So, rural communities are the source of corruption? Is NS trying to make a political statement, or is this just some weird algorithm thing?

It's NS. Of course it's the latter. Although apparently there were a lot of rotten boroughs in the countryside were only a few farmers were electing too many MPs.

Kinda' sucks though because I had intended farmers and rural residents to be part of the Nationalist base.

The Adrian Republic wrote:why are you all trains? was there some kind of terrible experiment gone wrong? like the horse people?

No, not like that. We're engines... well, because we just are. We were built as normal, non-sentient engines, then once we were all put together, we came alive. No one knows for sure why we come alive, but there are a few theories, which you can read about here:

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=percyton/detail=factbook/id=849882

Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine, Duke The Old Engine

Percyton wrote:If an engine expresses a wish to die (because an engine is alive but beyond repair after a crash, feels they are no longer useful, feels the have no other choice but to die, or any other reason), or if an engine is going to be scrapped soon, they are given a euthanasia agent called ‘blackwater’, with the method of administration depending on the vehicles (mixed with the engine’s coal for steam engines, mixed with petrol fuel for diesel engines and cars, and injected into the frame for rolling stock and other vehicles who don’t use a fuel). Once the blackwater takes effect, the engine goes into a permanent sleep; they can never be awakened, and they can never again be driven or controlled. Once the engine is in its permanent sleep, it is scrapped.

I appreciate you helping, Russ, but don't worry about it. We've been called 'trains' instead of 'engines' so many times, we've gotten used to it. We do usually correct people about it the first couple of times, but after that, I don't think correcting them will do much good.

Rheneas: Like the others said, don't worry about it, Russ. Like I told Duke a while back, if I had a nickel for every time someone called us a 'train' instead of an 'engine' or 'locomotive', I'd be a very rich 'train'!

'Train' is what you call an engine plus the cargo and rolling stock it's pulling or pushing; 'locomotive' or 'engine' is just the pulling or pushing vehicle by itself.

Reminds me of Peter Sam and Sir Handel, back when they were Stuart and Falcon of the Mid-Sodor Railway. They've matured some since them, but they still have quite a few moment of cheekiness. And as long as they're still Really Useful, a little teasing by young engines is to be expected. And for all my scolding of Peter Sam and Sir Handel, they're good engines, and they're like the grandsons I would have had if I were human. And I've known them for about 100 years now, so there's also that.

For the most part, no, but it depends on the action and the particular vehicle. In general, a sentient vehicle can at most jerk themselves backwards or forwards a few inches at a time, but only under either a very large amount of exertion, or during an intense emotion (such as fear or anger).

Oh. Sorry to hear that. I imagine it's scary for you and other humans because you're used to controlling yourselves. Us engines, however, have never completely controlled ourselves: what's described in the Factbook is all we've ever known. And besides, we can still control other functions of ourselves, like whistling and letting off steam. Like this:

*Percy wheeshes steam, but accidentally sprays Sir Topham Hatt*

Oops! Sorry, sir! At least that wasn't a new top hat, though! Wait, it was a new top hat? Oh...

So, I had an idea for what MSL (My Sh!t Lore) I would actually enjoy writing. I think that I'll make it so that Kalaron is the result of an attempted expansion into the solar system that resulted in disaster from an Earth war. Naturally, the resulting stories are more about various groups just trying to survive using whatever the colonies can. It lets me have an ice moon setting too so yay :>

In my national lore, I guess we'd be PMT but without the greater industrial strength of a world. The most advanced tech we'd have would probably either be the FTL-D (Old world missiles that can "travel" at the speed of light through the Alcubierre drive powered by the reaction of hydrogen fuel with a smaller Anti-hydrogen reserve propelled through an ion engine. ) or some weak gravity generators I might invent due to contrivance with bone strength.

We basically suffered an environmental collapse exacerbated by emergency exodus' and a spat of nuclear war. This has left our colonies basically at the edge of what they can maintain, and inter-colony conflict isn't unknown (full war isn't done, yet.)
