Tell me about it.
Penguania And Antarctica
I hope Scotland votes Yes and lets the English rot outside the EU. You lot made your bed, now lie in it.

Have you not heard the news? May has ruled out any authorisation of a referendum until at least late 2019
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
We'll see about that. All she said was, "now's not the time" but the media has interpreted this as blocking a referendum. If she tries to block it, she'll be violating the Treaty of Union which states that the Scottish people are sovereign. If we want a referendum, we'll have one. If the English government doesn't like that, they can take it up with the UK Supreme Court or UN.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
Where in the Treaty does it say that? From where I'm looking I can tell you Article 1 stipulates the Union is eternal.
Penguania And Antarctica
That's the right spirit. :)
Jaslandia
My mistake. It's not in the Treaty of Union. It's the Claim of Right 1989 that bestows sovereignty on the Scottish people. No union or law is eternal. Any treaty can be torn up. If you think Scotland is bound to the union for all time, you're dreaming. That isn't how democracy works.

This song is so great, what champ picked this
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
The USA has a small issue with that statement ;P
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
[nation=short]Kalaron[/nation], I apologize for my outburst the other day. It was unprofessional and I regret my harsh words.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, The Cross And Davids Star
Well the British and American unions are different, thank God.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
Eh, don't sweat it, all's forgiven.
That's what you say, but we all know you want to be the fifty first state for all time ;P
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, The Cross And Davids Star
I'd rather eat camel sh!t personally. It's England that wants to be the 51st state since Theresa May has her tongue shoved firmly up the Orange Emperor's rectum.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania
While that may be true, please don't insult our president like that.
I'll insult your president all I like.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Aghrabia, Oelesa
Eh, I don't mind it.
Dude is a bit of a massive slurmp.
Aw, we were gonna switch to meteric for you ;P
Nuremgard, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
I can insult your nation all i like as well, but I don't.
My country may once again take its rightful and natural place as an independent state in the near future. No need to try and charm us into being your lapdogs lol
Course you can. It's called freedom of speech. I'm exercising my right to call your president a c*nt and you're choosing not to insult my leader. All's right with the world.
Aghrabia, Oelesa
Yeah, but until then you're England's B!tch.
Oelesa
Sadly that's true. Hopefully most Scots will show a bit of pride and backbone and vote Yes this time lie many of us did in 2014.
Oelesa, Kalaron
Yeah, but it wasn't enough to break away.
Aw man :(
We need a new one, Britain is getting old and slow ;D
Well, you have to wait until England's finished f*cking 'em.
Wow. Well done for noticing that and informing me. I had no idea my country was still in the United Kingdom until you told me.
The UK is old and ailing. Time to put it out of its misery.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Kalaron
You're welcome. Captain Obvious explains the day again!
DO IT! The UK (including and especially Scotland [nation=short]Nuremgard[/nation], before you say anything) is a huge sh!tpile at the moment that's falling apart by the second. I insult my nation all the time, lighten up a bit.
Nuremgard
Lol, you've became very salty after my comment on your Oompa Loompa head of state. Are you his personal arse-wiper or something? Is that why you're taking it so personally?
Aghrabia, Oelesa
You think if we give Unf some baltic states, he'll be America's lapdog?
Nah, too slow for fast American Lifestyle.
Free Scotland, depose England!
Nuremgard, Oelesa
https://youtu.be/H3MqmV47Lq8
An Englishman who sees the writing on the wall. Wonders never cease! :P
Aghrabia
You'll need to ask Unf.
Hey, at least i have the decency to not insult that fish of a minister. Oh wait, nvm.
Aghrabia, Oelesa
Ooooh, you made a fish joke about Nicola Sturgeon! F*ck me, you're at the forefront of political comedy. Because we've never heard jokes like that before.
Christ, the unionists should get you to run their campaign next time around. You're a belter.
Oelesa
Well I didn't say that Scotland should break away should I? Follow Comrade Corbyn, rise up in revolution against those dirty Tory tw*ts! ... JK, that would be a terrible idea. I do hate the Tories as much as you do Nurem, despite the fact that the English are all "in on it" apparently.
Nuremgard
You mean a singer with a powerful voice? Why, yes I am!
Aghrabia, Oelesa
Behave. I never said all the English are in on it but too many of you vote Tory for my liking and that's one of the reasons why I want Scotland to GTFO. Too many accuse Scottish nationalists of playing the victim card but plenty of English do it as well. Don't be one of them. No offence but it isn't always about England.
Aghrabia
Some patter, mate.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Patter? is that some kind of Scottish lingo?
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Aye it is.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
well, this argument just turned into an air beige.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Nice, I'm always happy when my [diffuse mixture of multiple gases, including Oxygen, Nitrogen and cabon dioxide] is coloured in a manner similar to [Tan]
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
You know what I mean ya huddy.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
I didn't say you did, but that's the vibe I get from the campaign in general. Seriously though, how am I playing the victim card? I don't consider myself a victim of anything, really (other than the general idiocy surrounding the EU vote. The Remain campaign was beset by so many problems it was probably inevitable that we were going to leave in the first place. And how much the Conservatives are fvcking with the school system).
Nuremgard
Both of ya quit your gabbin.
Aghrabia
It's because you said most of the English are "in on it" as if you were saying I was accusing all of England of somehow oppressing Scotland or standing in its way. I'm not saying you're playing the victim card but many do. "Oh, Scots are so ungrateful and all we do is pay for them and give them referendums and it's all about them and they get special status and loads of money from Barnett, waah, waah" You'd think the way some of them were talking that it was Holyrood running the Union and not Westminster.
Remain did have a lot of issues aye, including the media and UKIP who made the EU vote all about immigration and portrayed the EU as some big bad imperial oppressor telling England what to do (ironic many down south should have such an aversion to imperialism given their pride in the country's imperial past.) And yes, your school system is in a mess. I feel sorry for you English who don't vote Tory but need to suffer under their rule.
You guys need a revolution. Either a democratic one or an actual one. Where's Guy Fawkes when you need him eh? ;)
Aghrabia
Please no actual revolution. All we have is dear old Comrade Corbyn over there just being generally useless. Next election is the first time I can vote, so hopefully I can make it count.
Nuremgard, Yukona
Who do you plan on voting for? And if you consider Corbyn useless, who would you rather see as leader of the Labour Party?
Dunno cause i have no idea how Scottish, or European, for that matter, politics work.
Labour if Corbyn in't in charge at that point, and then... I don't know. And I'm not really sure who I would rather have as leader- anyone at this point. Who was that guy who stood against him again? Owen Smith, wasn't it? I liked him.
I wasn't asking you.
Magnatronia
Too Blairite for my taste. But Blairism is the only thing that will get you elected in England these days. That or hardcoe blue Conservatism. Our countries have different values, Aghraia and are heading down very divergent political paths. Time for an amicable divorce and a return to being true equals again.
Aghrabia
I know :)
Yukona
Away and find a hobby, son.
Jaslandia
This is my hobby, well, one of them at least.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Oelesa, Yukona
Perhaps. I have previously said (not in this region) that I would support- albeit reluctantly- Scotland's wish for independence after how they were f*cked over last time. I didn't find him that bad (or Blairite, for that matter). I dislike both New Labour and the current leadership, so what do I want?
Nuremgard
Blair did reasonably well but the war in Iraq screwed him over. What you need is dramatic Westminster reform. You need a brand new political party that will challenge the status quo and make Westminster a better government. If not that then one of the two major parties (Labour or Tory) need to put reform on their agenda. This wont happen though as the current setup suits them all too well. And I do not believe there is much appetite in England for reform.
So you're f*cked, mate. Sorry about that.
Aghrabia
Why do we even need the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Nuremgard, Aghrabia
It's past its sell-by date, bud.
Magnatronia
What are your other hobbies?

>However, the spark that set the world on fire happened. On March 16, 2020, a German battleship was sunk off the coast of Anatolia, near the Bosphorus Strait. No one knows the cause of this or who did it, but everyone is pointing fingers at one another.
I did it, I couldn't stand it's existence as a Battleship in the modern world.
Jaslandia
What should I put. Warship? Boat?
Jaslandia, Kalaron
Warship if it wasn't a BB really.
how bout that stockmarket. what will it do next!?
Yukona
Video games, drumming, and debates.
Two things arrived in the post today. A letter telling my mum that her council tax is increasing and our polling cards for the local council elections in May.
Scottish Labour: Let's put the tax up and send out people's polling cards to remind them there's an election coming. The tax rise will totally make them vote for us.
Political geniuses.
Ludania, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Oelesa, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
Womp, womp, woooommp.
What's a council tax ?
can u help me milk my cat
The council tax is a tax we pay to our local government authority who is meant to provide services local to your area such as taking away the rubbish, maintaining roads, running schools etc.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
i have 2 many teeth do u want some
Magnatronia
Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying.
Nuremgard, Yukona
i tried to eat the sun but i filled up on sky

Nope. I am not dentophilic.
Are you okay ?

How often does someone come in to this region, say a bunch of random or inflammatory stuff, and go dark? Because it seems like it happens pretty frequently.
On another note, does any watch Malcolm in the Middle? I've been binging it and it so still really solid.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Kinda often.
It ain't everyday, but enough to be annoying.
A little too often for my liking. Come in, start arguments with members that often turn into personal attacks, and then they either go dark or leave the region. We had this happen a few too many times.
I watched here and then, not really anymore. Back when I was dating this guy, I gave him my netflix account and he binged Malcom in the Middle like crazy. Along with other shows, some of which I got really angry at him for watching and having them appear on my "last seen" tab. Like Heaven's Lost Property, nearly killed him for that.
Oelesa, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica

Maybe our region needs a new flag? Perhaps we could have a contest to design a new flag for our region.
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Finally put up my military factbook yesterday.
Jaslandia, Yukona
I like the flag, but I'm not a fan of the color scheme
Happy St. Patrick's Day to our Irish cousins. I hope that in the near future my country will join yours as a proud, independent state.
