If I met a nice, good looking guy on a date and he told me he was "centre-right" I dunno what I'd do lol

Nah, I'd probably have fun debating with him then have angry sex later.

Greece is going through a bad time but I think failed state is an exaggeration. A failed state is something like Somalia or Sudan.

Jeremy Corbyn has been criticised for not mentioning the Jews in his Holocaust Memorial Day message, instead saying the "millions who died should never be forgotten."

Had he only mentioned Jews, no doubt he'd have been criticised for not mentioning other victims of Nazi horror.

Anything to smear the guy. Why does he specifically need to mention the Jews? They were the biggest group who died in the Holocaust, yes, but does that mean their lives matter more? Do they have special victim status or something? The "millions who died" surely includes the Jews.

I don’t think it’s so much that their lives matter more as it is that we view larger losses of life more tragic than smaller losses of life. Which is why it’s more of a tragedy when a commercial aircraft carrying hundreds goes down compared to a two-seater plane crashing.

That being said, that’s the only thing I disagree with you on. Even speaking as a Jew, “millions who died” seems to cover the extent of the loss that took place. Yes, Holocaust is specifically the term used to describe the attempt at mass extinction of the Jewish people, but as it happened alongside the mass killings of the mentally disabled, homosexuals, Roma peoples, and so many others, it seems entirely appropriate to me to speak of the Holocaust in terms of the mass murdering that was taking place writ large. To name groups specifically runs the risk of excluding one or more affected groups.

Thank you, Percy! And Bill and Ben working on the branch line? That should be interesting, since those twins are full of pranks and mischief. By the way, how do Bill and Ben get along with Thomas? Because I know they've had a somewhat-strained relationship in the past.

Thomas sometimes gets annoyed with the twins' trouble-making, but otherwise, the three actually get along pretty well. Bill and Ben's initial pact in 1989 not to tease Thomas anymore didn't last long, but they reconciled after Bill and Ben saved Thomas from a landslide at the Clay Pits in 2013. The same can't be said for the other engines, though; when the twins are working outside the Clay Pits, the big engines like Gordon, Henry, and James are the most common target of Bill and Ben's teases and pranks, so the big engines (particularly Gordon) don't like Bill and Ben much.

Actually, now that I think about it, some of the big engines actually do like Bill and Ben. Hank, for example, is a common target of Bill and Ben's mischief, but Hank has a higher tolerance for their mischief than most engines, so he usually laughs along with them, and the three of them get along very well. Greg (formerly known as 'the Works Diesel') and Rebecca also get along fairly well with Bill and Ben, though even they sometimes lose their patience with the Clay Pits twins.

Two state visits at once!?! That seems like a lot to manage, but I'm sure my team can do it! Premier Coltsov is free to come to come to Percyton! However, Gordon would like me to ask you that if you do come, it would be easier if you come on the second day of Prime Minister Kirkman's visit (Kirkman will be visiting Percyton for 2 or 3 days), that way we don't have to welcome two foreign leaders at the same time. And you're certainly free to visit Jerry, meet with Mr. Kirkman, and visit FOB Pegasus. I'll even have my Defense Minister Neville give you a tour of the under-construction base!

Prince Jason would meet with you in Percyton or Russkov Soviet, but he's tied up at home at the moment due to the situation in al-Qarn. Plus, Prime Minister Kirkman has already come under fire for visiting Percyton during the war in al-Qarn, as mentioned in my recent news article, and the Prime Minister traditionally doesn't even have much of a role in foreign and defense policy. Imagine the political outcry if Prince Jason, who actually does have control over foreign and defense, were to leave the country now!

I finally bring back democratic elections and ban sortition in New Salvatore but at the same time, I bring in devolution. I want this government to be unitary and centralised. Now it's time to work on cancelling the devolution policy!

I based New Salvatore on Spain but modern Spain is very decentralised (excluding the current Catalan situation.) But I think it would make more sense for the ruling Nationalists to be unitary. What do you think?

You might be able to justify an exception, but generally speaking, Nationalists (assuming 'Nationalist' in this case means 'supporter of nationalism'), are in favor of unitary government, since the leaders can exercise more power that way (some flavors of nationalism lean toward fascism), and nationalists generally like strong and united nations are opposed to more decentralized and ineffective ones.

That's what I was thinking. The Nationalists are literally the Fascist Party rebranded. So I think they would not lose their penchant for strong, united, centralised government. They don't want to encourage regions to break away from the state.

Main aspects of the Salvatorian Nationalist Party: strong central government, staunch royalism (in the sense they believe the King should have some executive power or at least share power with Parliament), autarky, imperialism, Catholicism and patriarchy (they are against giving women the vote) and they believe in what they call "conservative paternalism." This is basically providing social security and other public benefits to prevent the working class turning to the Socialists.

They are generally pro-business but are protectionist and will regulate excessive activities by corporations for the good of the state. And I plan to have them improve the country's collapsing environment.

Not sure if New Salvatore has oil, but if it does, the oil industry is usually one of the first industries to be nationalized (not counting public goods like transportation, utilities, water, etc.), presumably because there's a ton of money to be made in oil. Barring that, nationalize the largest industry of New Salvatore's economy and go from there.

It's biggest is retail, then arms manufacturing, IT and book publishing (ironic that a formerly fascist state should have an extensive book publishing industry.)

Nationalizing retail seems like to much of a hassle, so I'd go with either arms manufacturing or book publishing (the latter could be used for propaganda, like Span said).

As for a pre-title, maybe something with 'Holy'? Like 'People's Holy Kingdom', or 'The Holy People's Kingdom'? Or, perhaps just removed the 'people's' part altogether (since theocratic nations usually aren't big fans of democracy, as they believe the rule of God makes rule by the people unnecessary).

New Salvatore has a new Caudillo and a new King. Both are young, both help represent the new era beginning in the country's history. But they're already at a crossroads. The new King is a lot more liberal than his dad and he holds some views which horrify the Nationalists.

I remember in my Scotland, the government caved into anarchist demands and basically decimated the entire government budget. This brought employment up fantastically.

The King is going to butt heads a lot with his Caudillo but he is young, handsome and progressive so he is very popular with young people and leftists. More conservative elements of the country are ambiguous about his reign despite most of the country being staunchly monarchist. There are even rumours that the King is an atheist.
