We don't state trivial facts in our motto.

The bottom quarters of the ship, where the lower classes reside, is basically 2000 people crammed in a space of less than 17 hectares.

Estyae was annexed by Loratz in 782 AD and has been a part of 17 different empires before gaining independence in 1992

Some tribes in Gajra have access to missiles and munitions.

We succeed in adding custom font to our factbooks.

We are an intergalactic empire, but we have weaponry that is inferior to most pre-starfaring civilizations. This is due to the fact that we have an extreme aversion to lethal force, and we compensate for it by mostly investing in armor technologies instead.

by **Finsternia** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:29 am

Due to the fact that our magic is far more superior than our technology, and also consider the fact that we are nearing FFT, the Finsternian Dragonflight uses most the empire's spaceships as chew toys.

This is kind of a shock fail. Our Demigods are known for often using our other ships and aircraft as handheld weapons. Not that they are all that effective due to said vessel's rather pathetic offensive firepower, though.

The video game Tetris is incredibly popular here for some reason.

It's prolly dat music.

Revolutions are usually put down with Soma-induced intercourse, not secret police and memory holes.

When a handheld weapon's firepower is terrible, better use it to bash your enemies in the face. Quite logical to be honest.

Revolutionaries are captured and used as experiments for Voidpurge and arming as a bio-bomb.

by **Yedmnrutika Gavr** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 8:53 am

revolutionaries are given medals

by **Holy Theocracy of the Endocrine** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 8:59 am

Only about 50 members of our entire military force are actually effective at combat.

by **DeepFall** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 9:10 am

Our leader is a dragon and in our nation, dragons and humans peacefully coexist.

by **Finsternia** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 9:49 am

We still hate humans even if there are a lot of them currently living in the Empire. It takes sheer will and self control to not blast them with every destructive spell we know.

by **Yedmnrutika Gavr** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 11:40 am

gavrians know many defensive spells but only one can actually blast someone and that is lux aeterna :geek:

All of our spells require the spilling of blood, and many require at least a whole body's worth!

Large waves of migrants are not an issue for Valkalan. Because we have no welfare state, their presence incurs little to no expense to the national coffers. And since our economy is subject to few regulations, it is very simple to hire foreigners to build towering new apartment complexes that the newcomers will eventually inhabit. Our construction techniques utilizing standardized building "blocks" allow such apartment complexes, which average from 20 to 30 stories tall, to be built in a matter of days.

What is a crisis for the world is merely another business opportunity for Valkalan.

If an "illegal immigrant" can manage to get inside the walls of a supercity, they've effectively demonstrated enough resourcefulness and ambition to become "legal", entitling them to the rights, responsibilities and (yes) benefits of full-fledged Frenkish citizens.

Of course, we would accept skilled, educated immigrants without them having to worry about the walls, but if we put it this way, the populace will stop growling about immigration all together.

For a long time Ashkera has taken in controlled numbers of refugees. An efficient assimilation process has been developed that starts before they even get off the boat.

Now that Ashkera has reached its current population, this is becoming less feasible as war-torn regions continue to generate refugees indefinitely and aren't known for their low birth-rates. The government has decided to become less isolationist and cut down on refugee numbers before they arrive by using its vast intelligence apparatus, and has begun threatening warlords under a new policy of "don't make us come over there."

This has meant confirming that they have been behind a number of political disappearances over the past decades, including of people that were supposed to be extremely well-guarded.

We are a nation of immigrants and still welcome immigrants to our country. Our policy is that more people equals more power.

by **The Nexus of Man** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 2:04 pm

Most Nexus immigrants come from anarchic Africa, along with Frenkish and South American dissidents and aslyum-seekers.

by **Greater Mackonia** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 2:16 pm

Immigrants categorically caused the last financial meltdown.

Well at least according to some newspapers.

by **Yedmnrutika Gavr** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 2:17 pm

most of our immigrants came to us from the land down under
