Everything outside your house has been claimed by the Baltic. Don't check though, there's monsters. Communist monsters.

This is Berlin. If I'd let the communist monsters scare me I'd never get anything done.

For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Titles are not democratically voted upon. They are ruthlessly and tyrannically imposed by the Moderation staff. And we like it that way.

The funny part is only half of the Khans of Spam are TET regulars. Post Czars are far more likely to be TET regulars with no fewer than 20 of them having been TET regulars at one time or another. The only Post Overlord is TET however.

Currently pondering such useful thoughts like "Would introduction of ubiquitous gunpowder weapons into fantasy world make witchers or similar professions obsolete and without work, or would there still be role for them in the gunpowder fantasy world." :p
