HI! *waves furiously*
Yulis is a big nation of football-loving Socialists, metal-heads, and cat videos. In the way that American "left-wing extremists" are centre-right politicians to the rest of the world, Yulisian "right-wing extremists" are centre-left politicians to the rest of the world.

I'm a person, I live in New Zealand. If you wondered, I am probably laughing at your country right now, but I'll be crying fairly shortly. This stuff is great.
