It's not. And what's worse is that it's become associated with Scotland. As if the song represents the whole country. Same with Trainspotting. Cracking film but it gives the impression that all Scots are junkie scum.

Anyways I'm pleased to announce that soon I will be 100% ready for rp. I just finished updating the map of Kumania and now I'm working on updating my population and government. I just realized in increasing my nation's population from 55 million to 65 million I increased the number of seats in the Royal Parliament by 50 so now I'm tryna figure out how to portion those 50 new seats out across my nation's provinces.

I would advise you not to adjust your nation's legislature or geographical structure to meet with population increases. Nuremgard has 8 billion citizens right now. I'd need the whole globe to fit them lol
