Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
We need to step in to stop this genocide!
Penguania And Antarctica
Well, it is a bit of a buzzkill on RPs after all.
Oelesa
I said no such thing. We plan to assassinate Jar Jar Binks the leader of the Gungans. We did it the the Viceroy of the Trade Federation. And the only racist here is Donald Trump.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah. That whole MAD thing.
I agree with his move, don't get me wrong.
The violence against the oppressed Gungans must be ended now. Down with the humans of Naboo! GLM!
Also, the Trade Federation, eh? Maybe we are more similar than you think.
Aldaur, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
We just want them to move from the city or apologize for the crimes they commited.
Aldaur, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
*committed
Aldaur, Oelesa
Oh, now it's segregation. Look, not all the Gungans are rapist and murderers, OK. We don't need walls, we need bridges.
Aldaur, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Boom
Baxten
That, and how every subsequent post is either playing the Nuker's nation or is about how defenses shoot down all missiles.
Because that will calm things down, like all attempts at leader's lives. :P
Aldaur, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I am not like Donald Trump. Jar Jar Binks is the Gungan Donald Trump. The Gungan soldiers committed something like the Rape of Nanking. We want them apologize. WIR SIND DAS VOLK!
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
But that doesn't constitute the segregation of all Gungans. Did the Gungan children participate in these heinous war crimes? You're right to punish the soldiers, but don't punish all of them.
I like how we're calling talking about real world politics in the context of Gungans. It's great.
Aldaur, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I am not segregating. The Gungans only took the outskirts of the city.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh so it's like an occupation. In that case...

The Rape of Nanking is nothing something to joke around about. Those Wookies did horrible things to the Ewoks. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
*Wookie delivers long growl followed by a shorter one coupled with a series of ranging growls*
You can guess what I said :p
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
What's that Chewie? You're not ashamed of what your people did? What's that? You think Ewoks are sub-wookie and deserve to be erased from the gene pool? Oh Chewie! *Shrugs shoulders, smiles and laughs*

Howdy fellas.
I am having such an awesome time in rl. Will be on TV soon to talk about the necessity of blood donation in Albania.
Also will be traveling to Germany soon.
I would like to make known that the second administration as you can see, is working pretty hard for the citizenry.
I hope that we receive as many ambassador application as we can, as it is urgent that we deploy our diplomatic corp to our partner regions.
Also feel free to contact me in taking part in our negotiations as it can be a valuable experience for the future of our Foreign Affairs.
To close this up, my office is open to answer to all of your concerns and hear out all your thoughts and ideas. There's only one way that this region can unite and progress be achieved. And that is if we all work together. :)
With best regards, your friendly neighbor
Spid...Erm, the President.

And for that, Naresuan got a unique unit named after him in Civ 5.
Well, technically he crowned himself 'King in Prussia'. 'King of Prussia' would have implied domination over the entire region of Prussia, which Poland didn't like because, as anyone who played Empire: Total War knows, part of Prussia was in Poland in the early 1700s. Once Prussia gained more victories, and annexed the Polish parts of Prussia in the First Partition of Poland, King Frederick II (Frederick the Great) raised his title to 'King of Prussia'.

Reports of attacks by bright purple sixty-foot high spiders have recently shot up.
So this is what happens when a corporate entity asks to imbue drugs into soda and full legalization occurs instead.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Freewire, Magnatronia
I'm so proud
Jaslandia, Minnesota Dakota, Pirate Kingdoms
Huh. So after drug-taking increased in Nuremgard, cheerfulness went from the top 2% to the top 1%. Makes sense.
Penguania And Antarctica, Minnesota Dakota
I have really recreational drug use.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica

Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Used to.
Nuremgard
I have really high use because drugs are legal.

There are reports of pedophilia. Also is it true that there are US troops in Europe, close to Russia?
Marines are in Norway, but I haven't heard much else
Also I heard something about a Trump assassination attempt by CIA? Or is this plotted?
The United Providences Of Perland
Poland IIRC.
But there are US bases all over Europe.
What? Reports of pedophilia? Sure man toplel
I am not at all a Democrat and I still think that Papa Joe is the coolest guy ever.

Idk people have been texting me all of these and I am kinda "what the heck?"
That's why I am asking for any actual clarification. :P
Alex Jones, a loony conspiracy and Trump fan, has been spreading assassination rumors. Other far-right-wing figures have been spreading similar (unsubstantiated) rumors.

We've had troops close to the Russians since they took South Berlin and bases since the moment after :P
Besides, we won't go to war with Russia without a pressing need on the scale of WW2's and we'll likely only go in if we are absolutely certain that we would have a decisive victory.

Lat, seemingly all US politicians have reports of pedophilia. That's not a joke, either.

Are you reading breitbart or what, because this sounds like conspiricy
Jaslandia
There are paedophile rings in all elite circles in all countries.
Not saying you're wrong, but if all the accusations are true, then our government should just be abolished because it'd be a ton of felons running the show.
I can't speak for Nurem, but I don't believe the whole 'pizzagate' allegations. As for other pedophilia allegations, I would rather take them on a case-by-case basis, instead of denouncing the whole government as pedophiles without solid proof.
Continental Commonwealths
Felons have been running governments for time immemorial.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Long
Not really. You can't generalize all the government as corrupt or all English as unionist, y'know. There's always exceptions, with some situations having more than others.
Jaslandia
I have a cynical view of humanity and government. Especially since the child abuse dossier about suspected paedophiles in the Westminster Parliament went "missing."
You do make a valid point, and I'm almost certain there are some messed up politicians who abuse their power to commit these acts, but it's definitely not most of them. At least I hope it's not.
That's what is scary. If it is indeed most of them, what can we do? Revolution? Aye right. What's worse is that even if it is not most of them, the paedophiles are the ones who are truly high up and covering it up. Ministers, heads of state and government, judges, police chiefs etc.

Inauguration on Friday. Are our American residents here excited for the Orange Emperor acceding to the throne?

Not really. I just hope no one shoots him; then we get Pence.

Aaaand with that the NSA, CIA, FBI, and- for whatever reason- the DEA have all opened a file on you.

Prime Minister Trudeau Sr. once said that living next to the US is like sleeping with an elephant. Now it's like sleeping next to a crack addict who owns a plethora of firearms that he stores under his bed and who screams random threats and the word "Sad!" all throughout the night.

Dude. Most of America probably does have files.

I don't envy you having America as a neighbour. At least the UK will still have the civilised European continent as neighbours. Too bad we're leaving the family of nations though.

I would say something, but with the NSA keeping records, I'll refrain from commenting.

Most everyone does; your's just got bulked up with "Supicious Person" right on the front in big red letters.
