Hi, my name is Chris, I'm a joint International Relations and Modern History major here at the University of St. Andrews.

Despite being Californian born and raised, I'm a hard core libertarian who tends to swing towards republicans in elections. However, if you ask me I don't like democracy too much, and wish we could hurry up and find a way to effectively implement a benevolent dictatorhsip or meritocracy already. I'm trying to run my nation like a benevolent dictatorial meritocracy.

Being a 40k gamer, addiction to Games Workshop's plastic crack absorbs a good chunk of my free time and disposable income, but with what I have left, I tend to buy books, especially of a military historical nature. I fancy myself a future arm chair general, and I tend to enjoy the reading. I also spend a lot of time online, favorite sites being here and TV Tropes.

Favourite Books: Sum of All Fears, Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, At Dawn We Slept, Brave New World, Anthem
Favourite TV Shows/Anime: Mythbusters, Colbert Report, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Axis Powers Hetalia, Star Trek: TNG Star Trek: DS9
Favourite Movies: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Room (for snarking of course) War Games, most anything by Mel Brooks.

Hello forum :blush:

My name is Radu, I am from the Netherlands with Romanian ancestry, which means I often roam the night in search of young maidens, so that I may drink their blood and steel their wallet :p

People who meet me in real life think I'm fun to hang around with, but for some reason also think that I'm batshit insane! 8)

I am very interested into both politics and history, but to many of you americans my views might be warped and evil, because I am a Slavophile and Romanophile (is that even a word?) and radically anti-US (when it comes to your government, not her people)

Likes: Politics, History, Russia, Romania, Slavic people, Eastern Orthodox christianity, Role play (many kinds, hehe :roll: )

Dislikes: People who think Romanians are f-ing gypsies >:( , Israël, US foreign policy, ignorant people, scientologists and other totalitarian cults.

Yo.

If you hadn't noticed I'm Shihon, I am new to the forums, but have been playing for a little longer than that...

I tend towards more liberal policies, but it does vary, I could called a moderate at best. I am an agnostic atheist, and a vegetarian by choice, I enjoy reading, my taste varies from genre to genre, but I do gravitate towards anything with excessive amounts of combat, whatever the weapon.
I believe that covers it all, hopefully I'll find my self in a good argument before long. :p

Hi! I'm Panita. I lurk sometimes, post sometimes - whatever works, really. I was on here a year or two back with a nation whose name I forget - literally (that's why I didn't resurrect them). But I never went on the forum with that nation. Anyway. I am Australian, female and a full time student. I am generally pretty good academically. I play piano. I have a cat, and I like to spin (top whorl drop spindle). Oh - and my full list of puppets:
Panitian Isles
Napita
Napita II
Napita III
Napita IV
Napita V
Napita VI
Napita VII
Napita VIII
Napita IX

If you notice an odd sense of deja vu there - the napita's are all colonies of the original Napita. They all come from a slightly different slant - i.e. Napita is the original evil (my goal is to get it to a "Psychotic Dictatorship"), Napita II is full on capitalist, Napita III is an anarchy, Napita IV is heading towards communist etc. I don't have anything particular against most of these methods of government, they're just not how I would rule a country. I am left-leaning. And this post is getting too long. So I think I'll stop.
Yeah.

*EDIT* Cause I can't stop writing. I love reading. I dislike organised sport - walking and pilates are more my thing. I like music. Also gardening. One of my most prized possessions is a deluxe edition of the Lord of the Rings. And this will be the end.

Hm, well I already made a post on the forums but I guess late is better than never.

Well, I'm Fatae, I typically lean towards libertarian/liberal (http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-1.75&soc=-1.74) in the political spectrum.

I'm from California; I'm eighteen as of the moment of this post and still am a student in High School (albeit in a continuation school for the next week or so). I'm currently thinking that I'll go into law and eventually politics when I'm older. My reason for wanting to go into these fields is that I've been told by the few persons who have read my writings (who all happen to be the teachers at my continuation school :rofl: ) that I'm rather good with my arguments, and I've always had a world conqueror side to me, so why not.

I typically read books on war related topics, such as (not surprising) The Art of War and The Prince. I'm currently looking into reading some more of these kinds of books, but for now I consider the latter two to be decent enough.

As for TV, I don't actually watch it very often anymore. I used to watch King of the Hill and Futurama a lot, but those are canceled, I don't find the Simpsons to be as funny as it used to be, and I generally only watch the rest of that Fox programming to kill time.

Male,Turkish,Liberal,Leftist(since i can be socialist at one moment then anarchist the next). Enjoy all things military and all sorts of weapons from the past till now and even fictional ones. Love history and science. I am a muslim.

TV wise i only like to watch the sci-fi channel,military channel,history channel,science channel,discovery channel and national geographic channel. I have a nice amount of books(120+) with most as action or history novels plus some other biographies and nonfiction books about wars and military equipments. I'm now reading "Das Kapital" in english,The communist manifesto,animal farm and a biography on Mao Zedong. Music wise i listen to anything i believe has a good beat though i place emphasis on instruments more than voice or lyrics so classics tend to be on the top of my list,followed by rock(or metal).

I'm good at debates(always tend to hit them unexpectedly and very hard),love giving public speeches(gave one today at school) and strategy games(video or board).
I RP With:MT(5 billion) and FT(25 Billion)[may change]

[size=150][/size] The Confederacy of Zemanova protests the programmer's characterization of "IRON FISTED SOCIALISTS" and the bogus claims that we are choked with bureaucracy. The programmer appears to be woefully ignorant of the functioning of noncoercive, voluntary associations such as Anarcho-Syndicalist Confederacies, which we are. We are not frakken socialists. We demand the opportunity to edit our own description. This TOTALITARIAN DESPOTISM of the programmer must end.

Zenophas is Zeno is Zeno. :]

Zeno doesn't roleplay. Zeno is not confident in writing skills, as well as a few other things intelligence related, to do so without encountering trouble. Zeno instead run Art thread thingy, which Zeno updates with Images, literature, and music off and on, when Zeno feels like it.

Zeno was born on November 30, 1992. She was to be aborted because of foreseen neurological problems. However, parents digressed from the doctor's reccommendation and gave birth to her anyways VIA c-section. This was done because Zeno was a transverse lie baby. Zeno was to be born with autism (or Downs Syndrome?). However, the only symptoms she carried after birth were crossed eyes which were later fixed, cosmetically, with eye surgery.

Zeno doesn't care about politics much and quite frankly, sees it as more of a danger and a joke, than something to get involved in. Which is why Zeno doesn't often engage in debates, or arguments in general. However, in the rare cases in which Zeno does engage in debates in arguments Zeno usually loses and, or, confuses the other participants. However, usually, Zeno will back out of an argument or debate. This is probably due to lack of opinion, a submissive attitude, or just apathy.

Zeno is also not very in tune with reality, so things that might seem blatantly obvious to you, things such as common sense, might be unknown to Zeno. So, if Zeno says or asks about something odd, that's probably why. Lack of socialization, bad communication skills, and poor grip on reality sort of make grasping some concepts difficult. But once Zeno learns about things she tends to remember them pretty well, if they're interesting.
