in NS. You might even find your own use for the site.
