I was reading about filibusters in the U.S. Senate on Wikipedia. Eventually, I ended up on this article:

Oh some friend of mine showed me this neat game you could make your own country...no idea how he found it though. Played through the basics and derped around then got bored stopped playing i think i even made a comment or two on the forums but it was a bit much for me.
Fast forward a year or so (probably a couple of years) i was curious what my old nation was like, for some reason (maybe i forgot the password or something) i made this nation instead. Tried out the forums seemed okayish for a bit, but folks were a bit dickish back then got fed up/bored left again.
Fast forward another year, i was curious if anything had changed, some things had. Things seemed better somehow or maybe i had nothing better to do. There seemed to be a correlation between how much time i spent on here and my worsening grades in Uni. :-P
so i had to stop for another year or so. but then i quit uni so i came back.
Then ponies.

I wanted to create my own flag, so I search up how to create one online. Then, I got to Nationstates and ended up creating my own countries and my own region.

My nephew is the one who founded this nation. I suppose he got bored with it, and as I had recently got back into town after having spent a bit of time in Albania, knew no one in town and was quite depressed, I suppose he turned it over to me as a way to cheer me up. I never really got around to making a different nation.

What if they start kissing me and groping me?
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
