Well, it serves them darn well right! shouts your infuriated Minister of Defense, furiously kicking your expensive imported mahogany desk and sending your papers flying. An eye for an eye, I say! They insulted us multiple times, and they got what they deserved. As a matter of fact, now is the perfect time to truly pay them back for their slander of our great nation! They want aid? How about we aid them by sending some missiles aimed right at their capital? Thatll show them!
You know the irony of this? i saw the title ´´friend´´ in need and the first thing i asked myself was how much fun it would be to bomb/invade them, and then the first option is this.
Wyoming is this drink available only in Wyoming?
Yes.

You should let Minnesotans sell your pop too.

I am sure that Sacramento Sarsaparilla is well known to people local to the border regions between our nations but as far as distribution goes, it ends with retailers within the Republic of Wyoming.
Sacramento Sarsaparilla is a cultural signature of my nation and a closely guarded recipe which is the sole property of Buffalo Brewing CO's current owner, Jerry Lee Blomberg.

Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Spanelsko
some small information= Spanelsko has made its last report for some time now (until something important happens or the war is over)
(by report i mean official news for people and leaders to read so from now on we will focus only on writing about the war from the HQ)
You still can unofficially sell it in black market i am sure some people would pay for it. (not us)
It isn't like the government bans it's export or sale, just that the company only distributes it here. You could probably write the company and get a cooler and a couple of cases shipped anywhere in the world but it probably won't be very economical and it surely isn't a wide spread practice.

"Coal: basically cocaine for Thomas the Tank Engine."
Unless he's talking about the Killdane batch from the Killdane incident, not really. Coal isn't (normally) a drug; we need it to move and to do stuff, and without it, we're quite literally stuck. I know it's a joke and all, just thought I'd point that out.
Also, I believe this is the second time John Oliver referenced Thomas & Friends (here's the first time: https://youtu.be/voxfqkrO5ww?t=1m16s). And he once gave the city of Scranton a giant train set (https://youtu.be/0rndgLT9AG4). Perhaps John Oliver is a secret Thomas fan?
I get it! Good one, Minnesota!

I think that everyone on the top 25 of the Largest Soda Pop Sector in The Confederacy of Free Nations list should write up a quick dispatch about soda pop in their nation, it could be a fun way to get people active.

I am 117th in the region.

Huh. Apparently I have the 9th-biggest soda industry in the region. Maybe I'll do something with that sometime.

Nothing too exciting. Not long after the leadership election will be the general election, and the ruling Conservative Party is kinda flailing and panicking because current polls show them losing to the Opposition party the Liberals by a fairly solid margin. The Conservatives are trying tax cuts and other populist-like moves to gain some last-minute support. How are things in Nuremgard?
Nuremgard, Percyton
When I read that the Cons are desperately appealing for votes, it made me smile. I hope the Liberals take power. Things have been quiet in Nuremgard recently. Although conspiracy theorists have been going nuts. They are convinced that the new subway map of the capital resembles Satanic symbols and they are also convinced the government is spying on them through their newly installed carbon monoxide detectors.
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Government if this is about your monopoly on violence listen
im ok with it as long as it's consensual
so go ahead and exercise your monopoly on me as much as you want
just help me with this
If the biggest issues are subway maps and carbon monoxide detectors, then I'd say Nuremgard doesn't have much to worry about.
Nuremgard, Percyton
Agreed. I wish taxes were lower but people are happy so...

Tangshan is keeping its people loyal. Those who don't recite the Pledge of Allegiance at least thrice a day are placed on terrorist watch lists.

why didnt i think of this sooner, now i have to steal the idea that Tangshan has.
it will be a good addition to the whole people are just numbers thing. (our people all have name like this for example= 3726) except for army.
Nuremgard
Tangshan gives its citizens numbers too.

good to see that we have some similar or same things :)

just a thing i remembered, before the whole blockade thing we did sent one of our representatives to Sulania (for the Kyoto whatever conference) what happened to him? did he kill himself? was he arrested?

Nice, Percy! Glad to hear there are three engines that now have a new home on Sodor! Also, with Flying Thistle and narrow gauge Sidney (both characters who only appeared in the Thomas & Friends magazines) being introduced, I'm learning more and more that the magazines are surprisingly canonical.

Axeldonia
Tomorrow the census report is on book publishing which is terrible in my nation, I should put together a post about that too.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Percyton
Thnaks, Jas! The magazines are a mixture. Some of the stories, especially from the 90s and early 200s are true or mostly true, other stories just have some true elements (like a similar premise to a real event or introducing a real engine or person), and still others are entirely made up. In this case, the stories about the Flying Thistle and Sidney are mostly accurate, except for some minor issues (ex: Flying Thistle was incorrectly deposited as faceless in his second magazine appearance, and Sidney's origins is a combination of elements from both his magazine appearances - 'Duck's Best Friend' and 'The Scenic Railway').

"Islam can Prevent Abuse"
Sahih Bukhari (62:81) - "The Prophet said: "'The stipulations most entitled to be abided by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the (women's) private parts (i.e. the stipulations of the marriage contract).'" In other words, the most important thing a woman brings to marriage is between her legs.

Frankly, we shouldnt be wasting time giving our children costly educations, just to have Bigtopians take their jobs, remarks Yuri Khan, a wealthy business executive sharing a drink in your office. Lets lift the ban on child labor and instead put our children to work in service and retail positions - jobs that cant be sent to other countries. They might not get paid much, but itll at least get them working and this economy moving again. Handing you a wad of money, he continues, And well both make an Arma 3 or two off it as well...
I cant believe i had slavery this entire time yet child labour was banned, well time to send even kids to factories.

That's religion for you. Reduces women down to a womb and vagina. They don't have rights or anything. They're just pieces of men that men can f*ck and then they become walking incubators when they're pregnant.
Axeldonia, Spanelsko, Nuova Constidor
Bah, you say that like it has feelings.
Well, for Islam anyways.
Spanelsko
Not just Islam. Christianity too as well as Judaism. Most religions dehumanise women.
Nuova Constidor
Could you elaborate on how Christianity dehumanizes women please? I'm not sure if I follow you on that.
Look at the centuries of Christian oppression throughout the world, especially towards women. And even nowadays the RCC still wont let women be clergy, is against abortion, against contraception etc. I'd say that's pretty anti-woman.
Axeldonia
That maybe so but youre only looking at one major denomination, while there are others with different beliefs, take Baptist Christianity for example.
There are too many denominations to analyse. Generally, religion is anti-woman.
Axeldonia
Then I suggest to not go into denominations, since it's confusing as hell to cross examine, and present evidence from the Bible itself, though I'd recommend the KJV Bible.
That's why I gave up on religion. Too many denominations all claiming to be right. And the Bible is just complete nonsense from beginning to end.
Axeldonia, Spanelsko
Well of course it's nonsensical, but I'm simply saying that the best way to handle this situation is to research its source.
I done plenty of research by reading the damned thing when I was religious.
Wait, hold up, you used to be religious?
Used to be fiercely religious, so much so that my family worried for my mental health.
Axeldonia
A surprise to be sure, but an interesting one...
Yukona
Yup. Became religious in my teen years after my mum and dad separated.

I became a Christian when my home became a crackhouse.

Good Afternoon,
I am New Porto Rico, President and World Assembly Delegate of the Confederation of Nations. I am sending this message as the person behind the nation.
On September 20, 2017 a category 4 hurricane hit my home country of Puerto Rico. It destroyed everything that was in its path, houses cars, power lines, river has flooded towns and the island is currently without electricity and running water.
With that being said, I invite you to help and contribute in anyway you can, on any legal organization to help Puerto Rico Rise Again. Puerto Rico need food, water, betteries, diapers, sanitary products, etc.
Please donate or ask your local government to contribute and to help Puerto Rico rise up again. Help is really slow, especially the area outside in the metropolitan area of the country. Every Dollar, every can of food, every gallon of water will help.
Thank You,
New Porto Rico

I was never religious, though I did wonder for a time if there was a god since Life had -and has- a really witty way of screwing me over. I figured if there was one, he probably hated me :p
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Well I know he hates me if he exists. Apparently he is picky about where men should put their genitals.

I give my sincerest apology for having caused a religious debate between Nuremgard and the Cross and Davids Star. I did not mean to summon something of that nature on the internet.
This kind of stuff happens a lot here, don't beat yourself up about it.
Jaslandia
I was being less than completely serious when I wrote that.
Wasn't really a debate. Just a back and forth on the issue.
Well since there was a small debate i might as well add my own views.
Religion is stupid to put it simply, made to brainwash people, i myself hate religion (if it wasnt obvious i am an anti-theist) even through i dont mind it as long as someone doesnt try to spread it around me or anywhere for that matter, believe what you want to, but generally religion is the reason why humanity cant advance and is still backwards in many parts of the world.
And if there is a god, well i hope that few nuclear missiles will teach him about what happens when you screw over humanity.
So those were my views.
Nuremgard
Well then...
something wrong?
Nuthin, just the overt hatred of religion just seems extreme
I can start an actual one if yall want. Just got to quote Marx on something and well get a fierce argument going.
