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.

Yet this old c*nt is 19 points ahead in the polls? Are the English stupid or just arseholes? Why does your country love the Tories so much?

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

What about yours?

Unless of course y'all are ruthless military dictatorships. Then those numbers make tons of sense

I am a ruthless military dictatorship, though. It says in my app.

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.

To a certain extent you can.

Avoiding LolArmies is important, same with avoiding Nuclear-Smorgasbords.

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.
