True, on both counts. It's been 22 years ... well, in October ... since we left. Our regular bar doesn't even exist anymore.

Well, in three days I'll be able to say I was alive 22 years ago.

Well, actually, I can say now that I was alive 22 years ago - based on my limited understanding of that science.

So I kinda worked how my semi-monarchy is gonna work in a socialist-influenced nation:
The monarch as the embodiment of the proletariat. The means of production are collectively owned by the people, in whom sovereignty resides; however, that sovereignty is delegated to the monarch, who holds the means of production in trust for the people and manages the economy for the greater good. The monarch would, in doctrinal terms, be a servant of the people, much as a party secretary or president might be, and his power to rule would be contingent upon his exercise of that power in the collective interest. In other words, it's like the mandate of heaven, but in a more atheist sense, and the monarch would have the right to rule because they embodies the people and their aspirations, and only so long as they continues to do so.


This probably makes no sense, but hey my nation isn't fully socialist so it's some bizzaro form of everything :p

For one, primarily because of my complete commitment to my faith. I'm on here on NSG because I love preaching my faith to people.

Also because I have this same name on my discord, YouTube channel, and Twitter. Thought it be nice that I have a universal name

Also, Jolthig has rather several embarrassing posts built up over the years that I'd rather not have attached to on an account that's dedicated to preaching and debating. After all, I am a convert on my third year.

Then of course, this is a symbolic way of myself expressing deeper commitment to my faith.

With that said, how is everyone in here? Hope nobody made too much trouble in my month long absence.:p

Though I'll be absent again in may for a month due to Ramadan.

The only social media that I never have come back to is Facebook. I'm never coming back there. EVER.

NSG should be proud that I have an attachment to it.

And tbh, when I left NS for the first time back in 2015-2016, I had dreams of myself playing Nationstates and it made me miss the site more so I came back lol.

NS is life.
