Penguania And Antarctica
The region has been very quiet recently.
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
See! @Discord users, I told you!
Penguania And Antarctica
How are you keeping?
Penguania And Antarctica
Hallo. I wish you all a wonderful day. :)
Zakastibad, Merlinton, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Mercunova
How is everyone doing?
Tired as hell. Sister forced me to get up early to go to the vet with her but she couldn't get the cat into the carrier, so we didn't bother going to the vet and I got up early for nothing.
Penguania And Antarctica
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your day was still good besides that. :)

He'd fall out with her if she did something like that lol
What a shame abortion was not legalised in Argentina. I hope the activists there keep fighting for women's right to choose.
Jaslandia, Gualimole
He was on his way to the vet, so I suspected a damaged relationship was inevitable :P
Nuremgard
That worked for most of my cats. I had one mean son of a bitch tom who we could only ever get to the vet by stuffing him into a large, well-taped, cardboard box.
You're a Canadian, right? Do you have to de-claw your cats there?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes to being Canadian, no to needing to declaw your cats. Most were declawed when I was growing up, but now it seems to be 50/50. A lot of people are of the opinion that its cruel.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The British Islands Confederacy
Well that's the vets' problem. An occupational hazard. It's what they signed up for.
I would consider de-clawing to be cruel myself, rather like docking of pups.
Nuremgard
Declawing for non-medical reasons is illegal over here and is regarded as cruelty to animals punishable with prison up to 3 years or a fine of up to 25,000.
Nuremgard, The British Islands Confederacy
Germany, right?
I can agree with that punishment.

iunno about you guys but my dog loves the vets, easily the highlight of his year
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
A precious lucky few are able to fully suppress the memories associated with the human who took away their reproductive capabilities.

Post self-deleted by Penguania And Antarctica.
he still has his balls, so I think that's related
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Yukona, The British Islands Confederacy
Ha!
🤷🏼♂️
I hate how cruelty to animals and abandonment of them is treated less seriously by the courts than if it was done to a human. I also dislike how animals are considered property by the law.
Yukona, The British Islands Confederacy
You mean here or in the UK?
In the UK.
Yukona
Ah okay. Because it wasn't that clear in your post.
My apologies.
Penguania And Antarctica
Not necessary. Nothing bad happened. :)
Nuremgard
What piece of technology is really frustrating for you all to use?
I'm curious for all your answers. :)
Using my phone sometimes frustrates me because I often type the wrong letter numerous times in a row when texting or using WattsApp.
Penguania And Antarctica
Auto correction??
No, I hate auto correct.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Hmm, understandable. At least we don't use T9 anymore. Unless you've got an old Nokia phone. :)
Nuremgard
Haha, no. I have a HTC Desire.
Penguania And Antarctica
Most IT stuff frustrates me. It's totally arcane.
I like anything mechanical because generally I can see how it works and how to fix it if it goes kaputt.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Technology is an enemy of mine.
Penguania And Antarctica, The British Islands Confederacy
I see I see. Mechanical machines are also interesting to look at.
Modern man of the 21st century.
Nuremgard, The British Islands Confederacy
My sister got me it a couple of years ago. My first ever modern phone. My friends used to always make fun of me beforehand because of the old type phones I had.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The British Islands Confederacy
I've had an old Nokia until 2.75 years ago. I know that feeling very well.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, The British Islands Confederacy
Or, put another way... Four legs good, two legs bad!
Nuremgard has an imperial family. I have another country called Mazradia but I am unsure whether or not to make it an official Empire or a Kingdom (but have it be imperialist.)
I like Empire but I also like the idea of having a Kingdom and royal family as opposed to an imperial one. Just to make it different from Nuremgard. What do you think?
May I ask how tall you all are? Because I'm often part of the smaller people.
I'm 173cm/1,73m or 5ft 8in.
Zakastibad
5*7 I think.
About 6 foot, maybe a little less.
Penguania And Antarctica
Hey, hey! Same height buddies!
Penguania And Antarctica
Same.
Zakastibad, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I'm jealous of yalls heights
Zakastibad, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
6ft 2in.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Au Minbo, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I love a tall man. Wish I was taller.
Penguania And Antarctica
Same bro

The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects.

Spanelsko's Civil Rights fell from Average to Below Average.
Not sure why my civil rights fell.

I almost forgot how much fun it is to answer issues. :)

Penguania And Antarctica
Same here. Sometimes I'm just too bored to do so. When I do though, it's fun. Most of them, at least...
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I haven't done them for a loooong time.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Anglia Imperium
I am so fickle with nations.
Jaslandia, Mercunova, Yukona
Citizens have approximately a day left to declare candidacy for the upcoming election.
Jaslandia, Anglia Imperium
Iunno dude, working in a pizza shop can expose you to some pretty stinky money
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Caveat emptor.
See, I've always disagreed with this notion. Surely it's the seller's responsibility to not sell bad quality goods
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Anglia Imperium
Nah, caveat emptor applies. E.g. if you're stupid enough to pay for a course at Trump University, you deserve to be fleeced.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Totally agree.
But to stay in line with my Latin responses:
Suum cuique
It sounds like a kind of phrase you'd hear from a commie, but if I'm correct it's a motto used quite a lot by some authorities to mean all are equal in the face of the law.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Anglia Imperium
German military police
Jaslandia, Anglia Imperium
In dubio pro reo
Jaslandia, Anglia Imperium
I didn't know this one, but it's a solid judicial concept. You shouldn't convict someone in you still have doubts over their guilt.

Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos. Tempora si fuerint nubila, solus eris.

I have reason to suspect Penguania And Antarctica's second mother tongue is Latin...

Duuuuuude, we didnt go far enough, wheezes Heidi Claus, creeping into your office from an open window. It was a great idea to put chems in the water, and itd be an even greater idea to get some feel-good drugs into the cocktail. Everybody must get stoned, man; its like that song. Now, it is a shame and an outrage, dear leader, that users of certain socially stigmatized drugs continue to be left out in the cold. It isnt fair that people who like to drink the tap water get it for free, while I have to spend my hard-earned Arma 3s importing rare diamondback licking-toads. The government should add more highs to the supply, man! Subsidize recreational drug use!
The Talking Point
The state funds the recreational drug habits of every citizen.
I am quite sure that i upgraded Spanelsko from a Drug Cartel to a ´´Drugged State´´
Jaslandia
Same.

Free trade is both advantageous environmentally and financially.

Good morning everyone. I wish you all a great Sunday of fun and relaxation. :)

[spoiler]As you set out for Ithaka
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidondont be afraid of them:
youll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
wild Poseidonyou wont encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope the voyage is a long one.
May there be many a summer morning when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka wont have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.[/spoiler]

I like the German version more than the English. Unfortunately I'm unable to understand the original Greek.
The English one you posted is quite close to the Greek text

I love the feeling of cancelling a policy I don't want.
Everestopia, Jaslandia, Mercunova, Anglia Imperium
Just to clarify, I'm running this election with Anglia Imperium, although the name on the ballot is of my other nation, Cesorion. Voting for Ces is voting for Anglia
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
When an issue wants you to get rid of Prisons
Mmm, no.
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Wish I could do the same... Wish I could cancel regional constitutional amendments.
Nuremgard
Yeah.. like, definitely not.
I got rid of mine, but law enforcement is heavily funded.

Fun fact: Pipelines are less likely to leak oil or natural gas than trucks or rail. So if you're an environmentalist, then you should support pipelines because the alternative is to transport oil and natural gas by truck or rail, which are worse for the environment due to emissions and relative risk.
Nuremgard, Anglia Imperium
Or how about no oil altogether and if not that then not new pipelines which feed into big oil companies pockets and allow them to profit even further from the exploitation of our collective heritage we deserve
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Anglia Imperium
The ideal is to phase out fossil fuels altogether, but in the short-term, we have to find the most environmentally friendly ways to use fossil fuels and use natural gas as a "bridge fuel" before transitioning to renewables and clean fuels.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Anglia Imperium
That moment when you want to write a factbook about an aspect of your country's culture but draw inspiration from Nazi Germany.

But the real question goes .. "Where do all the criminals get locked up?"
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
This bridge should be as short as possible and whilst we travel it the polluters should do us a favour and hop off the side of it. Environmental protection is a matter of national security requiring the finance that the bomb droppers get but dont deserve.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Gualimole
This is why I am glad and proud that the Scottish Government invests so much in renewable energy.
