My mind is odd.

My first thought was "His name was Robert Paulson."
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

Relatively new poster to the forums, lurker on the old Jolt ones.

Tratvia was the name of a fictional country in the 1960s radio show The Embassy Lark. I liked the name, so when it came to be time for me to name a country in NationStates, I picked that one. It ceased to exist when I was called away from the Internet for some months. When I found NationStates again, I used the name Free Ruislip (inspired by a Two Ronnies sketch). When I found I could resurrect Tratvia, it once more became my main nation.

Oh, and Nanatsu no Tsuki...

Hardly new but I don't post very often if that helps ;P in fact, this is my first post on the new forum.

Image
The name, "Rhanukhan", written in Modern Rhanukhani script.

Rhanukhan was the name I created for an empire in my childhood games (rather boringly it means "land of the Rhanukhii" - a word I'd corrupted from the Rancor monster in "Return of the Jedi" because I thought it sounded cool at the time - "Rhanukhii" translates to "People of the Rivers").

The provincial capitals that appear on the map of the main nation and five colonies all take their names from those same childhood games and are either corruptions of real placenames or connected to the characters who founded them (except the island of Lehpuhrta which was a shameless rip-off of the flying island, Laputa, from "Gulliver's Travels". Yes, during last year's regional roleplaying, Lehpuhrta did become a flying island and is now no longer on our map ;)).

Well, Im not necessarily new...but this is a new nation...

When they made the new forums I decided I wanted to roleplay closer to home, so I stopped being "Skallvia" and began posting under Maurepas...

which is the original French Settlement at Biloxi, where I live:

No.

The sandwich is but an illusion, a veil obscuring a higher reality, remove yourself from it--and enter nirvana.

Excellent Quotes:
JJ Place wrote: just because an organization tells you that them taking money from you isn't theft because they have more rights than any other organization is one of the lamest arguments a person can utilize in a debate; saying that the government can do what it likes because it writes it's own law is intellectually dishonest, and flies in the face of all reality.
