Old memes were somethin' else. A lot of them hit just the right spots for me to like them mostly unironically, in a fascinating ironic sort of way.

You should talk to this guy:

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.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

The first meme was invented by their namesake Johnny Meme, who famously came to the realization that cats were funny after seeing one stuck in a tree.

I know, right? They most certainly don't make esoteric memes such as "[CELEBRITY] ATE MY BALLS" anymore.

Tbf some surreal/esoteric memes can be quite funny even to those who don’t really know the context.

Oh, and why did I find the “[CELEBRITY] ATE MY BALLS” thing funny. I think my humour is degrading.

That's not it. You are just becoming aware of the true nature of what you call your sense of humour while the years progress.

This is precisely while blocking recruitment TGs in the settings is the very first thing I do whenever I create a new nation. ^^
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

Yeah, I have memories of what it was like before I figured out how to block them. I was like, "When does it stop?! When does it stop?! Heeeelp!"
