Ever heard of Brasilistan?
No?
They abducted my citizens.
I responded.
I wish to tell you one thing:
Only I abduct my citizens.
No exceptions.

Thanks for that info, guys. No offence intended by my ignorance.
Salaxalans did you both, and all of Spiritus, very proud.

Yes. Brasilistan held my ex-pats hostage once . . . I figure they're cohorts of Bigtopia who have also been aggressively skirting the edges of International Law.

Just so dang close to winning. Oh well.
Congrats on second place!
Too bad we didn't play Cards Against NS everday of the election but hey, the last April Fools Day joke was gathering dust so I blew the dust off and advertised it in almost every election forum.

Be well, Spiritus.

Eh?
You resigned from the World Assembly, and now this RMB post, Taeji . . . ??
I hope were not losing you.

Thank you,
your concern is appriciated.
There must be multiple of those 'banana' republics with the same name.
Since Brasilistan is now Alekseandrean soil!
I should change my motto:

I agree with you, "The Dominion of Alekseandra" There must be multiple banana republics with the same name. It is a very common name and immature, and some people on the site are immature.

What are everyone's views on using potatoes as slaves? I tried, but they just don't do much. And whipping them just does nothing.

French Fries are potatoes cut small and long, then fried, then fried again. Shake salt and enjoy.
Chips are thin cut potato slices fried and tossed with salt.
Cookies are sweets, Biscuits are breakfast items served with other breakfast items.
Realize the color of the center of a potato is white.

Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Actually though, we call fries 'fries'. Chips are fatter and are served with proper meals; fries are only served with fast food and American style dishes. Where I live, Burger King have actually made the 'fries' fatter, thus better resembling chips. Nobody asked for it and it just means we get less for our money.

When Britain gave birth to America, he rather hoped his son would grow up to be a fine part of the aristocracy and be a worthy successor when Britannia finally passed away. Unfortunately, the American nation got in with the wrong crowd (the French-- btw, lick my arse, Napoleon) and joined the local gang, never leaving his rebellious youth stage and bringing so much shame to Britain that we had to disown you.

Ass-licking aside, the hope for finally being able to eat at father's table was dashed without getting to know us.
We grew restless, then striked while the iron was hot. We marked this territory as our own, then separated from our abusive birthers.
We messed up a multitude of peoples, but we didn't need father's permission.

*sigh* stupid WA forcing public freedoms on my country
Matrixulated
Why is there a cap on how many endorsements a country can get, when they aren't the WA delegate? I endorse our current delegate, but I find it funny that a new one can't be forced in, if the countries of Spiritus chooses to do so.
Matrixulated, Asmovia
Spiritus actually has a regional government, though this may not be easily seen if you only look at our RMB because the majority of the things the government does is handled on our regional Forums. However the Regional Government does have complete control over this region, for example the Delegate is selected by the President, and the President is elected every four month by the Citizens of Spiritus. So, the Citizens of Spiritus do have a bit of say in who becomes the Delegate, though please note that just having a nation here does not mean you're a citizen. You only become a citizen when you sign up on our forums and apply for citizenship, which I highly recommend you do because only as a Citizen will you gain certain rights such as determining who the President, Delegate, and other members of the Regional Government will be. Plus you only gain the right to a trial if you are a citizen, if you aren't one then your nation can be legally kicked out of the region at any time with no cause (not that that would or does happen, but still).
As for why we have an endorsement cap in particular, well even though we have a founder who can kick invaders or misbehaving players out easily, if some nation did manage to become Delegate even for a few hours, they could make those hours very annoying for all of us. If you are against the endorsement cap or you think it should be higher, that's another thing you can do as a citizen, question laws and even propose changes.

I like haggis, though 'tis not my favourite, and I agree Yorkshire puddings are better, especially with Sausages or Roast Beef, and smothered in gravy!
"Fois gras" supposedly tastes sublime, but I shall never eat it because it is the result of hideous torture and cruelty to poor defenseless animals; ducks mainly in this case...No, no, no, no, and NO! -
French fries are long, thin, chipped (sliced and then cut longitudinally) potatoes deep-fried in oil and actually invented in Belgium, but you know America "discovered" them for the first time as their soldiers liberated France during World War II, so they were called French fries...
**(Dumb Americans)**
Chips are thick-cut, chipped potatoes deep-fried in oil, invented in Britain and commonly served with Fish, Steak, or a multitude of other dishes; first referenced in the English language in the early 1600's, after Sir Francis Drake sailed the ocean blue and brought back the humble potato as well as tobacco to Europe - See here:- http://www.lovefood.com/journal/features/19831/the-history-of-chips
What you describe as "chips" is an "Americanism" (you poor misguided and educationally-challenged fools), whereby "thin cut potato slices fried and tossed with salt" are actually what should be termed "crisps"; but are also a thinner version of what used to be called "penny chips" (which are also slices of potato fried and tossed with salt but are thickly cut, with a crisp exterior, and light fluffy interior.
Biscuits are a small baked product that are hard, and may be savoury or sweet, such as chocolate biscuits, digestives, hobnobs, ginger nuts, rich tea, bourbons and custard creams. The term is derived from the Old French word "bescuit", which is derived from the Latin words "bis" (twice) and "coquere", "coctus" (to cook, cooked), and, hence, means "twice-cooked" - This is because biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process: first baked, and then dried out in a slow oven. This term was then adapted into English in the 14th century during the Middle Ages, in the Middle English word "bisquite", to represent a hard, twice-baked product - A characteristic trait of biscuits is that as they "go off" they go soft - This trait is so well recognised that biscuits are scientifically and legally defined partly by this condition.
A cookie is a small, flat, sweet, baked good, usually containing flour, eggs, sugar, and either butter, cooking oil or another oil or fat. It may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips or nuts.
In most English-speaking countries, except for the US, crisp cookies are called biscuits. Chewier cookies are commonly called cookies even in the UK.
Most cookies are only strictly "cookies" if they are soft and chewy, and go hard as they "go off" - This characteristic is something that cookies share with cake, and no wonder as the word cookie derives from the Dutch word "koekje" or more precisely its informal, dialect variant koekie which means "little cake", and arrived in American English with the Dutch settlement of New Netherland, in the early 1600s - It is also related to the Germanic word "kuchen", which also means "cake" - Thus cookies are scientifically and legally defined as "cakes"; in the same way as biscuits are defined by their hard texture and tendency to go soft as they "go off"; thus cakes are defined by their tendency to be soft and go hard as they "go off", and ofcourse cookies follow this trait of cakes.
Now then: Color vs. colour - "Color" and "colour" are different spellings of the same word - Color is the preferred spelling in American English, and colour is preferred in all other varieties of English (only Americans insist on changing the spelling of things to suit their low intelligence, and poor grasp of a language they did not invent).
Both spellings are many centuries old. "Color", now regarded as the American spelling, in fact predates the United States by several centuries. In early use the spellings vied for ascendancy with several other spellings. "Colur", "culoure", and "coolor", for instance, were all in the mix before the modern British spelling gained permanent prevalence in the 17th century. The American preference for "color" took hold in the middle 19th century thanks in large part to the "conscious simplification" of English spellings by people such as the lexicographer Noah Webster.
No, no it is not, you poor idiotic imbecile; the illegitimate offspring of the slack-brained, slack-jawed yokels of olde!That would be Aluminium Foil - Oh dear! - I can see this individual will need remedial English lessons for 15-20 years, and a full frontal lobotomy with replacement BRAINz transplant! **Licks lips**That's a very accurate observation! - The US is the b*stard child of multiple minglings of European fraternisation...

Matrixulated, Greater Madaloria, Hurpadurp
JZJ, you need to remember that England and America are two countries separated by a common language. You use the language your, we'll use it our way, and since there are more of us than there are of you, our way will turn out to be the more correct. Languages evolve constantly and if you think they don't, ask Chaucer...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Yo, limeys, understand that Lumberjacks is correct.
Literally can now mean metaphorically now. What even?
But, there can be no correct language. Only an appropriate language.
