Well then why has it increased? Of course you can bring in endowment theory but you have media which is pretty important...

Seems like a lot of work to make a new flag for each province, especially if that new flag may or may not be used. But, if you have the time, then go for it.

I admire your determination. My ten Commonwealths' flags are pretty standard. They all have the nation's flag in the left corner like an ensign, the rest of the field is plain red (the same as the cardinal), and then in blue (same as the field of the nation's flag) there is a figure of symbolic importance to that Commonwealth.

Newasher's capital, for instance, is located on a prominent bay region. Their flag symbol is therefore a simple lighthouse.

I've got a shítey cellular connection and no wifi at the house I'm staying at so I'll keep Katerina's response short and straight to the point:

"Sensibility flew out the diplomatic window when the Vistonian government turned their military against their own people to hunt them down based on their political beliefs. Therefore, I will not be participating in any talks with neither the tyrannical government in Scandinavia nor your own tyranny condoning government until the abuses of human rights end.

A true socialist does not condone tyranny, especially when the reasoning behind it is inherently selfish and greedy. That is more in line with liberal thought, and I would have expected more to come from a nation like yours." -Katerina Spelma

From an Iraqi perspective, that imperial glory is British troops waking up Iraqi MEPs, forcing them to vote in favor of the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty after such a long period of debate. That treaty allowed the Brits to base their military in Iraq long after its independence. That provision was used to justify the occupation of Iraq for 6 years from 1941 to 1947. Yay! Oppressing the Colonials is so glorious!

Interesting. The train equivalent of 'retirement' would be working on a heritage railway or becoming a museum piece, and we're usually not paid for that. Still, we don't mind that at all; retirement is its own reward.

We actually have quite a few diesel engines on Sodor, although most of them are older designs. The primary rail power of Sodor will always be steam, however.

A tunnel? That's going to be a pretty long tunnel, since you're in East Africa and I'm on the Island of Sodor, but I think we can make it work.

And I have a question about your nation: Is your nation really a horse-based one? And if it is, are humans the only species living there, or do humans like in Russkov Soviet too?

While the majority of our population is anthropomorphic equines, we do have humans living in our nation. Most of the humans are refugees. Our genetics have begun to create centaurs and equitaurs. They only make up 3% of the population at the moment. In a year, we will be 70% Equestrian, 20% Human, and 10% Half-Bred.

I see. Interesting. If any sentient rail locomotives came to Russkov Soviet, would you accept them as citizens? What about visas or work permits?

Of course. We'd love to have citizens from such an esteemed nation. Our railway stretches quite far, so work won't be an issue. Although...pay may be a slight issue. I'll have to figure out the exchange rate between our currencies, then work on a pay rate.

That's good to hear. If you're open to it, Percyton often does engine exchange programs: You send us one or two of your engines for a few months, and we'll send you an equivalent number of engines for a few months. If you want us to bring your engines alive, we can do that too while they're on Sodor.

That's very kind of you. There are a few engines who are baseball fans, so they might be able to make it.

The Stalliongrad Colts rule the National League, while the opposing Kiev Thunder rule the Regional League. The Colts hold a lifetime 120-95 win/loss record versus the Thunder overall. Out of the 40 Red Classics (World Series) these two have faced in...the Colts lead 22-18.

Colts are based in the capital, Stalliongrad.

Thunder is named after Kiev of course.

Also, what's the difference between the National League and Regional League? Are they like the NFL and the AFL, where they work almost the same way, and compete in one big game (Super Bowl) at the end of the season.

Bit conflicted on some issues:

1. Got an honor killing issue... despite being a Muslim-majority theocratic empire (albeit liberal) and deciding on stricter immigration standards or accepting them with the civil rights option.

2. Taxpayers on strike - debating on going with a stronger Revenue Bureau or with some military, civil, or body service (pint of blood or an organ for tax forgiveness)

Also, apparently sending the gendarmes after invasive species actually increases the environment, even with full eradication and disregard for other species.

1. I personally choose the option to persecute the honor killers. But I'm a socialist Scandinavian democracy.

2. Always go with the government if you care about public services. Slashing taxes could mean doom for education, health, welfare, transportation, HDI, etc.

3. I don't think it makes a huge difference which invasive species option you choose. I usually bring in the predators or leave them alone

If the liberal culture or attitude prevails within the government then punish honour killings. If those who run the state are more conservative then allow honour killings. And the imperial treasury should be strong in collecting taxation. No subject of the Sultan should escape fulfilling this basic duty to their Sovereign.

The decision to go with prosecution came by stricter immigration status, dropping civil rights further and flying in the face of the Caliphate's guarantees and liberal attitude. Going with a stronger Revenue Bureau, however, didn't cause any negative side effects (pertaining to the state)

It is extremely hard to tune a nation to how it should be.

You can always improve civil rights later. I think a temporary drop in civil rights is worth it for prosecuting something as barbaric as honour killing.

I also, for all the criticism it received from my generation, thoroughly enjoyed the first live action Scooby Doo movie.

To this day, I laugh an embarassing amount at the scene when they're on the plane and Fred informs Daphne (I believe it was Daphne) that the best way to correct a dog's behaviour is to flick it on the nose.

And then he does just that.

And Scooby decks Fred right in the face.

I like the first two Scooby Doo live action movies. However, I didn't like the third and fourth ones: I could never get over the idea of a brunette Fred instead of a blonde one, and the third and fourth ones didn't have that classic Scooby Doo 'feel' for me.
