Although by NS stats, Kowani is the best nation to live in out of all the NSG regulars, so I’m taking pride in that whenever a hyperpower comes along.

Going through all the stats that actually matter, Geniviev would be my second choice for not an utter craphole.

Oh Genevieve, I'd give the world
To live again the lovely past!
The rose of youth was dew-impearled
But now it withers in the blast.

I see thy face in ev'ry dream,
My waking tho'ts are full of thee
Thy glance is in the starry beam
That falls along the summer sea.

cho: Oh Genevieve, sweet Genevieve,
The days may come, the days may go
But still the hands of mem'ry weave
The blissful dreams of long ago

It's not winter. It's only a little over a month this summer turned into autumn. :(

I’m on a Discord server with a bunch of southeasterners. I casually mention the temperature and they flip out. I don’t care what they say. 60 degrees isn’t cold.

No, 60c would be infernally hot.

I'm pretty sure I made existing illegal in my country -- actually, I do remember having banned breathing in an issue awhile back -- but that's mostly because the name only works ironically. I do have other nations where I play more in-line with my actual nature.

Yeah, it boils at 100 or something. What kind of arbitrary number is that? Next, you’ll be telling me that one linear system of measurement is more efficient that spouting random numbers and multiplying them! Ha! What a joke!

Oh, how we laughed when Anders Celsius said, "Okay, so ... the freezing point of water will be 100 and the boiling point will be zero ..." That's when we took the akvavit away from him.

Yes, who needs logic when you can just point at any random spot and begin counting.

That's one way to lower your carbon footprint.

My two puppets exist as forum gags honestly. And I only every really use the Farnhamian Guards since I never get a chance to use the other one.

Yeah, exactly.

In all seriousness, though, although I agree metric is mostly better than imperial, I have to say, I like Fahrenheit. 0 is at the lowest temperature a human is built to withstand, 100 is at the highest. That way, when I see 50, I know it’s between cold and hot, instead of having to look at 10-something and think “Yes, this is average temperature.” Not ever using the part of the scale that goes above 30 just feels wrong, doesn’t it?
