Despite my best efforts, the leading cause of death in my, without doubt, glorious nation is 'disappearance'(47.6%).
Which, frankly, is their own fault.
They should have known that, yes, they're allowed to have their own opinions.
As long as you agree with my opinions, I really don't care.
If they can't realise that, they are simply too stupid to live.

I disagr- Agh!
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, Alekseandrea, Nua Hosnia
Meanwhile a very small minority of people in my nation people literally want to legalize cannibalism and eat eachother during dinners if everyone is fine with it.
Just, just what..
Matrixulated, Pixelpark, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, Amalgam Of Atoms
I would put those cannibalistic dogs in front of a firing squad for having such ill thoughts toward their fellow Chedakirusians, let alone humans in general.
Matrixulated
I rest my case.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, The Supreme Echelon
I don't think I like the fact that after the leading cause of death in my country, Old Age, the runner up is "Lost in Wilderness" with 8,9%.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
At least your people live long enough to die of old age...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
More people die of murder than of old age and the average lifespan is 33 years.

I am top ten in the region for crime, obesity, retail, freedom from taxation, gambling, and charmlessness.

Okay I laughed.
Meanwhile I have experimental pizza delivery drones, toll roads, and politicians own snow panthers.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Meanwhile, I'm in the top 10% for General Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Mining. I'm slowly, gently, inexorably stimulating my economy and it's exceeded 1 trillion.
Matrixulated
I think I messed up my nation, there are now cannibalistic people driving main battle tanks to stop robberies.
Send help.

Hey guys I am going to get rid of political freedoms and maybe civil rights. Any help?
Matrixulated
I have the lowest political freedom in this region and top 100% in the world

If that's what you want, so be it, I'll do things my way, thanks...

Do not listen to Lumberjacks,
he's simply envious.
In your state Lumberjacks actually have work.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
Hey lumberjacks do work. Where do you buy your lumber from, anyway? Or we can clear cut any forest you'd like, in short order, mate. Being politically free doesn't mean loafing about...
Matrixulated, Alekseandrea
Yet you are in the top 95% of Industry: Timber woodshipping...
You'll have to change your name to 'The free Comune of rogue tree-huggers'.
It would be a more accurate description.
Matrixulated, Rogue Lumberjacks
What we are low ranked in is timber woodchipping. We ship whole boards and planks, not pulpwood...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
The more planks, the more woodchipping.
What else would you do with the waste?
Eat it?

I finally did something good.
I built the Hanging Gardens in my country apperently, because someone in an issue thought it was good.
It accounts for 50% of the water use in my country, worth it.
The Salaxalans, Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
50% water use is too high for gardens....better reap benefits of tourism now
Matrixulated
When you're a Jedi-Zombi Jezuit, water isn't so important; I mean we are undead citizens! - Build the Hanging Gardens! Reap the BrAa¡inZ of those tourists who will NEVER LEAVE!

Ever thought about where all those "disappeared" people go?! - I heavily recruit new converts to my Church from there!! 😂😇😉 - Thank you!
The Jedi-Zombi Jezus is in the top 5% of the region for Weather, Human Development Index, Inclusiveness, Intelligence; top 4% for Law Enforcement, Tourism, Economy, Government Size; top 3% for Compliance, Safety, Information Technology Industry, Religiousness, Scientific Advancement, Taxation, Eco-Friendliness, Average Icome of Poor, Health, Public Education; top 2% for Public Transport, Pacifism, Niceness, Business Subsidisation, Compassion, Foreign Aid, and Public Healthcare...
We are also in the top 0.8% of the region (top 2% of the World) for Employment! - However that may have something to do with our leading cause of death; 62.6% die of "Involuntary Euthanasia" - Basically, when you are no longer a productive member of society, society disposes of you; quietly, peacefully, and in as nice and compassionate a manner as possible!
Incidentally, 18.1% get "Lost in the Wilderness", 16.5% die from "Acts of God" (ie. Me!), 1.6% die from "Zombi Hound Attack", and 1.1% die of "Suicide in Police Custody"...

HAIL POTATOS..... lol good morning
Matrixulated
Ido.
It's called capitalism.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
It's also called ripping people off...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Survival of the fittest.
Those who buy to much junk, will be unable to support their children.
The people with poor intelligence and/or poor self-control will be removed from the population.
Thus we have the advantages of eugenics without having to pay for it.
It's a self-solving problem.
I should make a world assembly resolution:
"improving the population by encouraging the buying of para-usefull items."
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
Remind me not to go shopping in your stores, ever. I buy based on quality, not price...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Do y'all have something against each other?
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, Alekseandrea, Amalgam Of Atoms
This is the reason why you need a more of a... Firm hand, on the people. The people don't know what is good for them. You need to tell them what will keep them happy and healthy and force them to do it. Otherwise.... Well, there is a global epidemic of obesity in rich countries. Just saying

Nah, we just enjoy trying to get each other's goat. It's what passes for witty banter around these parts. Plus major philosophical disagreements...

Sorry to interrupt the banter, fellas, but I actually think that statement warrants further appreciation.

Overspending is also wasteful.
You don't need a nuclear warhead when an orbital bombardment suffices.

Matrixulated
If you're up to the task, write one up! Pretty sure they crowdsource issues these days, right?
On my front, I just killed my economy in the name of science and artificial intelligence. My model for this nation is make scientific advancement whenever possible. So such is the price of progress.
Matrixulated
When you buy quality, it doesn't mean wasteful~if had bought a Yugo, that car is long gone by now, but if you had instead bought a much more solidly built car, like say a Toyota Land Cruiser, you might still be driving it years from now. Quality can last for generations...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Hell yeah you need both. Isn't it worth it for THE POWER?

Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Hurpadurp
It's about using, not acquiring.
Orbital lasers tend to be a bit more reuseable.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Yes, but do you WANT it to last for generations?
The older a car becomes, the more one will spend on the maintenance of said car.
After a while,a new car, will, in the long term, be cheaper than the old car.
Therefore you don't want a longlasting car, because it would cost more to build and in the end, more to maintain.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
I don't know about you, but when I see someone driving down the street in a Model T, rather than a Geo Metro, I am envious. I'd much rather have that old Ford, my friend...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Well nukes are reserved. You don't use nukes for just any old issue, but when the time comes, a cobalt jacketed, multi megaton bombing is most effective
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Also, orbital lasers can be disabled by EMP blasts in the upper atmosphere. Deep dug, radiation hardened bunkers can't be hit.

Monsanto is even more evil than I am
Praise be.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea, Nua Hosnia, Chedakirus
On the topic of classic cars, I used to have a Bel Air, and now I have a VW Campervan. They're difficult to maintain, but it's all part of the fun and its preferable to modern cars. Cooler, as well.

Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Have you priced fixing a 'new' car recently? And you can't do it yourself anymore, unless you have all the computers and software. At least with an old car, I can do the work myself, and its well worth the effort.

You, a consumer, are not rational?!
Now we'll have to rewrite the whole economic theory!
Why can't you be rational!? Why!?

Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
This from the man who says he'd rather sell me crap than honest goods? Make up your mind, First you tell me you don't want to sell me quality, then you push the quality of the junk you do want to sell me...
Nothing irrational about preferring something that still works after a hundred years to a piece of junk that has to be recycled next week. If your economic theories can't handle that, then they need to be rewritten. It's irrational not acknowledge facts...

I wish to sell junk to those lacking inteligence and self-restraint.
The rest I sell has an acceptable quality.
Acceptable is defined as not junk being and not longlasting items.
But, if you wish to buy junk, who am I to disagree?
I use the theories everyone else is using.
It's hardly my fault they butchered mathematics and common sense.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
I am for a law that would do that, the more one is overweight, the more we should pay a lot of junk food, except for those with diseases that have accordingly overweight.
Price normal for people of normal weight, the body mass index would be considered not to discriminate against tall people.
Matrixulated
Acceptable quality is code for still junk. Real quality is not just acceptable, but identifiable...
And the fact that everybody else is doing it that way is no excuse. Remember what your Mom used to say~"If everybody else is jumping off a cliff, are you going to jump off that cliff too?" Don't be a lemming, do right by your customers...
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea
Acceptable wares aren't junk.
I need to be able to sell them to most of the population.
I'm evil, not stupid.
Junk, on the other hand, provides the (in most cases) minority of really stupid and/or really impulsive with , well, junk.
I asked my most trusted advisor to comment on the state of our 'economical theories'.
The answer was succinct and to the point:
"meow. "
I agree with his reasoning.
Despite the flaws of our current theories,
they serve our purposes.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, Nua Hosnia

On the first four sentences, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Mr. Nibbles is outraged you dare to call him an "'advisor'" instead of "advisor".

That's speciesist.

It's not what you said, it's the way you said it.
If we would call you a lumberjack, you wouldn't care.
If we would call you a 'lumberjack', we would be implying that you, in fact, are a lumberjack in name only.
Which would be insulting.
If you ARE a lumberjack, that is.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
Being delusional doesn't give your opinion any worth.
Everyone in possession of any intellect whatsoever can clearly see that my opinion is worth more than yours.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
It's not called badmouthing.
It's called telling the truth.
Didn't your mother tell you the difference?
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks
The way you described Mr. Nibbles. I would question any degree he has in economics. There are no degrees in lumberjacking, just experience in chopping down trees. I rest my case...
Why, because you adhere to the 'common' wisdom, the current mania for built in 'planned obsolescence'? Thinking outside the box, being a 'contrarian' can have a great deal more value, just ask Warren Buffet...
And you can't recognize sarcasm, which my mother could do. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Then it's a witch!
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Rogue Lumberjacks, Alekseandrea
He doesn't need a degree in economics, he's a cat.
Don't be silly.
What can one teach a housecat?
They get free food, free housing and get petted.
If they want, they sleep through the day.
Everybody wants to live like they do.
Few succeed.
The fact that they're capable of said feat proves they're more intelligent than the average human.
Why would I choose a human who studied economics as advisor?
Everyone knows that if you're actually intelligent, you don't study economics.
The intelligent become doctors, rocket scientists, engineers...
Not economists.
Even a broken clock will show the right time twice a day.
..., we still can't say anything about it.
Is a duck or not?
What makes a duck a duck?
Are you a duck?
Are ducks planning total nuclear annihilation?
I really can't tell.
You failed to provide enough information.

A good shepherd, is so good at herding sheep, that the sheep don't even know they are being led...
Using the sheep's hopes and dreams, fears and anxieties; the sheepdogs, the threat of the circling wolves (whether there or not), the promise of greener pastures, good company, sex, a better life for their little lambs, and the threat of impending violence or death they are controlled and manipulated without many ever seeing the shepherd - They may question the shepherd's authority (or even existence), and even think they may demand things of the shepherd (who cannot hear/listen or acknowledge them), yet they all end up sheared, shawn, butchered and dead by the expert shepherd's manipulations and machinations...

And yet you're telling me he's smarter than you are. I wonder...
You don't have to be broken to right twice a day. Just trying to broaden your perspectives When Henry Ford was running Ford Motors, He built the highest quality cars he could and sold them for as little as he could afford to, not for the highest profit margins he could manage. This made him one of the wealthiest men in the world, and that formula worked all the way up to the 'Edsel', when the bean counters got control and ran the company into the ground, which, I will admit, took them the better part of a half century...

Considering all this witch burning was based on piss-poor translations in the King James version of the Bible. Twenty-three different professions were lumped together under the label of witch, when it said "...Suffer not a witch to live...", it was referring to a woman who poisoned her husband. No of the other twenty-two professions were meant to be subject to that penalty. After all, King Solomon himself consulted with the "Witch of Endor', who was a Snake-Priestess...
