I'm going to a play soon, gg.

Plays are awesome
Penguania And Antarctica
I'm going to go see, "A Christmas Carol." Good movie and book, let's see the play :D
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
The original book is awesome. It's actually quite freaky. There's a part when the author is describing how a spirit is kind of sneaking up on Scrooge, and he describes the spirit as being as close to Scrooge as he (the author) is to the reader's elbow as he/she reads the book.
Also, Bob Marley is terrifying.

Aldaur has a great economy, a populist government, the lowest political apathy, a stunning environment, a strong military, is very devout and conservative, scientifically advanced, a rather intelligent population, low taxes, plenty of government and state-owned industries, corruption is under control, crime is non-existent and I have an authoritarian leader. This must be a golden age for Aldaur :D

So, it wasn't a movie
It was an interview and a conversation on racism

Hey guys.
Soon I will release my campaign's plan and the policies I want to implement in the region after consulting the people of CFN.
My philosophy is simple. Let the people speak and open you ears widely. Keep notes and learn by the past mistakes while forging a strong and standing future.
I can promise that my policies not only will help and develop the region, but they will (in time) make us one of the biggest regions in NS.
I promise that I will give my 1000% to this region and I am welcoming any supporters, free thinkers and skepticals to consult with me.
Yours truly,
Latrovia

"I propose a third way: bring back trial by ordeal! Let the accused wrestle with a Cardinal, and if they win they didnt do it and get to go free."
And suddenly, there's no such thing as being found guilty in the Continental Commonwealth's court system. All those poor cardinals.

Is it the bird cardinal, the Catholic cardinal, or the Arizona Cardinals (American) football team? Because the first one is just sad for the bird, the second could be a good comedy event, and the third could be a legitimate trial-by-ordeal.

Seriously, I am in need of a second lower court Judge. I have Vista, and while I have full confidence in his abilities, should some judging need done, I would like to be able to have an alternate in the event that one is needed.
The Judiciary is not for everyone. We tend to have long weeks, months, and sometimes very close to full years, where the Judiciary is not needed. Where we all basically just sit around, and twiddle our thumbs. If you take the job, there is a good chance you might not ever be called to actually perform it, but you always have to be ready to.
So if this has not persuaded you, and you feel like you might want to be a Judge, send me a Telegram, let me know why you think you would be a good Judge...etc...etc. I will review your request, and get back to you.

My economy plunged 50 trillion Credits....making my country 0.057% poorer. In English, that means that people in my nation were 0.000000002302% closer to ending up on the street then normal. It marked Greater Banitia's worst recession in history.
*Gasps around the room. Someone starts crying*
Well folks, we have finally recovered to pre depression economic levels! Now, not only will I never consider cutting taxes for my population again, but I have now abolished all national holidays! Come on people, we've got a lot of lost economic ground to cover! Move Move Move!

Thomas wanted me to post this statement.
"The Bureau of Historical Information, a joint project between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, is announcing the impending release of a series of volumes on Percyton's historical development. These historical volumes will aim to provide an overview of the history of Percyton and the Island of Sodor for readers all over the world, and provide insight into the origin of Percyton's society, politics, and culture.
The forthcoming volumes will be informative and useful, but they will not cover every aspect of Percyton; for that, readers must consult other sources. The Bureau's volumes will inevitably be quite broad, but we hope they will be able to give readers a sufficent understand of Percyton's history so that they can understand how Percyton arrived at its present state. The Bureau hopes the historical volumes will only be the begining of the organization's mission, and would like to to eventually release information on Percyton's culture, society, and values.
These texts will be released as soon as possible, and we hope they will give an illuminating picture of Percyton to those who cannot experience it first-hand. Feel free to contact the Bureau of Historical Information if you have any questions or feedback.
We at the Bureau of Historical Information appreciate your time, and may you all be Really Useful Engines!
Signed,
Millie the French Engine, Director of the Bureau of Historical Information
Emma Kyndley, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Historical Information"
