Region: Social Technocratic Union
If you love high fantasy and long reads, the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is perfect. The Lies of Locke Lamorra by Scott Lynch is really fun and takes a different approach to fantasy. But if you want an apocalypse/dystopia to punch you in the gut, Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky is perfect. On the other hand, most books by Walter Moers are fun and colourful, such as Rumo, the City of Dreaming Books, or the Alchemaster´s Apprentice, but I don´t if it fares well in translation.
When I write fun I mean it´s written fun and that there are small funny situations, not that the plot is comical.
Also, the Kangaroo Chronicals and the Discworld series are both great.

I had just recieved a issue for reclasifying "Fido" from its planetary status. Not controversial at all ;)

That was definitely one of the most tedious things I have ever done

How come I was reclassified as a psychotic dictatorship when I had higher civil rights than previously, and also some thing is wrong with the stat calculation algorithm, where while I'm trying to be more futuristic liberal and grow my pizza industry, IT DOES THE DANG OPPOSITE
Bolslania, Uncuteatoo, Apellidor, The Libertarian States
!!!
Was it due to the drop in Political Freedoms in your nation?
Budy take a look at my nation, the "Liberal NS" Feature is marking me as a fascist
My pizza industry got replaced by stupid primative "industries"
Bolslania
We in Citalli dont like fascism the main cause of 8 of all 11 citillan civil wars, which all of them ended a long time ago
Good as that is, jesus christ dude stop with the multi-posting.

does soemone upload a post about a map in this region on Reddit?
Good morning, everyone! How are you all doing?

Bolslania, Vierslan
Thanks to our endorsement campaign 'World Assembly Endorsements' is now my best stat. \[T]/
On the other hand, why is my intelligence stat higher ranked in our region (that is named social technocratic union) than in the world.
For a technocratic union we are quite... dumb? (atleast below average)
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Now see here boyo, my people are actually brainy (Last time a checked anyway)
In the real world, who would you say is the greatest citizens your country ever had, from 1 to 5? (Remember no ones list is wrong just a more personal question if that’s fine ).
For me as South Africa:
1)Nelson Mandela
2)Desmond Tutu
3)Chris Barnard
4)Leon Schuster
5)Trevor Noah
Bolslania
1. George Washington
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. FDR
4. Theodore Roosevelt
5. Alexander Hamilton

i actually have a very similar statistic yo yours, i have 14% inteligence compared to your 12% and i'm the STU i have 15% while You have 7%
Uncuteatoo
Germany...
I thought that it is easy. But I'm totally lost.
Because of this I don't order them and only name 3.
- Johann Guttenberg (print)
- Albert Einstein
- Otto von Bismarck (more or less the inventor of insurances and revolutionary of social welfare, perfect for our social technocraric union)
Some other interesting dudes:
- Catherine the Great (German royalty spreaded like cancer)
- Frederick II (nice cultured guy, that peacefully traded Jerusalem)
- Karl Marx (we invented communism and sadly perfected Fascism)
- Konrad Zuse (well, I'm a application developer...)
- Martin Luther (im not into religion, but he was quite important)
- too many musicians, poets etc (Bach, Goethe, Mozart... )
PS:
Ghandi is a great person. Obviously not from Germany, but if someone asks me about my most respected person, it would be Ghandi.

Hiya STU! Just a quick reminder that the NS Great Exhibition is currently on - see this dispatch for more details https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1359520
And for today's question - if you had a booth at an exhibition what would it advertise about you?!
Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
After gaining some ground in the game, I would most likely dedicate an exhibition towards a creative aspect.
I haven’t put thought into exactly what “creative aspect” I’d focus on but, I hope to find one soon.
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
That one's a tough one. It literally took me an hour to figure it out.
This booth would be a testament to my indecision and short attention span.
Honestly.
It would probably display all my unfinished projects (writing, rping, ns government, etc.) and varying interests through out my life and various activities that I enjoy/enjoyed.
It would bring about in full circle basically telling my life story through my ever-changing interests and ideas and how I moved away from them.
And then it would highlight how there were a few things I just couldn't leave. And those things are what I am.
And then, I think this IRC quote, which I found in a forum signature in Wintreath, fits nicely to wrap up the entire booth:
+IH: There needs to be some constant to life that we can hold onto, something extremely difficult to find if we are constantly on the move.
@Vidarr: I hold onto the constant of change
+IH: How delightfully paradoxical.
Antarctic Sarnz, Vierslan, Uncuteatoo
That's a great answer still xD
Wonderfully thought out! I would like to visit your booth! XD
Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
Post self-deleted by Antarctic Sarnz.
After much thought, and some soju, I’ve decided my booth would be a place full of random animal facts and pictures of all the beautiful birds from around the world. Entry into the booth required telling me an animal fact of your own though.
*I originally quoted the wrong person.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla, Karambo
Random animal fact - Sharks are cute :3
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
Sharks are cute! Most misunderstood or demonised animals are actually pretty cute.
Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
\o/ you are right with that xD I would visit your booth for sure!
Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
I might be with the minority here, but I find many animals considered "cute" by most people to be horrifying and dangerous; e.g. cats, dogs, squirrels, guineapigs, etc.
I find them to be horrendous if you take a closer look. I know it is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I stand by it.
Uncuteatoo
I don't understand why you would, but fair enough.
Ynerla
I think that spiders can be cute if they are a pet and you can pet them
P.S I’m also Australian so maybe that’s why

I feel like everyone already loves wolves though.
Bolslania, Ynerla, Peimbertia, Wintry North
Except for the several thousand years where they were hated. Sure
Peimbertia
Lots of animals are really misunderstood sometimes to the point where it is detrimental
Uncuteatoo, Peimbertia
I'm talking about now.
Peimbertia
Howdy STU, with all the recent news I'd like to try and stick to some positive vibes today. What is some good news you've heard or what is something good that has happened today?!
Ynerla, Rosmana, Peimbertia
You are totally correct! We seem to fear what we don't understand
Bolslania, Lenin Democratic State, Peimbertia
I've been named "Nation of the Week" in a region I've been helping out in. It really shows my contributions are appreciated.
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Peimbertia
Woohoo!! That's awesome! \o/ congrats!
Ynerla, Peimbertia
The weather is really nice today. It rained the entire weekend, so a bit of sunshine is a nice surprise.
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo, Peimbertia
The weather is continuing its run of being pretty damn nice here. Very enjoyable.
Uncuteatoo, Peimbertia
Its pretty ok here, though we could use a little rain. :)
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Peimbertia
It is very indicative of the state the world is in right now, when the best thing is that the weather is nice.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Rosmana
Indeed.
Howdy, howdy. Simply hearing that the weather is quite nice in various parts of the world and somewhat celebrating the new month with some good music.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
It's good hearing the weather is nice. It's better than nothing :) Also Pride Month yay!!
Bolslania, Technocratic Founder, Vierslan
"OH MY GOD I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT FLAG! BURN IT! BURN IT NOW!"
Good morning everyone (or afternoon or evening)! How are you all doing?
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz
In honour of Pride Month, the STU is letting its colours fly!
(Regional flag pending... probably - someone go bother Josh about it)
Shout out your LGBT+ or Ally status (if you're comfortable with doing so)! Let's all get to know each other a little better, and celebrate our strength in diversity!
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Ynerla, Awessla, Ritanstan, Lenin Democratic State, Pax Scio, Yugosland
Happy Pride Month all.
My LGBT+ status thingy would be, perhaps unsurprisingly, gay :D
Bolslania, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
My LGBT+ status is well I care about as much as I care about anyone else.
As in I don't really
(So ally I guess)
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
I'm an ally :> LGBT+ should be treated the same way as everyone, and not be looked down upon just 'cause of who they like! [there are still lots of bigots from where I live, sadly]
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Vierslan, Uncuteatoo, Pax Scio, Peimbertia, United South Africa
\o/ Yay for gay! xD
\o/ Allies are always great!
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Ritanstan, Milenion
Found out I'm ace. Overall, nothing much to it in my case.
I definitely will go bother Josh. With a sense of poise and rationality, of course.
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ritanstan
"Yay for Gay" omfg lol
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Vierslan, Uncuteatoo
Hehe couldn't help myself xD
Wonderful! And bothering Josh is always fun ehehe xD
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Vierslan, Peimbertia
So who here doesnt require sleep?
Uncuteatoo, Stratoss, Peimbertia
Most of the STU except me apparently o.o I need slep to function
Bolslania, Pax Scio, Peimbertia
How are you today?
Uncuteatoo
I'm a homo-romantic bisexual! The region is gay to its core \o/
Very tired... not enjoying having woken up feeling this crappy.
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Sadly I have no connections at all with LGBT (no one in family or friends). So I'm not really educated in this direction. What is the ally status? A representation of you level of support?
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Mhmm, an ally is someone who is supportive of the LGBT+ community.
Uncuteatoo
So when are we going to make the rivers run red with the blood of Fascist scum again?
Btw SECfanatics think it was the Black Hawks that hit them not us
Because it was. We're helping out TBH and the other orgs by piling.
ah
Anyway they are pissed beyond measure
So i see this as an absolute win
Technocratic Founder
Ally
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
Then I'm a ally.
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder
I’m a ally
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
I'm definetly an ally, ive never understood homophobes, like why do you care who other people love if you aren't a part of it ;-;
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Stratoss
I think it is sad that the "ally" status is a thing. People should just get over it and, if two consenting adults or similarly aged teens (similarly to one another that is) want to enter any sort of romantic or sexual relationship, great for them! Who cares where on the gender spectrum they fall or how they want to be referred to as. They should be allowed to do the same things everybody else is allowed to do and people ahould not make a big deal out of it. People are people, no matter what. The only things that should influence your attitude towards someone are their actions, not who they are. Happy Pride Month everybody, let's hope we won't need it anymore someday.
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo, Fellwieg, United South Africa
In a utoptia that is true and I absolutely agree with you that it shouldnt matter who someone chooses to f**k, as long as they are consenting adults (or teens because teens will be teens)
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
And as long they use contraception, why should teens not have intercourse if they so choose? It really shouldn't matter. That would is another thing I have a strong opinion about: The de-tabooing of sex and secuality, but I shouldn't start ranting here.
Regarding it being a utopia: Yeah, for my opinions I like to think of utopias first, only then do I take into consideration how absolutely terrible humans can be and are more often than not. Because humans are spawns of (insert your belief system's personification of evil, if you are atheist insert the terrible Austrian Charlie Chaplin impersonater's name), basic decency will never reach everyone.
Completely off topic:
The government of [nation=long]Pax Scio[/nation] wants to congratulate the fabulous [nation=long]Antarctic SARNZ[/nation] for 100 days of great, but labour-unintensive, work as the WA delegate of the glorious Social Technocratic Union!
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Fellwieg, United South Africa
Agreed
Antarctic Sarnz, United South Africa
Hehe! Such is the state structure of the STU. I just want someone I can trust to vote how I say when I say to be in the chair. Work is done by our fine folks in the WA department and myself, when I actually care about resolutions.
