It's fucking utterly ridiculous that the literature teacher gives us yet another piece of shit to learn until Monday! Four fucking days! For something that huge! I mean, does she honestly think that literature is that useful and needed? Pfft
And the thing is fucking huge, it's larger than that other poem I translated for James. And it has longer lines in the middle and end of the poem. 72 lines means I have to learn 18 lines a day, which means that I will be strained on the last days since the longer lines I will have to learn them.

Погиб поэт! — невольник чести —
Пал, оклеветанный молвой,
С свинцом в груди и жаждой мести,
Поникнув гордой головой!..

Не вынесла душа поэта
Позора мелочных обид,
Восстал он против мнений света
Один как прежде... и убит!

Убит!.. к чему теперь рыданья,
Пустых похвал ненужный хор,
И жалкий лепет оправданья?
Судьбы свершился приговор!

Не вы ль сперва так злобно гнали
Его свободный, смелый дар
И для потехи раздували
Чуть затаившийся пожар?

Что ж? веселитесь... — он мучений
Последних вынести не мог:
Угас, как светоч, дивный гений,
Увял торжественный венок.

Его убийца хладнокровно
Навел удар... спасенья нет:
Пустое сердце бьется ровно,
В руке не дрогнул пистолет.

И что за диво?.. издалёка,
Подобный сотням беглецов,
На ловлю счастья и чинов
Заброшен к нам по воле рока;

Смеясь, он дерзко презирал
Земли чужой язык и нравы;
Не мог щадить он нашей славы;
Не мог понять в сей миг кровавый,
На что́ он руку поднимал!..

И он убит — и взят могилой,
Как тот певец, неведомый, но милый,
Добыча ревности глухой,
Воспетый им с такою чудной силой,
Сраженный, как и он, безжалостной рукой.

Зачем от мирных нег и дружбы простодушной
Вступил он в этот свет завистливый и душный
Для сердца вольного и пламенных страстей?

Зачем он руку дал клеветникам ничтожным,
Зачем поверил он словам и ласкам ложным,
Он, с юных лет постигнувший людей?..

И прежний сняв венок — они венец терновый,
Увитый лаврами, надели на него:
Но иглы тайные сурово
Язвили славное чело;

Отравлены его последние мгновенья
Коварным шопотом насмешливых невежд,

И умер он — с напрасной жаждой мщенья,
С досадой тайною обманутых надежд.

Замолкли звуки чудных песен,
Не раздаваться им опять:
Приют певца угрюм и тесен,
И на устах его печать. —

*

А вы, надменные потомки
Известной подлостью прославленных отцов,
Пятою рабскою поправшие обломки
Игрою счастия обиженных родов!

Вы, жадною толпой стоящие у трона,
Свободы, Гения и Славы палачи!
Таитесь вы под сению закона,
Пред вами суд и правда — всё молчи!..

Но есть и божий суд, наперсники разврата!
Есть грозный суд: он ждет;
Он не доступен звону злата,
И мысли и дела он знает наперед.

Тогда напрасно вы прибегнете к злословью:
Оно вам не поможет вновь,
И вы не смоете всей вашей черной кровью
Поэта праведную кровь!


/rant :p

Anyways, I have to learn the fucking poem, as well as do French, algebra, chemistry and extra test on algebra. I mean, physics I don't have to do because we will be having a practical test and I'm usually good at that and French I will skip mostly because she said I don't have to do it due to the holidays even though I skipped a lesson last week.
But I'm also working on a world thingy on what's happened to the world in The Return universe, Lance can approve of it once I post it. Or not. I'll change it if you want.

Sindarin? What the fuck is that? In what country do they speak such unknown language?

Also, did you hear of the drug-abusing US soldiers in control of intercontinental missiles? Way to go US. :p

It's actually not too funny when you look into it, considering that they could've easily done some shit that would've started a war. Or worse.

I didn't bother translating that but do what I did. Criticize the entire education system and its incompetence. I got an award for that.

On second thought I don't suggest you do that, it was really a one-off state test which I dubbed my class/year as the guinea pig year.

In other news: coach in little league sues 14 year old player for medical fees after player threw his helmet down with his fellow players in celebration of their victory. The helmet struck the coach which tore his achilles tendon and is now demanding reparations for the cost and suffering he had to endure. Only in America -shake my head-

I can't 'trust' ya on that, simply because I'm bias to think Singapore education is just as good or better. -shrugs-
But what I can trust you on and agree is that any education system from a well developed country is always better than American education. The disparity here is laughable, the system is a failure and students have more rights than they actually know what to do with. Only in America.

Exactly. America's educational system gets fingers pointed at it from countries like not so developed Russia. Although Russia inherited the education from the USSR, it still tells something that a non-developed country has a better middle education than a 'superpower'.

I'm just waiting until China becomes superpower and kicks the US in the ass. Not a fan of China or its totalitarian government, but I dislike the US more.

This ok?

Outline of The Return World

UK- Currently under the control of the GEE, which brought economic stability and relative prosperity. All of the main characters are here. At war with France. The Grand English Empire is controlled by Emperor Sydomas, Prime Minister Megan Hunt and the parliament.

France- faces various economic problems and a small civil war in which the warring sides are nationalists, fascists and revolutionaries against immigrants and the government among others. Is hostile towards those it borders. Declared war on the GEE. Paris and Bordeaux are poverty-ridden slums of city-states, their condition worse than the pre-GEE London. France has lost all of its offshore territories except French Guiana, which is only de facto France, but in reality is a complete anarchy with its minuscule population.

Australia- Near anarchy, government manages to somewhat control the territory but cannot stop Japan from invading again and again. Due to the pre-crisis prosperous state of Australia and relative isolation, it doesn't face the overwhelming problems other countries face, but is in bad condition nevertheless.

Japan- Japan is divided into at least three states, one of them declaring war on Australia, China, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Koreas among others. Faces overwhelming difficulties of an ageing population, yet manages to somewhat conserve some of its economic dominance. The totalitarian Japan constantly wars with the two other, more democratic, parts of the country and other countries, notably Australia.

Germany

Germany faces an ageing population and bad relations with France as well as a declining economy and regular violent rioting. It is on the verge of splitting up into smaller states and city states. However it's military has somehow remained more or less intact.

USA

The US faces some of the most severe economic difficulties and rather extreme poverty, also having to keep in line a bloody civil war. It is far from democratic and the government occasionally kills those who oppose it in order to sustain some sort of order. New York and Los Angeles are failing cities that have the crime rate of some pre-crisis African states.

Nordic Countries: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Greenland

The Nordic Union is the last union or supranational organisation that hasn't collapsed and more or less had stayed intact. Although Finland is somewhat threatened by the semi-anarchic and militaristic Russia while Denmark and Sweden face an economic crisis and Greenland faces a pretty extreme shortage of supplies, Norway and Iceland are perhaps the only countries in the world that hadn't gone past the line, having reasonably good quality of living. However even these two countries cannot be considered well-off any more.

Russia

Russia is a crime-filled semi-anarchy which is having severe problems with maintaining its territory. Although attempts to boost the population were indeed successful starting from 2012, Russia faces a severe economic crisis. Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakstan and some Central Asian states fully rely on Russia. Moscow, Europe's largest city, faces extreme overpopulation problems as well as crime and poverty. Although Russia has allocated a lot of money to St Petersburg and most importantly Moscow, problems only got worse after riots started to happen on a yearly basis.

Mexico, Central America and the Carribean

Complete anarchy except Cuba, who is soon to follow the same fate.

South America

Northern South America is in a state of anarchy, although Venezuela does have control over some areas.
Brazil has managed to control only heavily populated areas, mainly the coast, while suffering extreme and severe poverty and economic crisis.
Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia are in a state of oblivion.
Chile, the most stable country on the continent, has managed to form a loose alliance with Argentina, who is on the other hand only getting worse. Uruguay now exists only in Montevideo and on the coast of the country.

China

Once the second largest single economy, China is walking on the edge of anarchy, having split up into many more states. Tibet and the far West are forgotten by the government, while poverty and disease plague the Chinese people, many having birth defects due to the pollution.

India

India is a complete anarchy and facing oblivion due to the never-stopping population increase and depletion of resources. Large cities face extreme poverty especially, but have some sort of government.

Western and Central Europe: Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and etc

Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy face a crippling economic crisis and near-anarchy. Switzerland has managed to stay afloat but faces widespread disorder and closed borders, as does(minus closed borders) Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary.

Baltic States

While Estonia may have fared better with its small population of only two million, it is nevertheless facing a serious economic crisis. Latvia and especially Lithuania are worse off, but have some sense of order.
Poland is near-anarchy.

New Zealand and Canada

Both states have managed to hold on to their territories and still have a government, but are experiencing a more than medium economic crisis like the rest of the world.

South East Asia

Complete anarchy and poverty, people face starvation and disease, especially Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia. Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia to a lesser extent.

Korea

Korea is near-anarchy.

Africa

Africa had the worst blow. While millions die of starvation and disease, the only forms of government left are Johannesburg & Pretoria Union, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Casablanca and Alexandria.

But what I can trust you on and agree is that any education system from a well developed country is always better than American education. The disparity here is laughable, the system is a failure and students have more rights than they actually know what to do with. Only in America.


Exactly. America's educational system gets fingers pointed at it from countries like not so developed Russia. Although Russia inherited the education from the USSR, it still tells something that a non-developed country has a better middle education than a 'superpower'.

I'm just waiting until China becomes superpower and kicks the US in the ass. Not a fan of China or its totalitarian government, but I dislike the US more.


If China becomes superpower. If China can.

Jess, could I add a story for Greece in the general outline? I have used it multiple times in this RP.

Greece

Unlike many other states, Greece has seen her economy a little on the rise since the Return. Golden Dawn, the extremist right-wing party, has abolished the parliament as 'A tool of the minority to control the majority'. The brutal Ethnikó symvoúlio, the National Council, rules with a proverbial Topaz fist, throwing all her enemies into ruin. They conscripted many into the army, and planned various public works to get the jobless back to an income. Within Greece, living conditions are not as bad as they could be. The Nevidian population has either been sent to labour camps, or has been exterminated. Some fled, some went into hiding. Under severe economic pressure, and the need to boost weapons production, Greece wants to look beyond its borders for more land.

But ok that's actually really good. I'll add the Balkans, Belgium and the Netherlands in as well.

Nope. Indonesia stays.

That's the way it truly would've been should such a crisis occur. ;)
Because, well, Indonesia is far from well-off and it is very dependent on other nations, for, as an example, its coffee and shit export. Who's going to buy that when countries don't give a shit about others since they have serious problems on themselves.

Indonesia can invade smaller countries, or experienced a change in government into Islamic government. I'm saying that at least, they will cause a significant incident to Australia if we will be transported from Glasgow to Australia.

No.

I'm actually fairly sure that even Australia's military is better than Indonesia.
Besides, Indonesia has no money and with such a huge population, most of whom are in poverty, it wouldn't be a stable government in the Return universe even if it hadn't fallen into an anarchy.
