ur an idiot
Dirty Sassenach.
Jaslandia, Yukona
I mean, technically Sassenach means lowlander so were also Sassenachs :L
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
So the USA's national anthem melody was orginally a British drinking song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydAIdVKv84g
Somebody must have been really drunk and enjoying this song to use it as the national anthem. :D
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Percyton
I thought it was just a name for the English.
Jaslandia
It stems from the Gaelic word for Saxons and referred to anyone who wasnt a highlander and didnt speak Gaelic (ie. Lowland Scots and more). It then over time evolved into a description of the English (and later a derogatory remark).
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
I read that at one point, Gaelic was widely spoken all across Scotland but over time, it became relegated to the Highland clans.
Jaslandia
Can't say I'm too surprised. This was an era before recorded music and pop music, so drinking songs were pretty popular and common. It was either drinking songs or classical music like Beethoven or Mozart, and I guess that didn't fit the lyrics as well.
Penguania And Antarctica
As a result of this wave of sexual assault/harassment allegations that's going on, many newborn Mercunovan males are now being neutered at the request of their parents.

What about sexual assault/harassment of men by women??
Yukona
Following the news, there hasn't seemed to be as much of that going on. All the career-ending allegations have been regarding men.
Also I don't control the actions of the Mercunovites. I can only report the statistics.
Possibly the only time where the words 'expedition' and 'Spain' in the same sentence resulted in something good.
Bet you're excited about today, eh Nuremgard? jk

Gordon: The Flying Scotsman! My brother! Congratulations on your proud anniversary, Scott! Though we may have our rivalries and competitiveness (such as during the Great Railway Show a few years back), I have to admit that Flying Scotsman's record reflects well upon not just all Gresley A-class engines (such as me and Scott), but also all of Sir Nigel Gresley's engines. And I'm proud to be the brother of a record-holder, though I am a bit jealous of the fame that accompanies that record.

(I'll add more info tomorrow, I just needed to get this out as it's too late to continue now.)
The Country South of our border which calls itself Khavyrinia "we refer to their land as The Southern Khavyrik Republic, or Nyskan" has suffered a major catastrophe. Unregulated mining caused a massive rockslide, this combined with heavier than normal rainfall has lead to a massive flooding of Lake Kazimis has killed over 200,000 and displaced millions.

Oh my! How awful! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Khavyrik people, and we urge the Khavyrik government to enact reforms to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again.

Yukona, Percyton
We do not recognize their use of Khavyrinia as their name, as Pyrth and Ryshikk are true Khavyrinian lands. The human occupiers in the South are not Khavyrinian. But yes, it is an unfortunate thing.

It's like the Tories are being held hostage by the DUP, with their commands being followed at every whim to avoid the Conservative government from collapsing.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
May didn't need to do a deal with them. She could have formed a minority government and they'd have voted along with her anyway. But because she made that deal and gave them the cash, they've become uppity as they know they've got May by the balls.
It has also emboldened bigots of the Orange variety up here to be more brazen and outspoken. There has been an increase in anti-Catholic abuse in Glasgow. They think because their pals in Ireland now run the show, they can behave as they will.

Gotta' love how some people think Britain has entered some kind of racial utopia because a rich black woman has married a rich white man.
Axeldonia, Vetriutan 2
This is the problem with the New Left, which is that they are aware of social injustice, but are unaware of economic injustice. They will applaud a marriage between a rich white man and a rich black woman, ignoring the economic aspect of that marriage, which is that two people can put their already large assets to form what is essentially a corporation through marriage. Marriage today, especially for the wealthy, is largely economic, and not romantic. But the New Left seems to be blinded by the fact that this marriage is interracial, ignoring how such marriages have been legal for decades by now, while the negative economic aspect of marriage still holds.
This is a perfect example of why the New Left will lose to the Populist Right. The New Left seems to be okay with maligning the white working class, ignoring the fact that doing that will draw them to the Populist Right, even if bigoted racial views are coupled into their local movement. The Left needs to realize that economics is important too and that it does not exist in a vacuum, but that it also influences social conditions.

Hey yall! Sorry ive been kinda off recently but Ill be busier than ever before in the next couple weeks (choir concerts and midterms)
Anyways I recently bought Stellaris and thought "Wouldnt it be cool to recreate that Space Opera RP ingame". For those of yall thay dont know we held a Space RP a long time ago and it was actually one of the more successful ones. It was the regions best one in my opinion
So I bought Stellaris on sale and even though I know nothing about the game or modding (yet) Ive got a long break up ahead so I can learn more
Now I wouldnt get your hopes up for anything because 1. Ill be pretty busy over the break and 2. My toaster can only handle so much. However I would really like to try. The reason I posted this here is because I wanted to see if I could get info from anyone about getting their nation in this pretty ambitious project.
Again please dont get your hopes up because I really cant promise how well I can do on this. However I hope I can make it something really good
Space RP Link (for those of yall that made nations in it or just to see what I'm talking about):
