There'll be a lot of Germans (Swiss-Germans... German-Americans...) those descended from German speakers in this RP. East Zilch is purty near close to Mexico.

My character can speak Karen.

Not the actual language; the "I would like to speak to the mayor" Karen. That Karen.

I have no problem with this. It's just that there's a lot of 'em. I know Germans were the biggest immigrant group around this time, but... I don't know. Maybe I do have a problem with this and just won't admit it.

OP takes a mental note. When he wants 2 NPCs talking about something that he doesn't want any of the players to know about, they will be speaking in Russian or Mandarin. :D

Hey, I'm trying to get back in, but it appears I was left hanging in terms of interaction. For reference, here is my last post. Apologies if something went over my head but I haven't been responded to, so is it ok if I make my next post anyway?

Sorry for any mistakes I make with regards to history while roleplaying in historical RPs. Also I am not a qualified historian or academic. None of the make-believe I do is likely to stand up to academic scrutiny.

Absolutely it's ok. If you weren't responded to, then either the character ignored you, or didn't hear, or something else that's funny. Write away!

Wow, school started really with a bang this autumn, which is why I've been unable to post. I'll have to see when I can get back into the RP, but I hope I adapt to my new schedule by next week, so I still can manage time and energy for NS. Sorry for leaving Billy and Jimmy hanging.

Well there are actually 2 Ideas.
1. An very Misterious man in an Robe (Maybe Cult or something like that)
2. Someone who accidentaly traveled in Time and has almost nothing from their Time to prove that it/he/she is from the Future...
As I said Ideas...

1. Ok. I could go with that.
2. Not in this RP, sorry. I'm trying to stay away from sci fi elements in this one.

Buenos Dias! Prepare for the Spanish invasion!
I use my NationStates stats, because a population of billions/trillions and an economy of hundreds of trillions is totally viable, trust me.
But seriously, aside from the population and GDP, just assume that my NS stats are roughly accurate.

Support: Paleo-imperialism, conservatism, libertarianism, Christianity.
Against: Stupid people, resistance to industrial progress, alt-right, any form of government at or beyond socialism.

I hail from The League of Conservative Nations. Hearts unthawed, hearts unshaken!

Exactly.

I know I have not posted in four score and seven years; that is 1000% my bad. Where is the story currently--ie, would Karen still be yelling at the mayor, or would she have moved on by now? Thank you!
