Surely I don't have the explain to the fascist how efficient multiple lovers are. Or is a Triumvir supposed to go without companionship when you're eight months pregnant with his heir?

In this trio I am obviously the superior monarch.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I kinda see you as the Mark Antony and Ald as your Cleopatra. So, you know. enjoy yourself and keep your wife away from snakes.
Nuremgard, Aldaur, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus

Aww. That's nice. Although don't tell Aldaur you think he's Cleopatra lol
Aldaur, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Psssh, I'm Trajan.
Hush, dear.
Aldaur
Fine.....I'll be Cleo :p I'm such an adulterous whore lol
Nuremgard
Can't I be the exotic Egyptian queen?
Aldaur
Nurem is Antony, Peng is Octavian/Augustus, and Banitia is Lepidus (sorry, Ban). And right now I'm Cicero, the elder statesman who is trying not to get killed during these power struggles.
Nuremgard, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
I'll gladly take Cato the Younger!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aldaur
And I shall be Hadrian!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aldaur, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
"Weak, indecisive, fickle, disloyal and incompetent". Cicero condemned Lepidus for "wickedness and sheer folly" after he allowed his forces to join with Mark Antony's after Antony's initial defeat at the Battle of Mutina. He also privately suggested that Lepidus' wife Junia was unfaithful to him. Decimus Brutus called him a "weathercock" and Velleius Paterculus called him "the most fickle of mankind", and incapable of command. According to Cassius Dio, while Mark Antony and Octavian were away from Rome fighting Brutus and Cassius, Lepidus was nominally in control of the city, but Mark Antony's wife Fulvia was the real power. Dio wrote that "She, the mother-in‑law of Octavian and wife of Antony, had no respect for Lepidus because of his slothfulness, and managed affairs herself, so that neither the senate nor the people transacted any business contrary to her pleasure."
Damn guys, I'm no fricken "weathercock" :p
I'm Greater Banitia. Period.

The Habsburgs really do remind me of the Targaryens. They're the most inbred royal family in Europe and looking at pictures of current members, many of them have bright blond hair as well.

I am genuinely frightened of warring with your nation, and also am frightened of you.
I tip my hat to you.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
At first I thought his nation was a joke-nation.
How wrong I was. This has become something far more serious.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Why? I'm not a mean engine, and Percyton is a really nice place.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I'd like to invest in your infrastructure and build some rail-....oh wait.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Actually, some help would be nice. Edward's branchline could use some fixing up, and we could also expand the Harwick branchline. Thank you!
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Don't be afraid of Percy; he's mostly a harmless and well-intentioned Cloudcuckoolander. Some of the other engines, though...
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
You can be Cleopatra. Boudica, if I'm feeling generous.
Aldaur
I'll only be Boudica if I get to go around Rome yelling "Boudi call!" :p
The scary part is, I don't know.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Deal!
Aldaur
Is it good or bad to be Augustus?
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Definitely good. At least it is in my opinion.
Jaslandia
I think I don't deserve this honor.
Aldaur
Why am I Augustus?
Aldaur
Peng says he doesnt deserve this. Augustus chooses to not call himself Rex.

You have the influence for the title. You're a fomer MoIA, you were a Premier candidate, you post the DIPs, etc. Plus, you sometimes have that same stoicism as Augustus.
That too; Augustus insisted on being called 'first citizen' instead.

Also, everyone, we have T minus just over seventy nine hours to prepare for Z-week.
I recommend closing our borders when it happens.
I'm certain me and some others can cure or kill them all.

Well, you see, I might go for either curing or simple murder.
Like, it depends on what another person does.
I am making a cure idk about you
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia
...I might.
You like weapons. You don't cure, you kill. :p
Kalaron
Nawh, Crown Prince Rudolph.
Jaslandia
Hey, what better cure is there?
Besides, Hot style Plasma will fvck up any damn germ.
Before the zombie apocalypse, everyone move to your own region by yourself. Cure yourself until you're clear and then help others. But isolate and cure yourself first.
I also intend to go with cure.
I can see it.

Eh, I'll be staying here and helping everyone I can along with whoever joins me.
I do reccomend that the Founder locks us down though,
Jaslandia
Aren't you one of the Council of Elders who collectively control our founder account?
Well, I could do it, but I don't like putting myself in the position to have such power.
Like, I could, but once you use power like that for something, you have to be a hell of a lot more careful about what you think and feel, so I have yet to even sign into it once.
I'm just keeping the password to refound if there is an emergency.

Zombies transfer between nations. No one will be infected if there is only one nation. It's easier to cure yourself then. I promise that if we all go with this plan, we will be completely successful. If we stay here, we're just going to be infecting each other, which makes it harder to cure, more people will die, our survival rate will be low and I just know that there is going to be one or two arseholes that embrace the zombies like every year.
I feel like the C should be "Confederate" because otherwise you have an acronym within an acronym, but I like this nonetheless
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Was never good with acronyms.
Guys. There is no need to move. The apocalypse will be over in 4 days after it commences, then everything will return to normal. So...who cares? lol
Au Minbo, Aldaur, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
And Poland and the Sudetenland oh and Austria
Zombie time makes people weird.
Aldaur
Damn it Nurem! We want to win!
So does Brexit. The UK (mostly England) has went mad.
That's it j am dropping the bombs in the zombie territory
We need to do a military and cure thing or seal tight and build up our forces
Take a breath, Mate.
We have until Monday, so we will be defended.
Aldaur
Um, can engines become zombies? Gordon says that's not possible, but I'm still worried.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica

Greater Banitia
Good question. I don't think that's possible, since zombies usually turn others into zombies by biting them and infecting their bloodstream and whatnot; trains don't have blood, nor any other biological parts that could make them susceptible to zombie bites. However, NationStates zombies may not be normal zombies, so who knows? But whatever happens, you'll be safe here Percy.

Y'know, they are still having pro and against Brexit debates and talks, like Hello, rest of England calling, the decision has been made, its done! we should be talking about exit methods, i swear it must be the air filled with their own flowery trumps that they enjoy smelling so much that breeds such arrogant, blinkerd twats.
Sorry, Percy. :(
Jaslandia
Post self-deleted by Greater Banitia.
Exit methods? The government has none. Mayhem and her bunch of bawbags haven't got a clue.
No, but they can still be swarmed and ripped apart, so if I were you, I'd still invest in our CFN Undead Resurrection Extermination Unit
(C.U.R.E Unit).
http://i1.wp.com/images.inpurespirit.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/zombie-engine.jpg
We don't want that happening! See if your engines can start hauling in mass cure missiles. Its better to be safe then sorry! :)
Jaslandia
Ok. I'll tell my Minister of Science and Technology Charlie Sand to begin researching cures as soon as possible, and I'll get as many engines as I can to haul the missiles.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica
Possibly.
I'd love to say that I designed the Plasma Shell for that, but, I didn't.
Instead, I'll focus on upsizing them for use against such trains, and make room for y'all to hide behind the front lines.
You'll be fine.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Percyton
Thanks, Kalaron. Me and the other engines will also try to help out as much as we can; if you need some extra transportation for C.U.R.E. missiles, let us know.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia
No prob.
That said, just stay behind the firing line, those missiles will take a little to build, so things are gonna be just a smidgen loud until the scientists are done.
Greater Banitia
Ok.

As far as I remember, you research the cure and then cure yourself.
oh no

Ikr, they are all so useless, then they have a go at Boris because he didnt have a plan, oh im sorry i didnt realise Brexit campaigners had have the plan, i thought it was the job of the freaking Government!
