Good for you, Korea has been restored. However, if you want to RP communist rebels in your nation, that'd be cool. You'd become a sort of shatterbelt for the region, so that'd lead to some very interesting scenarios

The Acts of Union united the two kingdoms of Scotland and England into one state, that of Great Britain. It did not abolish either kingdom nor did it assimilate one into the other. Our two nations are (supposedly) equals in the Union, distinct and separate, unified by a common parliament and monarch. Scotland is my nation. My loyalty is to it. I have never felt British nor do I bear any love or loyalty to the British state.

Sorry to hear that. I never expected The Welding Institute to do such a thing. I would have thought they would have been too busy researching welding and welding-related technology to pay attention to NS factbooks.

You shouldn't need an ounce of protection as long as you are the founder.

You can talk to the MoFA, but I'd suggest growing your region a bit before seeking alliances.

Great video on economics explained in a simple way! Definitely recommend watching for a rudimentary understanding of economics!

Also, there needs to be a law created that limits borrowing, both on an individual basis and on a collective basis (governments and businesses), to only investment. If you're borrowing money that won't go towards increases productivity in some way, then you can't borrow. If you want money to buy a tractor to harvest crops easier, to get an education for a better job, to hire more workers or to invest in infrastructure, that is fine and worthy of borrowing for. Everything else is really just unacceptable.

We also need to begin tackling our debt before it gets too big. We are in danger of losing our credit worthy status, causing an economic collapse and it is also a barrier to true liberty. Fiscal responsibility used to be a virtue in America, and it is time that was true again.

Jacob is translated in Hebrew as "supplanter", which means to trip up, or trick.

Hate to burst your bubble kiddo, but our debt is already too big. Trillions of dollars owed mostly to the Chinese for cheap products. As for borrowing money, I agree mostly, but at the same time people need loans to buy houses, but that does not increase productivity. There's ups and downs to both sides of it.

Not to mention that we are somehow in debt to ourselves, which i'm losing my mind trying to figure out that pseudo-paradox.

Same with my name, though I gotta say that I prefer the transitive definition of "Supplant"
