Just a note, Baikala. If you move the conduct that got you banned from the Discord server to the RMB, you will not last long here either.
We will not ban you if you follow the rules.
Please keep that in mind going forward.
You will also find that NS moderation has even less patience for breaking of their rules than AA server moderation does.

YW.
Though this Ted Ed video would deviate from the original discussion of genetic editing of human and other species to join the two, it talk about an interesting case study of chimeras, where a woman's cells contained some genetic codes belonging to her twin sister that never been born.
Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbcEXnNrvIA
Here is the article which the video is based on: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa013452

Man arrested for playing moon chants on loudspeaker at night.
At the Selvino neighborhood, Guglielmo Sarto was arrested at 3:30 for amplifying moon chants that were loud enough to be heard accross the neighborhood.
The chants included an invocation to a litany of moon deities as well as several proclamations on the divinity of the moon.

[spoiler=Episode 3: The Party Part 2]
Alek had stormed from the hall and turned to the one place he had any solace in this madhouse of a palace. The Garden.
His steps quicked through the brush as he fumbled with his sash, unsure of what to do next but once he reached the edge he would be fine. He always would be.
*Ah, alek.* Nara said as she turned from the stone rail. His spot. *I heard you and Charles from inside. Wish to tell me about that?* She said with her normal tone.
Alek had already suffered from an ordeal with one parent, he couldn't...he wouldn't go through it again. *I-...I * He stuttered.
Nara sighed. *You? You what?*
*I-...I will not!* Alek yelled as he turned to face his mother in the eye. Something he almost never did. *I will...I will not marry the King of some far off land! I am me. I am Alek! You can marry someone who you please but not me! I am not some..some sheep or a dog you can just kick! I wi-...!*
A loud smack echoed in the garden as Nara yelled her hand from his face.
A slowly creep of red skin burned on his cheek, with his entire body stunned in emotion.
Slowly he turned, his eyes slowly turning to face Nara as she grabbed his sash, thrusting him against the stone fence which lined the steps. *You listen here, Alek.* She said with a strong tone.
*I do not care about your own feelings. I do not care about your wants, your desires, whatever you please. You are a child, I know better than what you desire and what you want. You can speak, but no one wants to hear you.* She dropped his sash and turned away, leaving him against the stone as her feet tapped along the garden path.

I just now realized one very funny thing. Can I tell you about it?
Tesdai, Earthern Alliance, Schabinur, Khezite Mandali
I don't listen a lot of music, but pop music on the radio is generally fine for me.
Yes, you can. If not, the mods will delete it, but chances are not very high.
Tesdai, Earthern Alliance, Schabinur, Khezite Mandali, Venninak
Thanks for the permission. So, a funny moment. One of the available country banners has a multi-story yellow-red building with a green hill in front of it. If anything, it is under the name "Department of Supervision". So ... This building is located in Moscow, and this is the building of the former KGB of the USSR. Why did they put it in particular? It's simple. In the USSR, as everyone says, "there were repressions," and the KGB followed everything and everyone. An interesting fact: until August 1991, a monument to the "iron" Felix (popular nickname) or simply Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the KGB in the USSR, stood on this hill.

Interesting. I have never seen that banner, I guess my political freedom is too high. Maybe I should ban elections or something to add it to my collection.
Also, would you consider to join the WA so people can endorse you? It would be nice if other new nations like Blattusordia and Severnaia Republic (and many others I don't know of) would do that too.
Tesdai, Earthern Alliance, Schabinur, Khezite Mandali, Soviet-Federative Russia
I am very glad that you liked it. You are absolutely right about the fact that you do not have a banner. Your political freedom is at the "Excellent" level, but I have the level of "Unheard of"

Concerning the Resolution at Vote.
How do people here think about "twelve weeks [of paid leave] to care for a worker's new child, whether through childbirth, adoption, or foster care, should that child require such care from the worker." A condition is that there is no other family member that could care for a baby, but wouldn't there always be one that could choose to not go to work for a while? As in for example the following situation: either the mother or father has to care far a baby, but they work at different companies and one boss would like the mother to continue her job and the other would like the father to continue his job. Wouldn't this lead to conflicts? Also, doesn't 12 week sound like a bit much? There would be 3 months of paid leave per year if a someone manages to get a new baby every year, or at least 25% of working hours. And what if someone adopts a new child every 12 weeks, would that person be entitled to permanent paid leave?

You should contact Hansa Federation and wait for a few days. I also had to wait for some days before my claim was visible on the map.

I have 1 golden thingy. Yeah. How did you get your beverage sales so high? My beverage sales are miniscule, while I only banned LSD-soda and discouraged the consumption of alcohol by minors and didn't bribe some foreign government for more coffee beans. I mean, people can still drink other stuff like tap water and orange juice. Do you try to maximise those stats? The slope of your average income over time is higher than mine.
Edit: I noticed your Ignorance is very high, I suspected you didn't invest much in education. It's completely absent. Is it a good idea to keep people dumb to grow the economy? I am currently reading a book that advocates to do so.

"Over the hills and far away, for two long years he'll count the days. Over the mountains and the seas. A prisoner's life for him there'll be. He knew that it would cost him dear, but yet he dare not say. When the bells tolled, the light of joy sparked his smile as young men and boys cheered to the march of drumming soldiers. To the vagabond, they cheer. To their mother, they wave goodbye before the spring. They will return with tales of all. In the night we cheer and drink, the song of our last breath will rattled the cold air with our heartfelt tears. For tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day. As sure as the river reaches the sea. Back in his arms is where she'll be. She prays he will return one day, As sure as the rivers reach the seas. Back in her arms is where he'll be."

I made two electoral map for Texas, one is gerrymander to favor the Dems and the other one is proportional gerrymandered.
Texas took me a longer time to map than the other states I did as it's a big state with distinct partisan leaning that require "creative cartography" for me to particularly complete the challenge of gerrymandering the map in favor of the Dems.
Also, I'm I bit happy that for the fair map I was able to make a map that has a population deviation below the courts limit (<.75%)! This is the first for me! :)
Anyway, here are the links to the map I made:

Just wanted to thank Hansa Federation for putting me on the map. One small mistake, the name of the the country it is "Venninak" you wrote it as "Vennimak" but that is not a big deal right?
Deims Kir, Antarctican Immagrants, The Tribia, Earthern Alliance, Schabinur, Khezite Mandali, Baja Sunset
Gerrymandering is a strange thing. You don't have that with a system of proportional representation, but there are multiple ways in which you can divide the leftover votes in that system (favoring bigger or smaller parties)

I was not talking about one of his cards specifically, but about the general system of gerrymandering, which is: geografically dividing a territory into districts such that one political party or another gets a majority in the number of voters in the most districts. An example can be seen seen in the following image: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering#/media/File%3ADifferingApportionment.svg. I then added that you don't have this in system with proportional representation (which means that every vote is counted equally and so multiple parties can 'win' an election simultaneously), but that there can be multiple ways in which you divide the 'leftover' votes (because parties won't win a perfectly round numer of seats, but someting like 3.2 or 14.1 for example), which can sometimes be subject of debate.

Episode 3.5: Spokanes perspective
King Harrison gazed out on the sunrise. His hand had been forced, by internal politics and by members of various branches of his own family. He was supposed to be a man now, but he still very much felt like the boy that had taken back his throne in the middle of of a civil war, and felt the world crumble of the Spokane he remembered.
Harrison recalled sunshine days in the capital, playing with school mates and Emerald Dragon until the sun darkened. He fondly wished for hugs from his mother and his father placing the then huge crown on him, telling him that one day, he was to be king, with his father by his side.
But then, he had returned to Spokane for the first time in almost four years, 18, almost 19. He had carried a gleam in his eye straight up until he had stepped foot in the airport in Medical Lake.
It was gloomy, darker then what his memory had conjured of the last time he had been in the airport. It had been a display. Crowds of people had been there, watching as Jays sole child was sent to the SBR for schooling. The airport had been bright and colorful, but then n̓ty̓tyix airport was dark and very monotone when he had returned. A mark of the civil war.
Come to find out, most of his childhood friends and people he had known were either refugees, fighting for one side or the other, or worst of all, dead. So he had to start from scratch, especially after the mess of a nation Tshiss had left him.
And now Tshisss son, Adam, his own cousin, threatened to overthrow him if he didnt get married, so he appropriately and reluctantly sent a marriage proposal to a long time ally of Spokane, Kathricore, to marry their prince. And then he wasnt satisfied with his choice and his sexuality preferences. So Adam wasnt coming to the wedding in his greatest time of need.
Harrison needed a royal family member there at the wedding to carry out the old rites. He guessed he could always ask Pavlín, his other cousin, but he was sure that Pavlín was salty that his chances at the throne were now being taken away with this marriage.
He didnt know what he was going to do. It was at times like this that he so desperately wanted his mom and dad back, just even for a second, just to tell him what he should do.
He didnt want to disgrace the throne but he didnt want this marriage, but he definitely didnt want the crown to fall into Pavlín or Adams hands when he died. Harrison didnt know what to do.
He clenched his fist tighter on the balcony, as he thought. Harrison was slowly growing to hate the prospect of his future partner, Alek, by the second. He was dreading this wedding so much. And it was to happen here very soon.
