Probably, if you like history and geography. I can name 163 of the 195 countries, I usually get confused trying to pronounce some of the African countries bordering Mali and Liberia and I forget about them, as well as some of the island nation in Oceania like tomor-leste. I always forgot about them.

Really?, I am pretty good at History myself, always have been.

Thanks!, and what is your fav era to study?

I only knew basic Russian, srry

However I can write and type in Cyrillic (Russian) very well though, and so is my ability to interpret the romanization of words from Cyrillic

Citalli wrote:I only knew basic Russian, srry
But still learning, mostly to restore my memory and to revive my ability to understand Russian

Spanish was my first language

I only speak few words of Russian, but I have been there.

Followed by English and then german and russian

I like learning about history starting about 1700's-Modern. Like any history buff I could go on for days about how much i looked into both world wars. But I do like learning of other Era's. Recently I took a liking to learning about Napolean. Especially his down fall at waterloo. Or when he crossed over the alps and destroyed his enemies army instead of reliving his general whose city was under siege. Favorite line was when Napolean said to his general that he should've never surrendered the city even though hundred were starving and sick. What Era/time period do you like?

Jelly is terrible with American biscuits, but delicious on some cookies, in Mexico and Mexican stores they have these really soft cookies that in between have a sweet and delicious jelly filling, I like the pineapple and the apple flavoured ones, though the apple one is really hard to get and rare, the can't be found around here

But yes, jelly is very nice on COOKIES, especially apple jelly, but in general terrible to combine jelly with a meat or cheese based biscuit

Mostly much more early, medieval times, so 700/1380AD, butr I know a lot of things about other eras as well.

I also own a lot of old things, like a Roman coin from the 3rd century, and a Catholic Missal from 1768.

I would have to go with CK2 and EU4, but the new M&B Bannerlord has gotten me hooked lately.

Only 163? Not bad. I can locate and name all 195 countries on a map as well as most of the territories and disputed regions.

Given a word bank I know where every country is located, but I can't name them all. I do know every States Capital in Alphabetical order.

I personally can name many countries of the world from the top of My head without a map, but sometimes i just forget some (about ⅛) but with a map i'm pretty sure i can do them all and maybe some disputed areas

Oh right, lol!

I don't really know who the person being commended is or anything about them, lol. So uh, not at this time, no.

For example 2 votes or so ago you encouraged us to vote in favor of commending someone else, don't remember who.

hey do you know how to see your military or can't you see it

I don't think you can see it.

You make a military factbook.

The Brands Shaion wrote:hey do you know how to see your military or can't you see it

You can see the percentage of your government expenditure which is spent on defence, which in your case is 29%. You can also see the percentage of your GDP which is government expenditure; 10% in your case. So that means that you spend 29% of 10% of your GDP on military; i.e. 0.03% of your GDP.

You can also see your defence forces stat.

Rosmana

LOL let's have a raid who has 5 million people here?

Hello, STU!

Would you look at the time! It’s almost the first of May! You know what that means, it’s almost time to vote for People’s Tribune! Voting will take place on the discord in #tribunate-election (which is also where I posted my main campaign). If you have any questions about my campaign or what I plan to do in office or previous experience or anything of that nature, feel free to wire me a telegram or message me on Discord! Hope to see plenty of voters tomorrow, maybe some of you will even vote for me. ;)

Thanks again,

Awessla

war

Shashwenstor wrote:war

War isn't really a thing in NS, mechanically speaking. There's raiding/defending, which is where you've picked the term up from, which entails taking over the delegacy of regions by moving enough WA nations endorsing a point nation into their region just before it updates. To make this explicitly clear, you need multiple people, as the rules are that you may only have one WA per player. Updates happen every 12 hours when Drew Durnil's fanbase doesn't break them.

In any case, the STU does not have a R/D military or even a state policy on our R/D stance, though as a raider aligned person myself it's definitely not gonna end up being fenda XD
