I was going to ask if your country is in union with Kalaron but then as I was literally typing the question, I deleted it as I then remembered you two are together. And then it made sense in my head why your flag is like that.

Speaking of union, there was an RMB post or two about a ring a little while back...

Lol, if it makes you feel better, I'm content with setting the record at "due to the proximity of Sulania and Kalaron, as well as Sulania's often near immediate aid in the international arena when needed to put pressure on rouge and abhorrent states (Read: Lat), the two nations are extremely close in terms of relations".

I was gonna build it also with the Archon having what would essentially have been a puppy-dog level admiration of Katherine -Sulania's leader- but the RP ended before I could.

Fair enough on both counts. Nuremgard was briefly in a union with Belmora a couple of centuries ago.

What name should I choose for my confirmation name, I wish I could pick all)? These are the the ones I have so far:

John Paul II, he's the patron of young Catholics and his forgiveness and humility definitely makes an impact on me, I also love the Papacy. John Paul II is probably the one I feel the most connected to.

Francis of Assisi, he reformed the Church and brought it on the right path, he was also known for his vows of poverty and being extremely humble. He led the Church back to it's teachings. Also the name of the current Pope, whom I love.

Thomas Aquinas, like me, he was obsessed with apologetics and proving the existence of God and wrote numerous books on the subject. He's probably my favorite theologian.

Valentine of Rome, known for his love of humanity and integrity. He would marry Catholic couples secretly and was beheaded after trying to convert the Roman emperor. He was buried in Dublin, my home town.

Impatient? I do seem that way don't I? Hmmm..... I'm not impatient. I made the quip that we agreed on a hand over and was informing the new government on it. They asked for proof, hence my linking of the pages. Thanks to a crappy sleep schedule due to college, work, and military sh*t, I think I lost my sense of time. Forgive me if I seem impatient....in reality I'm probably tired, drunk, or at work trying to quickly respond. I'm doing my best to keep under control.

Frankly, I like to imagine that living in Kalaron is an exciting and dreary experience at the same time.

We make weapons, we sell weapons, we practically have our whole foreign affairs as a set way to build up trust in a nation so as to provide them with high quality weapons. Then we get focused on not dying and not being embargoed because Nation A wants to control our trade to a specific place on the world and Nation B is mad that we never sold them guns.

Nation B then gets counter-embargoed [B]by most of the known world[/B] while Nation A gets slapped in the face by us just using high capacity jets with aero-refueling to fly above them.

Seriously, we life in a world where Kalaronian's actively anticipate being embargoed for a silly reason because it's a bit more exciting than the usual gun-metal gray.

What happened to the union you and Bel had?

Nuremgard and Belmora have close geographical, ethnic and cultural ties. Back in the 1700s, the nobles of each realm wanted to join their nations in political union to get in on the great imperialist game their European rivals were playing. But the Tsar of Nuremgard at the time did not want a union. This was one of the contributing factors to his downfall. Once he was replaced by his more compliant brother, the union happened and Nuremgard-Belmora strutted the world stage for a while. But the union fell apart in the 1800s when a succession crisis struck and there was a civil war.

Huh, Kalaron Arms was established in 1823, so maybe we could write in a bit of lore for me selling arms to one of the noble houses?

Kalaron wrote:Huh, Kalaron Arms was established in 1823, so maybe we could write in a bit of lore for me selling arms to one of the noble houses?

Could be interesting. The union was in force by then but had been plagued by infighting and civil wars as the two ruling houses and their various factions squabbled for supremacy and fought over policies. So Kalaron Arms could have supplied weapons to one of the belligerents during one of the civil wars.

Tough luck since the union was between two monarchical nations. But Nuremgard was generally more liberal and democratically minded than Belmora.

Civil war? How awful! I've always considered your nation to be a good friend of Percyton, and I'd hate for our friendship to be interrupted because of a civil war. While Percyton is unable to support any particular side in this conflict, I hope it's resolved soon, and we'd be more than willing to provide humanitarian aid in the meantime!

Civil war? It's a good thing you sent us back our engines right before then. Speaking of which, I hope the engines we brought to life for you will be okay, and that the railways will be keep running as smoothly as possible. If there's anything we can do to protect the three engines you sent us, let us know; like Percy said, we can't directly support a particular side, but we sentient engines need to stick together, and I'm sure Gordon, Sir Topham Hatt, or Duck could pull some strings to make sure your three sentient engines are safe.

Speaking of which, I'm on the boat to Jaslandia with Stanley and Paxton right now, and since one of the engines being sent to Percyton is the ceremonial Royal Train locomotive of Jaslandia, I'm going to be her replacement while I'm in Jaslandia! In fact, my first job in Jaslandia will be taking Prince Regent Jason and his family to Southern Jaslandia! I suppose it's only fitting that a splendid red engine like myself gets to pull the Royal Train. Plus, now Gordon isn't the only engine on Sodor to pull a Royal Train!

Gordon: I still pulled the more important train! I carried in my coaches Queen Elizabeth herself, the head of state of not just the United Kingdom, but of the entire Commonwealth of nations. You're just pulling the prince; merely the King's brother. Talk to me when you're carrying the King of Jaslandia!

First off, I'm going to be in Jaslandia for a couple of weeks, so there's a good chance that I WILL pull the King of Jaslandia at some point. And besides, even if he's just a prince, at least Prince Jason has some actual power; Queen Elizabeth is just a rich figurehead, who spends most of her time in a fancy palace playing with her corgis. Prince Jason actually leads his nation and makes the hard choices; the hardest choice Queen Elizabeth has ever had to make is whether to wear the turquoise dress or the teal dress.

Besides, if you think Queen Elizabeth is just a "rich figurehead", then why did you want to pull her train when she came to Sodor in 1953, and then complain bitterly after first Henry, and then I were chosen to pull the train instead? You certainly weren't complaining about the Queen's lack of power then.

You're one to talk Gordon; you didn't like President Obama or his politics, but when he came to Sodor in 2010, you were pretty eager to pull his train. I was surprised you were so willing to give a tour of the Island to a man you once called an 'unabashed Marxist'.

Regarding the poll: I'm a paleolibertarian, so radically free market/laissez-faire on economic issues, largely non-interventionist on foreign policy, socially liberal on drugs and marriage and so forth, and conservative on illegal immigration, Islam and feminism. So I think that puts me in the right-wing category :)

Maybe people can't stay informed of government business now because newspapers are gone? And thus, your government decided to raise taxes while no one was watching.

I would definitely want to do that. I mean I kinda have to now since the one you and I wanted to do was canceled with the election of a new administration.

I disagree with Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military. They don't have to fund their treatment to let them in; this just seems to be discriminating against people because of who they are. 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was a failure, and this will be a failure too.
