We're on a roll ^.^
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Adaptive Aesthetics
what kind of playing cards. Poker? Pokemon? I've made some pokemon cards online as a kid
Penguania And Antarctica
vaporcard? Heck, the theme doesn't even need to be about vaporwave, you could literally make cards with vapor (as in water vapor) trails around the backs, bleeding into the front. Could look pretty sick
Penguania And Antarctica, Adaptive Aesthetics
that'd probably feel uncomfortable and deter customers if we're talking economically
hey kiddos
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Orcala
Hi Est. How are you?
Jaslandia, New Estaris, Yukona
The Reich has two nations in the top 10 for agriculture, score lol.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Each card has a different A E S T H E T I C element printed on it. One has a Roman bust. Another has a bottle of Fiji water. And then another would have a potted plant.
Adaptive Aesthetics
By the way, is ANYONE gonna post on the Serpents of Aeden RP? Or the Confederacy General? Or are they just dead now?

REGIONAL SONG OF THE DAY
Day 6: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- "Concerto for Two Pianos, K 365; Third Movement" (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG-oyi5KfWk)
Thank you for reading, papa bless
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Sorry to hear that, dude. NS can be annoying.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Minnesota Dakota
I'm near the bottom but my map position says otherwise.
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Lol. Saw in the news that the residents of a wealthy area are having their expensive homes and cars vandalised. That's funny.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
See, that are the problems of the rich people. You are always in fear of people destroying your cars and gardens. As a poor person you have a much better life without that fear.
Nuremgard
Their lives are devoid of worry so this is their "issues."
"Wah! People are breaking our nice things! Feel sorry for us! Wah!"
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Those poor rich people. But I do understand their concerns. They don't want to spend millions to get their cars repaired every week. Because this will drive them right into poverty. And they don't want to get on the same level as this filthy poor scum.
Nuremgard
God love them. C*nts.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
I want to, but I need [nation=short]Unfallious[/nation] to accept me into the Confederacy General RP *hint, hint*
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
On a similar note,
*whispers*Jaslandiaaaaaaaaaa, what do you want to knooooooowwwwww
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
Oh, have mercy with them. They have a hard life. Always trying to avoid tax authorities, find new tax havens, find new tax code loopholes and spending all your money for unnecessary stuff. I'm sure it's a exhausting life always with the fear to end in prison. :P

To play devil's advocate, people tend to value their property, rich or not. Unless you're a hardcore communist, property is supposed to be protected, so anyone's property being vandalized is bad. Property is property, no matter who it belongs to.
Sorry. I should be able to have a Confederacy General post up later today.
Two things.
1. Some pets already have thumbs, if your pet is a monkey or something like that.
2. What the heck is the purpose of this holiday? Pointless speculation on trivial things is fun and all, but does it really need its own holiday?
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah but I'm a bitter bastard who relishes in the misfortune of the rich and better-off.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia
I have no clue who makes those holidays or why they are made. They are funny tho.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Percyton
Hey everyone! A quick update on my railway.
Three of the four engines I mentioned earlier have been named. Shu and Kijo are working hard and being really useful, and No. 7 went with the name 'Cardinal': he liked that it was named after the color red, and he was even more excited about the name when it found it was also a term for a bird and a high-ranking official in the Catholic Church. Only No. 84 is still unnamed, but he said he'll be able to decide on a name by this weekend. Once he settles on a name, I hope to publish a Factbook on my railway and its engines, which will include both the engines I already mentioned, and some others you haven't met yet. So stay tuned!
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Is still a name for No. 84 needed ? If so then it would be nice if you could describe the character of the engine again. Maybe we can help to find a name for him/her.
Jaslandia, Varrick The Rich Guy, Oelesa
I agree. I always enjoy seeing what holidays there are today, even if some of them are very unusual.
Jaslandia, Varrick The Rich Guy, Aghrabia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Sure! You all are free to offer suggestions. Here's what No. 84 is like:
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Even if you're just joking, I would be careful saying stuff like that if I were you. It can be difficult to tell when someone is joking and serious, especially online.
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah, white males are pretty damn sexy so f*ck them. F*ck them hard I say.
Aghrabia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia

But I must agree with you.

Members of the Confederacy,
Due to unforeseen circumstances I now realize my term with the Ministry of Justice must come to a close. Effective immediately, I hereby fully and unequivocally resign from any position in the Government of the Confederacy.
I realize all of you have been so welcoming here and I'm glad I left some sort of mark on this region with my one week stay. It's unknown how long I'll stay in the region. Everyone here deserves long and happy lives in peace, and I wish you all the best.
I'd like to see the daily music thing go on, hopefully one of you can take on that role.
I will notify the RMB when I depart.

Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, the shop had no new inventory, but, I did have a Connecticut by Rocky Patel, and it wasn't bad. A little light for my taste, but not bad. Better than the Monte Cristo White series. God, there is an nasty cigar. Left a horrible taste in my mouth. Surprised the h*ll out of me cause normally Monte Cristos are a top of the line brand, but hey, just my taste. I usually stick to the darker stuff like Brazilian tobacco or Nicaraguan. Cameroon, now there's some dark stuff. Dark as it comes. So much flavor and so strong, it'll take you out right quick.

Vista Major Do we not need to find a replacement for MoJ or has that stuff been sorted?
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica

Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Adaptive Aesthetics

Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
It looks good, but why does a nation that recently came and left have the same flag?
Oelesa
Well first, that's a similar flag, OK? I ditched the sword idea a while ago :P
Also, it's my puppet is why.
