Hello, I'm Central and Eastern Visayas. My real name, however, is Alistair--Al, for short. I'm a 19-year-old college student in Cebu, Philippines. I am Roman Catholic--yes, hate on me for that all you want, I've heard them all, thank you very much! :mad: --and I have conservative and libertarian leanings. I first met this site in TvTropes (handle: redrosary) and from there it snowballed. Now, I have a puppet called Kamaynilaan used as a sort of protest against how my home country is mismanaged... PNoy really thinks PH is his personal fiefdom, doesn't he?

I really should be working on my advanced organic chemistry assignment... :meh:

If believing in God means I am less than human in the eyes of some, fine; I will wear my yellow badge with pride.

Hello! You can call me Brent (my nickname), Eadmund (another nickname of mine), or simply by my nation's name. I have several friends who play NationStates and it was they who introduced me to it. I live in the USA, but I was born in the UK. I was brought up in a nonreligious Christian family (Anglican), though I now am a Secular Humanist. However I love to learn about religions, and there are few religions I do not know the basics about.
I am an Eco-Socialist, and Environmentalist, as I believe the environment is important and that we need to protect it. I enjoy spending time in nature.
Right now I am in love with Adele, Example and Lady Gaga.
One of my favourite hobbies is reading. Some of my favourite books are The Penguin of Death (Monkton) 1984 (Orwell), La Nausée (Sartre), The Idiot (Dostoyevsky), War and Peace (Tolstoy), The Harry Potter Series (Rowling), The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald), The Prince (Machiavelli), The Republic (Plato), and Even Silence has an End (Betancourt).

Hi I'm GPN.
I started a while ago. Back when Fass and Eutrusca were kicking around. I went away for a while, married a mystical dragon lady from the orient, divorced a mystical dragon lady from the orient, then fell in love with a porn star and travelled the world with her.

I'm still doing the last part.

Hello! I'm re-new, so I thought I'd re-introduce myself. :D
Sorry to people if I kind of disappeared. Things were pretty crazy early this year. I did a few RPs here that were pretty fun, and I'm interested in picking this game back up again. I've been doing a lot of work on my factbook page, updating it.

Well hello there o/
I am Hippostania, but you may call me Hippo.. And belive me, spelling Hippostania seems incredibly difficult for some people ;D
I'm a high school student from the town of Tampere, Finland. I'm a liberal conservative with neoconservative tendencies, an eurofederalist and a member of the Finnish National Coalition Party. I am interested in history, politics and society in general.. and ponies, of course!
I'm a teetotalist, I can speak Finnish, English, French and Swedish, I dislike snow, winter and coldness in general. I also like bacon.
And finally, I'm good at making people angry :3

I'm a high school student from Warsaw, Poland. I'm interested in politics, history, and economy, as well as in music and in football. I'm socially moderate (my views are considered centre-left here in Poland, but probably would be considered centre-right in many Western European countries) and economically leftist. I used to be more liberal about both social and economic issues, so, considering the direction of my political evolution so far, there's a risk that in a few years I'll become a Maoist or a Nazi ;)

Oh, and I'm interested in cultures and history of Africa, and I've been reading about it quite much recently. This contrasts a bit with my utter hatred for heat (which for me means any temperature above 20 degrees Celsius).

What else should I write here? Food? OK. My favourite cuisines are Balkan, Italian, and Mexican. What music do I listen to? Iron Maiden, Guns n' Roses, System of a Down, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Johnny Cash, Gogol Bordello, Kult, Hunter, Phil Ochs, Queen, Bob Marley and many other artists.

As you may have observed, I like informing fellow NSers about Poland, correcting their Polish mottoes, etc. So, if you have any questions about my country, I will be more than welcome to answer :)

Salutations, my name is Jinos. Short and simple. I actually derived my name from a planet in a sci-fi roleplay I was doing a long time ago. I'm a college student in The Bear Flag Republic California, Sacramento county area. I'm a liberal libertarian, basically fall into a -.25, -.25 on your standard 4-point political scale. Except I don't really like to associate with libertarianism, since it's mostly been hijacked by kooky right wingers, and anarchists. I mostly identify as a Progressive. My idols are really Teddy Roosevelt, basically the mascot of Progressivism at its height, and Cenk Uygur, a modern progressivist news anchor.

Technically I I'm not 'new' to NSG. Since I was here before NS2 was launched. I migrated over there for awhile, until it closed. When it did I just quit NSG and moved to TvTropes. And then I eventually quit TvTropes and moved back here. So I'll give it a few months and maybe see if I move to a new forum.

I'm mostly interested in computer, Poly Sci, history, and writing classes. I hate math and english. I spend a lot of time on the internet, watching anime, and playing D&D, both modern versions. I build and paint Gunpla sometimes. I hate spring because of my bad allergies. I love winter weather. Which sucks because in California, winter is like, a month shorter then it should be. And I prefer Japanese bands to American. (Bieber can go fuck himself). I speak no other language other then English, and I have no inclination to learn another one, like math mostly because I suck at understanding the mechanics of English grammar.

I'm Meso, I'm fairly new to NS but I already know all the ins and outs of the game, and I like to think I'm fairly well known around here! :p
I hate Cats and Futurama, but I like Dogs and Family Guy... And that's all.
Oh, and I'm British, but for the ease of use of our many American players, I tend to use Americanizations!

Hello. I'm Mike. I am a 31 year old former US Marine (2001-2005) and recent graduate of University of North Carolina (BA in Philosophy and Political Science). I am currently preparing to relocate to Southern Louisiana to work offshore drilling platforms. My political views are radically minarchist, but please don't ever lump me in with the Tea Party guys - they do not represent my political interests at all. Anyways, that's me I guess.

Hey everyone. I'm Kyle, 25, from Wales. I'm a physics graduate, atheist, somewhat libertarian, and a bit of a trivia buff. My first language is English, and I'm currently learning Japanese (despite being Welsh, I can't speak the language). Musically, I tend to like stuff like post-rock and IDM, although I'll listen to just about anything if I like it.

I'm Peter, and I am 22, taking a break from uni (tried Philosophy and a few other subjects) I am basically as radical as it comes (my ideas are without a doubt divisive and drive people up the wall), before violent revolution. I eschew popularity, and national identity (without a doubt I am a political heretic aka internationalist :p ) for the confidence of a few close friends and family members, as a result most people on NS can't stand me. Figures. Trying to take up writing, but its hard...especially since my computers keep dying on me (I wrote one chapter each for three novel concepts then the computer died). :palm:

Hello all! As this is the general forum I guess I'm not in character, so I'm an English girl who played this game many moons ago (and was very active on the forum). I recently (like today) remembered it and wondered why I left, as I met so many interesting people through it. They all appear to have left now (some I'm still in contact with on Facebook etc) but I assume the rest of you are interesting too. ;)

Glad to be back. I enjoy playing the game on its basic level, not a hardcore role-player!

Hello. My name is J. Pronounced "jay" unless you have any better suggestions. I am a dude, unfortunately, and reside in the ironically-named Empire State which is really quite lovely if you ignore all the dickheads. Luckily most of them are concentrated around New York City which I make a habit of avoiding. I own two printers, both of which are evil, and my closet seems to generate distressingly large quantities of clothing on its own, most of which I never seem to wear. Most importantly, I love the universe and everything in it. Except printers. It's a safe bet they're plotting something.

I have been here since 2004 so I don't really need to introduce myself again but threads like this have a magnetic influence on me, at least until they run headfirst into my short attention span.

Hey look, a bunch of replies!

That's half the appeal of it.

Most of us are normal deep down, we just choose to introduce ourselves with outlandish things like "I have size 9 feet and a birthmark shaped like norway" instead of normal things like "I'm a Christian" in order to make ourselves come across as more interesting in the vain (see what I did there?) hope of getting attention.

HEY LOOK AT ME I'M IMPORTANT
