Well, the Tatrans probably will not get along very long with the court culture. Tatran customs dictate that one should never bow down to anyone but God, and any monarch that claims "divine right" or an equivalent such as the "mandate of heaven" is considered sacrilegious (because "We are all equals under the eyes of God" and/ or "Jesus Christ is the only King we need").

That's a shame because we're one of the most gentle and sensible governments on NS.

I am pretty sure that the Tatrans have an absurdly long list of martyrs who have all kinds of gruesome legends surrounding their deaths at the hands of an equally long list of enemies.

So why worry about engraving yourself in the stone of history? Just live your life, have fun doing it and relish in the knowledge that every last one of those attention-seeking drama queens will eventually be as insignificant, small and forgettable as everyone else is.

Just have fun and make sure to act in a way that allows everyone else who desires it to have fun as well. If the opportunity to do something extraordinary arises, I've found, it'll appear on its own eventually. No need to risk missing it because you've been too stressed out to notice it.


I'm sure people told that to Sargon of Akkad and he is still remembered in a world he would consider alien. If you engrave correctly the stone of history it will maintain a life well lived.

I have a vague idea for a humorous RP. The basic idea is that a "generation gap" emerges in one particular NPC nation, and each of the RPers try to exploit this by exporting their culture to that nation's youth in order to make a profit. Eventually, a variety of "subcultures" develop in the NPC nation, each promoting wildly different lifestyles and philosophies. There will be riots and protests, and older generations will panic about a supposed "moral decline". "Enclaves" or "communes" will also be founded by the various "subcultures".

You're really quite pretty. You certainly don't convey anyone who should have low self-esteem.

NEW FRENCO EMPIRE

Transferring information from disorganized notes into presentable factbooks is way too time consuming for a procrastinator. Just ask if you have questions.
Plutocratic Evil Empire™ situated in a post-apocalyptic Decopunk North America. Extreme PMT, yet socially stuck in the interwar/immediate post-war era, with Jazz music and flapper culture alongside nanotechnology and Martian colonies. Tier I power of the Frencoverse.

I do wonder if my nation actually has any consumer products that there would be a significant demand for if it were exported. It has been established in my mind that mass produced Tatran consumer products sometimes have quality control and standardization issues due to the "imagination and a pile of junk" style of most Tatran technology.

I suppose there might be considerable demand for traditional souvenirs and handicrafts, but sooner or later another nation will mass produce cheap ripoffs of these products that will significantly outsell my real versions.

FT-FanT?

I have been colorized. And the color is called "interest".

But I'm off to sleep first, so feel free to throw elaborations at me while I rest.
I support thermonuclear warfare. Do you want to play a game of chess?

Yay first volunteer.... kawwaii cookiez to you. So here are my Ideas

1. Our nations become space empires and we would have to deal with several conflicts diplomatic issues and such

2. There is an unchallenged and totalitarian hyperpower and a space version of world war 1 or 2 begins

3. A colonial age in space

4. Anime or manga inspired conflict(s) such as a Neuroi War(Strike Witches).

5. Imagination is key... tee hee hee

I am very bored and I can't seem to sleep tonight. I am currently passing the time by listening to sea chanteys. Right now I am listening to "Hamborger Veermaster", which is sung partly in Low German and partly in English.

It's a willing association with a very weak central government whose control is nominal. And spehss muhreens.

You might see my post at Oale's ancient Tanabata festival to illustrate my FT incarnation.
