Nah. I'll be happy with Scotland being indy and in the EU away from the Tory voting scum down south.

Hello Capitalist Pigs the feeble ruler of Flynnvakia has been overthrown as replaced with me

Thought you were giggling at the prospect of us rebellious Jocks getting dragged down the Brexit gutter with you lot, Unf?
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yup.
They're having problems right now.

I'm pragmatic and 25% Scottish
I can live with Sturgeon if I get that glorious socialised education
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, please do that within the next 3 years.
But according to unionists it's the English that pay for our free uni education. Oh, however will we pay for our education system without the overflowing bounty of the English post-indy?
Oh, I know. With our own money. Like how it is now.
I think maybe the English are bitter that they once had a mighty glorious empire and now their country is going to the sh!tter so they long for any way possible to regain their former glory.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
That's basically it. There's no empire any more so many of them need to feel important and relevant. They couldn't dictate to the EU so they've thrown a tantrum and decided to leave to kickstart Empire 2.0 (their words for it, not mine, look it up.)

Greetings Fellow Socialist, I hope we as two separate nations are able to better unite under these new, albeit more favorable, conditions. If you ever wish to negotiate the formation of stronger ties, such as military and trade deals, joint scientific endeavors, or simply the opening of Embassies, consider this an ample and free opportunity to do so.
Now now, I don't believe you should be worrying so much about a new socialist across the seas, especially when you have a such a nice friend so close to home!

Donald: Amen tae 'at! Alba gu bràth!
Douglas: Still, I hope an independent Scottish government supports public transportation, particularly railways. I huvnae heard stoatin things about Network Rail from mah friends oan th' Mainland. An' dornt e'en get me started about British Rail! Damn ye, Dr. Beeching! Damn ye tae hell!
Donald: British Rail is dead, Dougie. Just let it go.
Douglas: *deep breath* I'm alright, I'm alright.

This is what Douglas is referring to, in case any of you are wondering.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeching_cuts
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Don't blame Beeching; Sodor was spared from most of the harmful effects of the Beeching axe. It was BR's Modernisation Plan that deserves our anger, because it was the Modernisation Plan that ended the use of steam in Britain. It was dieselisation and the end of the steam that drove many steam locomotives to flee to Sodor.

Oh, and if we do get around to doing a WWII-style RP, trust me Mag's, you'll be hearing a lot of the latter song >:)
Magnatronia
Oh dude, I actually plan to have my nation basically be yours' b!tch. I imagine early Magnatronia as the wild west. So imagine a bunch of miners, vagrants, and cowboys with revolvers and lever action rifles trying to organize to repel an entire empire. But that's where young Dr. Wily and Dr. Light come in!
Donald: Aye, an' that's a stoatin start!
Douglas: Let's hope th' Scottish government can keep it up after independence. We might hae our Drivers write tae Nicola Sturgeon tae remin' 'er.
Douglas: I suppose you're right, James, but what about our friends oan th' Mainland branch lines? Most of them werenae spared. Besides, it's easier tae be angry at a single person than at some plan.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
I personally felt they didn't deserve it as they're all Tory c*nts in the Borders but hey ho.
Jaslandia
At first I was wondering why I'd be invading, then it hit me, I'm not just hitting you, the entire east and west coasts, the largest seafaring military invasion in our Regions History! A War not just of resources, but of Grandeur and Ideology! I'd be the Germany of the Americas, only, I'm invading on two fronts instead of defending...Big difference. Aw man just thinking about it, indoctrinating conquered armies into my own, the farther I march, the farther I CAN march
Found my first easter egg! ayy lmao

Donald: We think a' fowk deserves rail access, be they Tory, Labour, or (god forbid) UKIP. Railways are what hae tied us aw together since th' mid-1800s.
Douglas: Of course, considerin' we're rail locomoti'es, we main be biased.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, James The Red Engine
Damn, now I gotta worry about you getting all power hungry. Let's just remember that I'm the superior life form here, k guys
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
Do us a favour and crash off the rails when you're carrying a bunch of blue voters.
Don't worry, that was me during my Imperial days, Back then, I was a near Autocratic nation socially indoctrinating it's people into a bloodthirsty, superiorist ideology; and now were pacifists.

I for one support our new Magnatronian overlords.

Douglas: We coods ne'er dae 'at. Crashes cause confusion an' delay.
Donald: Although, I will admit, I wasnae as cannie as I usually was back when I carried th' members of th' Percytonian Conservative Party tae their convention in Vicarstown.
Douglas: Donald!
Douglas: What? Naethin' happened, I just didne pay as much attention as I normally dae. Those Tories shoods be grateful th' mainline was less busy than usual 'at day.

Well, I don't really have an anthem, considering we're technically a company and not a 'country'. But I do have a song that I think fits the dystopian theme of Magnatronia! Hell, it's where I get most of my inspiration from. Read the lyrics.

I got lazy, so I just renamed La Marseillaise and used it as Jaslandia's national anthem.
https://youtu.be/4K1q9Ntcr5g
I'm glad Im a nation of humor, cuz thats honestly hilarious
Jaslandia
has anyone else ever wondered what like would be like if humans switched genders like frogs?
The irony of a monarchy using La Marseillaise as their national anthem.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia
They'd work out great for transgenders, but suck for those that like who they are lol
That is a bit ironic, now that a think about it. I guess I never thought of that when I chose it; I just went with the anthem I thought sounded the most fitting based on the instrumentals. I might have to rethink my national anthem choice now...
Nuremgard
we'd be better as a society? At least, the whole feminist LGBT, Trans, movement wouldn't be necessary

I love it actually. It's interesting to have a nation different from a lot of other countries. I think the Korean language gives your nation a strong foundation and immediately makes you stand out. I can't wait to see more of this

So, since another person just found out yesterday about me and Tim going steady -or rather, going out at all- I'm gonna ask one last time ;P
Anyone else?
It will, it's NS :3
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica

Not know.
Me and Tim are flirty as all heck on here and we go further into cutesy in the Discord, but some people had thought we were kidding for a long while as I had vigorously defended my heterosexuality before.
oh well i didnt know but first i need a primer on who tim is
Sulania, he's a really cool dude.
It's fine too, I was moreover talking about the people who've been here since before we said it months ago.

Flynnvakia and Ahgrabia, your numbers are still too big, but don't worry about that formula.
Unless of course y'all are ruthless military dictatorships. Then those numbers make tons of sense

I think that NS is vulnerable to a mass of Total War scenarios, and it's not impossible to see thirty percent being so jazzed by prowar efforts to actually try.
Again, our current system is perfectly fine.

Dark blue as the country's flag. Inside are pictures of scenery and wildlife of Yukona including beavers, orca whales, Banff in Alberta, the Rockies and so on. On the front is Confederation of Yukona in English and in a few Salish languages like Chinook. The coat of arms is displayed on the front in gold whereas inside the front cover is the Yukona flag and smaller below it the flags of the Native tribes of the country.

Alright. Perhaps if he put those people in reserves. I get...overzealous when it comes to infantry numbers
What if the gov of Flyn feels so under pressure due to them being surrounded by the Reich that made the 30% of the population an army. Like you can't dictate to different nations, how they're gonna run their own country.
Jaslandia
To a certain extent you can.
Avoiding LolArmies is important, same with avoiding Nuclear-Smorgasbords.
Aghrabia
I am not talking about extreme stuff, but if a country feels like they wanna set up regulations to increase their military, you or me can't say no to it. :P
But that's just it, 30% is pretty extreme.
Common sense rules is understandable and keeping our current system is highly advantageous compared to allowing people to do "X" because they don't consider it extreme.
