Also, I am not plump premier.

Just filled out a survey sent by the Scottish Government asking what issues are most important to me and what party I most identify with. It also asked if Scotland should be independent.
A big fat YES from me!

Hi! I am Josuen, I want to RP Korea because I want to restore the Korean Kingdom.
Penguania And Antarctica
Thank you. Unfortunately, I cannot become a citizen here because I cannot become WA because I am not allowed to have an email address.
Penguania And Antarctica
Good for you, Korea has been restored. However, if you want to RP communist rebels in your nation, that'd be cool. You'd become a sort of shatterbelt for the region, so that'd lead to some very interesting scenarios
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mononoke San, Josuen
I love the new buttons. ^_^

Yeah I kinda like them too as well. :)

Bloody traitors to the United Kingdom... *mutters something about ungrateful Scots*
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Yukona
Hey Nurem. Hypothetical, but if Scotland became independent from Ludania (somehow), would you RP more?
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
So I have been ill. I am pretty ok now.
I am sure I missed quite a bit. So...sup?
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Hi.
Traitor implies betrayal of one's nation. The United Kingdom is not my nation. ;)
Since when was Scotland part of Ludania? lol
Aghrabia
I meant in our RP world. Lol
The Acts of Union state otherwise.
Hey.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Ah, so in your RP world, my glorious Scottish kingdom is subject to Ludanian imperialism? And you did not consult me on this? Knaves!
But that depends. If I did RP, would I need to use Scotland or would I be permitted to use my GoT nation of Valyria?
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
The Acts of Union united the two kingdoms of Scotland and England into one state, that of Great Britain. It did not abolish either kingdom nor did it assimilate one into the other. Our two nations are (supposedly) equals in the Union, distinct and separate, unified by a common parliament and monarch. Scotland is my nation. My loyalty is to it. I have never felt British nor do I bear any love or loyalty to the British state.
Saor Alba.
Aghrabia, Yukona
Scratch that. Scotland and England remain different countries but are currently one kingdom.

Welcome to our region, Oghuzs! My name is Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you enjoy your time here!
Also, do you like trains?
I was named the State of Percyton, and Percyton was named after Robert Percy, the writer whose version of The Communist Manifesto inspired the Engine Revolution of 1920. Apparently, 'Percy' originally came from the name of a village in France.

Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
"honouring God", "in God's honour", or "honored by God" is what mine means.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Sorry. I misread what he wrote as "leader." I'm partially sighted.
Ironic.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Jason and the Argonauts popularized the name originally, but that wasn't who I was named after. I'm named after a character on the soap opera General Hospital, which my mom watches.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Morgan_(General_Hospital)
However, that hasn't stopped a few people from making 'Jason and the Argonauts' jokes about my name, which I don't mind.
1. Yes, that's what I said.
2. Fitting, considering the monarchical nations you have on NS.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
My name comes from a variation of Jacob, and Jacob means either "to follow, to be behind," or "heel." Perhaps not the most fitting name: My paint color is too distinctive for me to be a pure follower, and since I'm an engine, I don't have a heel.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
As I said. Misread what you wrote.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Donald: Mah name means 'world-ruler', or 'world-wielder' in Proto-Celtic.
Douglas: An' mah name is derived from Gaelic, an' roughly means 'black stream'.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
My name means 'reborn one', 'the reborn', 'reincarnated'. Something like that. :)

Great video on economics explained in a simple way! Definitely recommend watching for a rudimentary understanding of economics!
Also, there needs to be a law created that limits borrowing, both on an individual basis and on a collective basis (governments and businesses), to only investment. If you're borrowing money that won't go towards increases productivity in some way, then you can't borrow. If you want money to buy a tractor to harvest crops easier, to get an education for a better job, to hire more workers or to invest in infrastructure, that is fine and worthy of borrowing for. Everything else is really just unacceptable.
We also need to begin tackling our debt before it gets too big. We are in danger of losing our credit worthy status, causing an economic collapse and it is also a barrier to true liberty. Fiscal responsibility used to be a virtue in America, and it is time that was true again.

Hate to burst your bubble kiddo, but our debt is already too big. Trillions of dollars owed mostly to the Chinese for cheap products. As for borrowing money, I agree mostly, but at the same time people need loans to buy houses, but that does not increase productivity. There's ups and downs to both sides of it.
Not to mention that we are somehow in debt to ourselves, which i'm losing my mind trying to figure out that pseudo-paradox.
2017 is the funtional year, we're MT/Slight-PMT
Least the Chinese cant really afford to lose us.
Same with my name, though I gotta say that I prefer the transitive definition of "Supplant"
