Red like on my flag with the three headed crowned eagle on the front saying The Crowned Commonwealth of Nuremgard (in Norsk of course.) As for the inside, I'm not too sure. Probably pictures of famous monuments, environments and historical figures.

Thanks for the votes my dudes. I'll promise to do as well as I can - not going to lie, I'll need some time to settle in and get to grips with what I'm doing, but I'm sure Bear can help me along. Appreciate y'all, God bless.

Minor map updates. Gave Lat rest of Italy except South Tirol (Like originally intended), Poland got more land to be a better buffer state, and Denmark got a smaller 19.
Btw Latrovia that flag on the forums you have is awesome. If you added your African territories, it'd be perfect for your Commonwealth
Latrovia, Vista Major, Magnatronia
You know what, nevermind. You can do that. Reason I mention it is because I was about to put it down, and I didn't want it to look like I was taking your ideas or something

Sorry Charlie, but even with a perfect CRISPR process, with a 99.9999% success rate, that wouldn't due anything, because, sadly, a genetic modification, no matter what kind or how potent, only works on LIVING specimens...
Fungi on the other hand...but their not affected by any avian flue, you'd have to directly shift it's genome to cross the anima-anthropa disease barrier.....*Ahem* not that I would know that or anything of the sort....

Well, at least now I'm only 7th-most average. The last time the WA measured the most average nations, I was all the way up at 3rd-most average, which is completely absurd! I'm glad the WA is starting to come to its senses, and realize that I'm a truly extraordinary and splendid engine.

Don't be frightened, Andromitus; we don't bite. In fact, we're actually quite friendly (well, most of us anyway). Ask anyone else here, and they'll tell you that we're alright.

I wasn't afraid you'd bite, to be honest, Im not sure if you have mouths...you don't mind if I vivisect one of you right? Maybe perform a CT-scan? Or four...
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
Gah, I meant to nominate myself for Secretary of Health not Surgeon General, sorry
Penguania And Antarctica
I'd rather you not do that, but to answer your question, yes we do have mouths. And if you really want to see what's inside us, it's the same as a non-living steam locomotive: we don't have organs, muscles, or anything like that. We have some saliva and blood (though we can't bleed), though even I have no idea where it comes from.

We've been here for ages now, and you're just NOW noticing? Where have you been?

Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
How should I know? Ask Victor at the Steamworks. All I know is that we must have blood, because we engines blush when embarrassed or pulling a heavy load.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Donald: Aye, what's aw th' hubbub? Someone surprised tae see talkin' locomoti'es?

Hmm...Chromatophores? Lights? OH I KNOW! Heat vents! You "blush" when pulling a heavy load cuz of the intense expenditure of energy, and when embarrassed, your brains...do you even, I don't wanna know...as your brain races to figure out your next action, you must have a HUGE heat buildup, which is released through your cheeks and oh GOD I'm tired, Fµck school I wanna die!
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
Donald: I think ye be overthinkin' it. Half of this stuff is just weird Sodor magic, sae tryin' tae find a scientific explanation fur aw of it is just gonnae drive ye loony.
Douglas: Believe me, you're nae th' first person tae try. Better men than ye hae tried tae figure it aw it an' got nowhaur.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
If engines could shrug, then I'd be doing that right now. Like Donald and Douglas said, a lot of this is just a byproduct of the hidden magic of the Island of Sodor, so trying to find a logical explanation for it is going to drive you bonkers.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Still, you might be on to something. I'll relay your message to the Percytonian Science Ministry and see what they can come up with.

OH GOD NO, don't tell me your going the route of Magnatronia, the last thing I need is TWO Magnatronia's!
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Freewire, Magnatronia
No, but a common misconception, the Borg, at least early versions, are known as a "Hive Mind", and later adaptations were an "Over Mind"; Instead, we are trying to replicate and build a successful "Group Mind": essentially a a hypothetical psychic, or in this case digital, unity or collective consciousness of a group of individuals.
Instead of one single mind shared over multiple bodies, or controlling multiple bodies, we are a collection of minds sharing a digital space; essentially, all the good things of a Hive/Over-Mind, but still allowing us to maintain our individualism. Yes, as of now, its only a Digital Construct, but later in the future? I think it'll be a bit more personal...

Didn't want to say it, but he was one of the core members.
Magnatronia
Yeah, now I remember him and Aech
Kalaron
Aw well. I understand
I think that's fine
Jaslandia, Maurician
Also are you going to add Daniel's claim to the UK?
Daniel isn't a citizen if I remember correctly.
As far as I am concerned, he is an active nation. There is no law that states that only "WA nations" will be on the map.
Funny enough, there's also not one saying that the nation had to be inside of our region to take part in the map, yet you disagree with that.
It's Bax's choice, but frankly I consider it a ridiculous idea to add onto the military one nation (for the sake of argument, that's how I refer to you and your little empire deal) if we won't even verify that this isn't just an alt-account.
Like, I'm fine with the Reich because, hey, it's all well established RPers who I know aren't the same person -I mean, that's one of the advantages of WA, after all- and I know it isn't just Baxten calling the shots.
Aghrabia, Magnatronia
I think it's time that the gov takes care of the map, so you won't be jumping in as a shiny knight. And no worries, both Helen and my brother will be having their WA up really soon :)
Also, I never got his claim....
He told me on Discord that he would contact you. Let me text him.
Maybe he got with me on Discord. I haven't been on in a while, so I'd understand.
Damien*
I always mistake his name. xP
Nice, I thought that name-calling was over when we all clearly identified that Trolls and people who've lost the case were the ones who used it...but I guess not.
I'd write a counter to your point if it even said anything more than "You're a white knight!", but I can only deal with reality, so *shrug*.
I'm glad that they're getting their WA, it only takes a button click or two after all.
While your commitment is definitely good, I don't know if your brother getting WA is a good idea. The mods may come in and ban you. Unless y'all live in different houses
That's not how WA works.
The mods, in their own words use more than just IP to find it, so it's more or less fine to have two in the same house, just not on the same computer.
"Sharing a network or IP address is usually fine. The game does not rely on any single method of identifying WA cheats, but combines data from many different methods to calculate the likelihood that multiple WA nations are operated by the same person."
Well, currently we are in the same house until I leave back for Tirana. I am only here due to my health conditions being terrible. If I am not mistaken Peng said something like if you don't log in in the same devices it's okay. So I am waiting to leave the house go back to my devices in Tirana and have him log in from these devices that I am currently using.
I was never there when you made any sort of clarification. Have a nice day Kaluu
You don't have to live in different houses, I did it with my brother when he played. You can't use the same computer though or phone.
Kalaron

This attack in London is super, super scary. It's alright to sit in your armchair and say this and that, but when you have friends who are in the lockdown - when you directly recognise the places where people are being treated for stab/crash wounds. It's just heartbreaking. Seeing the police officers shout "you lot, get into cover now" as people sprint down the street, confused. It hits home because it is home. Let us all wish good health to those attempting recovery, and send our hearts to the grieving families. Daily reminder to any terrorist organisation, from ISIS to the IRA, blowing up kids and crashing cars into crowds isn't going to make you any less of a bunch of c*nts.
Ludania, Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Latrovia, Baxten, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
I felt the same way when the bin lorry crashed in George Square in Glasgow. Not entirely the same because that wasn't a terrorist attack but I know what you mean about it being scary because it's home.
My thoughts and sympathies are with the victims and their poor families. Our democracy will not be undermined by terrorist scum.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
Somebody I knew was killed by a drunk driver in New York driving a bin lorry. I always remember him ruffling my hair when I was a youngin'. Bless his heart.
