United Federation? (Issue #643)

Postby Bedetopia » Tue Nov 29, 2016 8:40 am

“To mark this golden age,” declares Leo Tallstoy, CEO of Sky High Company, sitting upright with high hopes, “I suggest we build the tallest building in @@REGION@@! Not only can we finally snatch that tallest building record from the United Federation, but it will break whatever doubts our citizens have about @@NAME@@’s future! It will boost the economy and will be a good source of morale and patriotism. When aiming high, nothing’s worth the sky!”


That was unexpected. Who or what is this United Federation supposed to be? Have the editors decided to add a new NPC to change from the usual Bigtopians?

Maybe an in-game version of the United States?

United Federation? Seriously? A Papers, Please reference? Even so, at least they should explain why we've never heard of them before.

I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be a satirical take on the United States, based on 607.3:

"No! No! I can't take another election circus!" panics @@RANDOMNAME@@, a refugee from the United Federation. "Where I come from, election season lasts a painful twenty-four months, and the endless mudslinging during debates and advertisements between TV shows are slowly driving everyone insane. Insane I tell you! Please, for the sake of common decency, ban all political campaigns. We're better off not being constantly bothered by political hacks, anyways."

United Federation is a reference to the United Arab Emirates, who currently hold the record for tallest building in the world.

edit: That was meant for the building option. I understand the US reference in the other one.

It looks like an ordinary NPC to me, not country related.
Hear ye, hear ye! The Glorious Vritannia
has awoken.

As light surpasses through the shadows of the Earth, a nation filled with warriors and heroes alike were shouting, "Viva la Vritannica, vive Le roi! ".

Oh pity these fools, may their shouts be heard! For the glory of their king, man shall further notice their thirst for world domination...

Gravedigging is not a suitable occupation.

Death Note
This is a Modern-Tech nation. We only put a satellite and a man into space so far.
We are a Middle power, so if we die, so will some of the global economy.
We have the 8th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. (RL world)
Pro: Regulations, Military, Law and Order
Anti: Freedom of speech, Discrimination, CHEWING GUM
Just so you know, I don't think like that. That stuff is roleplaying Singapore (itself, the real life nation)
I have many issues, and you can find the complete list here.

at least in most nationstates, as well as the international forums,
although I'm sure it's perfectly suitable in some places like the United Federation

Gravedigging isn't nice.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
