Because bikes dominate the streets, the few cars that pass are seen with cyclists hanging on so that they may stop pedaling for a while.

Some people might find the pervasivness of American popular culture in a society which is otherwise cuturally Russian somewhat unsettling.

Cenetra has liberal free speech laws, and media and general speech are more focused on "have the bravery to speak your mind" than "make sure you never say ANYTHING that offends ANYONE.

As a consequence, most foreign visitors are offended less than an hour after arrival. If they use the internet, this time shortens to five minutes.

The deity of Equalization and Anarcho-Communism will sometimes manifest itself as an amber-eyed wolf the size of a pony and telepathically discuss having people uphold its virtues in exchange for a universal adjustment in their favor, luck being absurdly on their side as long as keep with the ideals of the great Shen Junghen.

Also, the government hates him with a burning passion, and will do their best to kill off those he chooses.

A shock, no?

It may surprise some people to know that Czardaians aren't particularly shocked to find that your nation consists entirely of dragons, or female nudists, or gun enthusiasts; or is oppressed under some pointlessly brutal regime, or enjoys an arguably excessive degree of social freedom.

We may draw certain conclusions about the persons who devised such societies in the first place, sure, but we won't find it all that shocking. :p

Only if you consider the fact that young boys are trained in "survival skills" (fishing, hunting, shooting, etc...) by their Dad's as early as 5. And that by 13, they must be able to fend for themselves in the wild for 1 week.

I agree, he is cool.

And no, he's not like Ktulu, as he is currently able to interact with the world, though generally only by making slight changes to manipulate people, however he is omniscient, and is static throughout time. Meaning he knew exactly as much in 1601 as he does now, so he knows exactly what he needs to manipulate and when in order to make sure things go according to plan. The only thing which interferes is human will, and there's not a whole lot that he can do to counter that.

I just started an RP which is heavily centered around 'em, so join that. DO IT.

I can't be expected to understand the minds of inferior beings. However, it often shocks me that other nations need so many...laws...

Here in 1337 G4M3R5 we have only one real law...don't get caught breaking the law...the "law" being whatever the MPs and random civilians decide is worth enforcing at any given time.


Unless you're in the military, because if you are...Ronald help you if you so much as think about engaging in even a minor infraction against military code...
