So.... uh..?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Quite well, there is too much opposition forces that are raiding our already collapsed nation, while the rebuilding is going on quite well must of the progress has been stopped. There is even fear in the army and the government members that we might soon fall to Democracy.
How is your state doing my equestrian friend?
EDIT:
Or in the worst case, we might embrace communism again.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri

The army is on the rise, our cities are nearing utopian status, and we are enjoying the best times since the end of the Second World War.

Good for you comrade.

It may sound like it, but do you know the history of his nation? And what might have caused This? His nation is a very unstable state when it comes to government.

Its not that unstable, only 5 civil wars in 8 months, 4 different governments, one of them being Nazbol, 2 suicides of our leaders, total destruction after the army of CONCORD bombed us to hell etc.

I dont know, maybe because we cant agree to who runs the things, or because we always turn to slavery and genocide of our people. Who knows?

Our story of how we became a dictatorship is because we had democracy which has failed us, now we are returning to democracy after fall of so many dictatorships. I dont think that we will last for long :p

Here and there. We are all strange in our own way. Just let me know of you need assistance. It's not like we are going to invade and occupy you until your government is stable.

I like your flag.
BTW, your nation and my fascist nation would be mortal enemies.

A new 'Spotlight On' Factbook has been posted! We did something a little different this time: this one is on the Tidmouth Bay and Arlesdale Tramway (TB&A), a railway which only existed between 1856 and 1862, but still had a huge impact on Sodor! Take a look!
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=percyton/detail=factbook/id=974211
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
For such a short-lived railway, it sure had a lot of stuff going on! Very interesting, Percy!
Also, I imagine this was the Tidmouth Bay and Arlesdale Tramway's reaction when the Arle Valley Railway arrived: https://youtu.be/iabC7-9YUG4
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Also, I'm glad to finally know where Lower Arlesburgh and Arlesdale End got their names. When I looked at the map of Sodor (https://i.imgur.com/y6wUwLS.jpg), I thought those names seemed a bit random, so it's cool to know there's actually a reason behind it.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Thank you, Jas! The Bureau of Historical Information did another great job!
Millie: And yes, in so many words, that video was basically the reaction many the TB&A had to the Arle Valley Railway. Me and my team read some letters written by TB&A executives around this time, and they definitely had a panicky and deeply concerned tone. After the new railway opened, the tone shifted to defeatist and gloomy, and it was only because the TB&A's chairman was a very smart fellow that the old tramway managed to last for four more years after the AVR's opening; if a lesser man was the tramway's chairman, I'd say the TB&A would have closed a year or sooner after the AVR's opening.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Interesting. I don't think I'd mind working at the Bureau of Historical Information if that's the kind of work I'd do all day.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Millie: And if you can, we certainly wouldn't mind having you!
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
So in other words if we become stable our great comrade of Russkov soviet will invade us? :p

The Issue
Horrifyingly, there continues to be whispered dissent against your glorious and righteous rule.
I have changed my ways to democracy and the first thing i get from NS is the 1984 event....... is NS trying to tell me something?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
I have question to all you British people:
I just watched a video on YouTube about the British motorway system. And sometimes the authority people used miles and other times they used kilometers for distances. So which do you British use more commonly? Or are they used interchangeably?
Thanks in advance. :)

Lavan Tiri
Stay innocent, child
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Percyton
Miles are used more often, KM are never used on roads - Ive only ever heard it for running Im running 3km today. Id have no idea what the speed or distance is if it was in metric
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Oh okay.

Well, I feel old now that I know Im older than Ed Sheeran. The saving grace here is that I at least dont look as though Ive just emerged after being baked into a freshly made casserole.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
So, do you look like you've just emerged after being baked into an old casserole, instead? jk
Penguania And Antarctica
Hahaha. Yes. Youd think it would be worse, but having let the casserole settle a bit allowed some of my features to soften a little.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Ah, so it aged like wine, eh? Oookay, then. If you say so...
Penguania And Antarctica
Precisely. Like a fine Argentinian malbec.
Ed Sheeran, on the other hand, is like a broken bottle of Yellow Tail on a student apartment floor.

Interesting.
Can anyone take this quiz?
http://gotoquiz.com/YRac8
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia, Cesorion
93% social democrat. 66% fascist...
Economically, fascists can be really similar to social democrats. That's why Stalin coined the term "social fascism" to describe social democracy.
Nuremgard
I do believe in a strong state so...
"Supreme Leader Nicola Sturgeon plans to send dissident journalists to well-maintained prisons."
Nuremgard
To undergo benevolent re-education.
It's like your ideal Scotland is a mixture of Singapore and Norway.
Nuremgard
A strong state to care for the people but you must do as you're bloody well told.
86% Social Liberal
85% Social Democrat
62% Left-Libertarian
50% Right-Libertarian
49% Christian Democrat
39% Marxist Communist
36% Anarchist Communist
26% Neoconservative
24% Paleoconservative
15% Fascist
Nuremgard
If you keep going down this path, you might become a fascist soon. A gay fascist.

I don't know. :/
Page does not exist.
It works for me. Did you use the full link, along with ".html"?
I did yeah. Got directed to a 404 page.
I don't know what's happening on your end, but it works just fine for me. What browser do you use?
Works for me too
They seem accurate, cause I got Right Libertarian
Nuremgard
Opera. Ah, it works. Fascism has always been homoerotic. The hypermasculinity, the uniforms, the militarism, the emphasis on brotherhood and unity, the desire for a national father figure like dictator.
Strange considering how Mussolini really loved women, especially if that woman was the Queen of Italy.
Nuremgard
I just think there's a lot of homoerotic undertones. Apparently gay sex was quite rife among the SS.
