You know that you are Vystercian when.....

You like beer, but not wine, though your Italian emigrant neighbor feels the opposite and you don't think any less of him for that.
You eat large potions of meat and other fatty foods, but you also work it off because you have to keep in good fighting trim.
You think that boxing is kind of tame.
You walk by two men dueling and think nothing of it.
You dueled twice last week yourself, both times with a saber instead of a pistol.
You walk by the justice of the peace, who is jogging because he is so bored with the lack of litigants that he has to occupy his time.
You slept with his wife last week, the J.P. knows it, and doesn't care, because he slept with yours the month before.
Duels are never about women...they are about politics or accusations of false or dishonest practices, such as financial chicanery.
You visited Nasucropolis last month and had to bring along some beer, because there aren't a lot of taverns in Nasucrea.
You swim like a fish and drink like one, too.
You're familiar with the taste of seal, because you eat them once a year.
You love opera and don't think it effeminate. Ballet, on the other hand, you simply tolerate for the ballerinas.
You have a secret crush on Julia Trassi, the nation's most popular opera singer.
You have 3 wives, all of whom know about your secret crush and think it charming.
You have about 8 children, though some of them might have different biological fathers. You don't care, because you have probably stuck other men with your babies at some point as well.
You own a landed estate and think nothing of inviting the peasants over to dinner on regular occasion.
You have "Lord" in front of your name, but it isn't short for Baron or Count or Marquis. Despite being an aristocrat, you have cousins who are entertainers and even merchants.
Some of the toughest guys that you know are eunuchs, and that in a country renowned for its military prowess.
The words "feminism", "Empress", and "matriarchy" have inherently negative connotations to you.
The phrase "soccer mom" is synonymous with "cougar" and "MILF" and you have refereed matches primarily to meet the mothers who fanatically attend them.
You're a soccer mom who still attends your son's matches religiously, even though he is now 21 and a professional player. You've slept with every player in his club and half of the cheerleaders.

You know that you are Late Imperial Roman....

Postby Late Imperial Rome » Thu Aug 05, 2010 10:13 am

...when...

You've been divorced 6 times, and you've just turned 30.
You have 9 children, only 3 of them from wedlock.
You've met the Empress Lucia (widow of the late Emperor Titus) and slept with her.
She was a virgin, despite being married to the late Emperor for 8 years.
You have 4 concubines and 3 slave girls that you care about.
You met the bishop of the local Christian church at an orgy, and he was too busy to worry about you seducing his mistress.
You drink only with meals, and that is considered temperance by cultural standards.
You regularly argue with the town Stoic and then play dice with him.
Your argument was because he told you that people think you're "a bit old-fashioned for not liking boys".
You joked that you're saving all of the catamites for the philosophers, which ended the argument.
You think that bulimia is a growing social menace and wonder why the Emperor hasn't taken stronger measures against this epidemic.
You think that the new Emperor shows promise, even if he is "a bit obsessed with eradicating Christianity". Those are your words.
Your net worth is considered so high that you've been appointed to the municipal senate, and you resent the fact because it means that you have to make up any revenue shortfall from your own purse.
You have 4 villas, and so many slaves that you can't possibly know all of their names.
You're considered extremely old-fashioned because you've served in the army, despite having a wealthy background. You're admired in a "I couldn't face that, but I respect him for doing so" way.

You know that you are Nasucrean when....

Your divorce papers say, "reason for dissolution: spousal oppression and double standards", and the guilty party is your ex-wife.

You saved a female cousin's life once, and she repaid you by having you castrated.

You hate all feminists and half of your female relations with a passion. The other half you merely mistrust.

You've been flogged by an ex-wife, not to mention humiliated.

You paid her back by reporting her for trial once the Dominion fell.

She was flogged and humiliated herself as a punishment. Then you got your divorce.

The City Hall in your town has thousands of painters and sculptors at work, replacing matriarchal images with more male-friendly ones.

The legal code has been drastically changed in your lifetime, to your advantage, and yet you are still paranoid about your female neighbors.

You prefer dating a eunuch, not because you're gay, but because you can trust him not to abuse or humiliate you. He feels the same about you.

75% of the intact men in your town are single or divorced, and the other 25% are foreigners.

You still don't drink, because you're too paranoid to dull your wits even slightly.

You're constantly worried about the "vanishing Nasucrean", yet you are reluctant to help solve the problem by mating with a Nasucrean woman. Those foreign gals, however, sound promising.

You're hyper-political, mostly out of fear of the matriarchy somehow returning.

You still secretly oppose the expansion of the franchise to women....you think that it's too soon after the downfall of the Nasucrean matriarchy.

Your best friend was killed by a fascist and your uncle by a Maoist. Naturally, both are scum in your eyes.

The student radicals that are left in your neighborhood are busy cleaning up debris as part of their "hard labor" sentence.

Prince Sergan and King Ar-Yos I are your idols. The monarchy to you is a great institution.

Princess Veronica is the one woman whose word is completely reliable to you, and you have a secret crush on Her Highness.

You've entertained thoughts of a mail-order bride (or two) from a country willing to export them.

You're a woman and you've been punished for past spousal abuse.

You're a woman who is still a virgin because none of the men in town trust your kind.

You're a woman who has taken to lesbianism, because only women understand your frustration with menfolk.

You're a woman and you're tired of men not trusting you, even if you know why.

You're a woman who has been punished severely for castrating men. Now, you're a social pariah to even your fellow women.

My boredom has been marginally productive.

You know you're Santherese...
if you have two choices about where to live: the city, or the rainforest
when you wear threadbare or sheer clothing because you can't handle the weather otherwise
if wearing solid black is not stereotypically "cool," it's stereotypically "dumb"
if you consider violet to be the color of death
when you're a civilian who could legally own RPG, but decided against it because the gendarmerie is guaranteed to be better armed than you
if you bemoan racism in foreign nations, but look the other way when white Santherese are discriminated against
if you have a score of people in your "immediate family" and consider several hundred to be "close relatives"
when you think being a good Catholic involves donating to a family planning center, not going to mass
if, for that matter, you view mass as a social or artistic event more than spiritual
... but you do consider yourself Catholic
if you pretended to be an artist just to see if you could get a permit for public nudity, and you succeeded to your chagrin as you realized you have no relevant artistic ability
when you know you can legally use heroin, but don't know a single person who can legally produce, sell, trade, gift, or transport the drug
when no one even notices that you're in public without any sort of top
when there is 1 season where you live
... or there are 730, and you call them "nighttime" and "daytime"
when you consider defaulting to a masculine gendered noun or pronoun to be distasteful
if you're expected to take a sip of any drink you offer your guests, from the container you offered it in
if you expect a good opera to make use of a drum machine
if you speak four or more languages fluently, and aren't quite sure which count as native
if you think the concept of a "drive through" restaurant is appalling
when concern for the rainforest stops you from having a child
when you drink, you do it right



You know you're a noble...
if you were adopted at age 50 by a 20-year-old
if your name is preceded by a title like "conteasa" and you feel worse off for it
if you're famous and people still ask "which one?" because a hundred other famous people share your name
if the majority of the cost of a meal at a restaurant is from tipping the server
... and the host(ess)
... and the cook
... and the busser
when you're looking forward to that marriage your family helped arrange for you
if you honestly expect your cause of death to be poisoning
when the concept of being "fashionably late" is a social requirement for you
when someone refers to your "family's house" and they aren't talking a place you've ever lived in
when you are a member of one of the most powerful families in the entire region, along with a couple hundred thousand other people
if your household name is a household name


You know you're a common...
if you're a little relieved to not have a title, honestly
if you like school and are excited to attend university
when you are given two choices after secondary school: go to university, or join the military
if you join the military for the university course credits
if people don't immediately recognize your surname
when you don't vote for any politicians, but this actually makes sense to you
if you would never consider an arranged marriage for yourself
if you actually care that the government spends its money on some ridiculous things

Up on the housetop Santhbots pause;
Peace torn apart by steely claws!
Does it bring gifts of fun and games?
Nay, 'tis the king of acid rains!
Where can we flee from Santhbot's path?
No place is sheltered from his wrath!
Cyborg horror of the skies,
Flee! Save your children! Santhbot rides!

You know that you are Xyrxian when:

- You have a relative who remembers life before the national language existed.
- Travelling long distances via amphibious vehicle or cable car doesn't seem odd in the slightest.
- You know a couple of people who work full-time as philosophers, and they tell you the money's good.
- You've witnessed your grandfather duelling against teenage kids in poetry battles.
- Meeting older relatives in another part of the country requires a few hundred hours of study to understand them.
- A 'luxury holiday' involves not sleeping in a hut, instead of a tent.
- Many of your fond memories took place in a Union Hall.
- You wake up at 0:00 and go to bed at 6:00, and meeting up at 4:90 isn't an odd occurrence. When people ask you about AM or PM, you are bewildered.
- When you ask someone to marry you, you present them not with a ring, but with a book of memories.
- Meeting with friends to watch 5 metric hours of chess sounds like great fun.
- Lute players get all the groupies.

Poland Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Supermarine Spitfires IN SPACE! Tripods included. Wikistates Article

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the Moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy, United States of Lyra, Ursa Major Treaty Organization, 1961
