Flat Earth

[Kalaspia-Shimarata]

Does anyone in your nation belive the Earth is flat? Does EVERYONE in your nation belive the world is flat? In Kalaspia-Shimarata, the majority decision is that the Earth is round, but there are currently 5 Major Flat Earth societies operating against eachother which are perfectly normal, you know, what ever floats people's boats, just as long as they keep them in eachothers lagoons

[Swilatia]

...believe? No, pretty much all Swilatians know that the earth is round (spherical, whatever). We actually find it a bit difficult to believe that there are still people in the world who believe in such things as a flat earth... but then again, there are still people in the world who are creationists.

[Urmanian]

We've observed your planet from an interdimensional rift before we colonised a part of it, and we pretty much know that it's round.

[Strong-Badia the FREE]

Of course the Earth is flat, like a pancake.

[Romalae]

Romalae is unaware as to the existence of "Earth", and is thus unable to conclude whether or not it is round or flat.

[Cookesland]

Most people believe whatever this nation exists on is spherical.

[Maraque]

The vast majority of Tsvarchivans aren't complete morons, so they know the world is not flat.

[Malgrave]

The vast majority of Tsvarchivans aren't complete morons, so they know the world is not flat.

This. The Malgravean people often shun people with such idiotic ideas.

[Imeriata]

Do not be absurd, everyone knows that the universe is a big tree and midgård is round only a few number of cultures in the federation ever believed that the earth were flat, well only a few of the important ones anyway!

[Strong-Badia the FREE]

The vast majority of Tsvarchivans aren't complete morons, so they know the world is not flat.

Hey, we aren't complete morons!

And besides, the world is both round an flat. How so, you ask? Simple: It's shaped like a circle.

[Sovereign Spirits]

The populace of Sovereign Spirits is unconcerned with these matters.

[Hiralku]

They believe what I want them to believe. To them, the world is a trapezoid.

[Atalissa]

The vast majority of Tsvarchivans Atalissans aren't complete morons, so they know the world is not flat.

This. Most of us are intelligent enough, but once in a while, you get these idiots. We call 'em liberals.

[Maraque]

What an odd name. We call our idiots, well idiots.

[Atalissa]

What an odd name. We call our idiots, well idiots.

Local humor, friend. Of course they're idiots... or just hideously misinformed.

And besides, the world is both round an flat. How so, you ask? Simple: It's shaped like a circle.

No, it bloody well is not! It's a sphere, you imbeciles, a sphere! Get something right for once you... *Indignant Intellectual Rant #3571 - B.*

This, wait . . . No

Izzyerians know the world is round, a quick internet search and they can see the pictures for themselves.

[Imeriata]

This, wait... no .

you doubt modern Imerian science?

[Atalissa]

This, no .

you doubt modern Imerian science?

I doubt anybody who is willing to use "Imerian" and "science" in the same sentence, unless it is "Imerian people have no understanding of modern science."

Nothing personal, obviously.

[Lykosia]

Everyone knows that the earth is round, except those so-called conspiracy theorists and their followers.

[Yvenia]

Yvenian trigonometry and physics have proven that the world is spherical despite the lack of global circumnavigation attempts by the Royal Navy. We know it is spherical, or else we would be able to see a speck of the far side of a flat planet.

[Rabinovska]

No.

We have globes to look at the earth, so we know.

Bahh and humbug, our science is based on tradition and the religious teachings of old so it cannot be wrong

[Atalissa]

Bahh and humbug, our science is based on tradition and the religious teachings of old so it cannot be wrong

That's not modern science. It's ancient superstitions and the methods of those who didn't know how to find the answers and were afraid to confess to a lack of knowledge!

Theories as theories and most of our subjects prefer theories that makes sense

Same goes for Havanu.
