I loved Australia when I visted for about four months. The wildlife is awesome, the environment is awesome, and I just overall enjoyed my time there. We even got to up into the mountains for my fourth birthday. :D Also has a p. good economy and a great HDI. Aussieland is win, imo.

Some cons? Spiders and snakes.

I think they'll notice it when your skin tone randomly becomes considerably darker.

Well, if we're lucky, they'll probably think you've been tanning and that I suffer from that one disease that Michael Jackson also had that turned him white.

Yes it is. It's a disease of the brain
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Haven't we already done that? I was torn apart by a phantom kangaroo, remember? And then you said something about the cuter it looks the more deadly it is. And then I went all like "Damn, this cute phantom eastern grey kangaroo must be very deadly then." and then you said it was related to the lizard and then I didn't think it was cute anymore and then you said eastern grey kangaroos were lizards too and then I cried because that makes them less adorable.

Can I be a certified Australian member?

One other thing: Did you know that Australia has more sheep than people? Does anyone ever think of us for sheep and wool? No. What does this say about the Australian federal PR department?

What? Our country was built on wool.

It was a little more than slightly better :lol:. Still, Silversun has a special place in my heart because of its cheesiness, and is a source of frustration for me every time I remember the ending :p.
