NationStates

What are some odd facts about your nation? Post them here whenever you want. I'll start with one of Smoya's:

Illegal Immigrants: Watch out! Nearly 1% of the population serves in border patrol. This landmark was reached with Jonathan Pitt as leader.

90% of Vampirum citizens sleep in coffins. Normal for us, unusual for most of the world.

The Prime Minister's car is older than she is.

There are no natural forests left within our national borders.

Puppies are sometimes used as currency

There is a federal law that states "You can't see me".

Our Nation Sometimes Gets Mixed Up with Diana the Umbreon Because We Both Have a Forested North-West

The Prime Minster enjoys biting his tongue.

We are a nation with 4 rebels factions surrounding us. Excluding Bigtopia or Maxtopia and with a dynasty with different titles over the century (El Presidente, President, Generalissimo, King, Emperor)

In the first few years after secession from Belgium, Liège still recognized King Albert I of Belgium, and later Leopold III, as its head of state (hence why it is a Principality, not a Kingdom.) This was only rectified when, in the beginnings of World War 2, Liège began to annex large portions of Belgium with help from nations such as the Netherlands. At this point, the Liège Parliament voted to name Jean-Claude Vauclain as Prince.

Our national animal occasionally decapitates citizens lost in the forests by using Razor Leaf

Tridoxia has a small main island but has over 100 million people living on it.

I Sometimes Shoot Lazy People to Get them To Work

We are boring. It does not seem odd, but compared to other nations, we are oddly very-very-very boring.

One of the four races of the Allied Stellar States is a humanoid-fungoid crossover which has yet to have any similar lifeforms found despite massive exploratory efforts with unmanned drones.

The President has the ability to proclaim national holidays, foods, drinks, animals, mottos and songs without consulting anyone. So basically his favorite things are the nation's as well. Also, creationists are forced to watch documentaries about Charles Darwin until they convert to evolution.

Our standing army is slightly more than 1% of the population. When the Air Force is factored out, that number drops to slightly less than one-fifth of a percent.

our people are actually a race of Blue human aliens who come from a planet in the large magellanic cloud, we used to own a gaint space Empire which we seek to reclaim.

Our political party is constructed to fit all types of political positions to prevent the dominance of one party. The Centrist Party is really just an array of independents that are referred to as centrists.

Before Wilhelm Stephinev came to power as the head of the Central Intelligence Agency of Luziyca in 2003, the head of the CIA, Gregory Markof, was a pedophile and had bunga bunga parties involving young children, which was exposed in 2003. He was tried in 2004, and he now languishes in jail, for life with parole in 30 years (in 2034). Considering Gregory served as the head from 1982 to 2003, and was 71 when he was tried, he'll likely die in prison.

As for the bunga bunga parties, think those with Berlusconi, but with multiple young children, held over a time span of 21 years.

The leader of Void is called the Corona, which is basically the same as a king or queen.

Quirina is not a single nation. It is composed of many kinds of nations and states, and each country is entitled to be independent. What is odd is that the Government had never settled for a formal and official name of the country because of such diverse economies and governments it manages. So, they resorted to be formally called "Quirina" to ease up such complicated case.

Fact: All of Smoya's states are named after signers of the Declaration of Independence and constitution.

The only 2 Federal Provinces are separated by land so we have two governments that elect the candidates to President which is elected by the people.

St. Lucoa is a BritIsh Overseas Territory, but has only been visited by a reigning monarch twice, the first being King George VI and the second being Queen Elizabeth II.
