OOC: Bolrieg, honestly. If you want to comment on something, say something more than "High gorsas". It is getting boring and very easily looses any sense and relation to IC environment, turning this site into a place of trolling warfare.

I am giving you last warning. If you won't calm down now, I will BE FORCED to take action. Let us do something useful on this site shall we?

@Edmund Somereyll: I wouldn't necessarily call the Wellesley-System the best, but it has both its advantages and is working better then the system in the US, even if there is the odd surprise mixed in there.

As it is, the article is coming along nicely. I got my hands on a very few interesting sources from Nifon itself, so I am almost ready to write the thing. Source Criticism is still in the works, though, so the 'almost' might drag out a bit. That, and testing period is coming up.
I hope, that you are all learning adequately for your exams!

@@LabourTimes: I would like to point out, that the theory of a representative democracy is a workable theory and that there are indeed working applications of that principle.
However, the execution of that principle in the United of States of America lacks in many aspects, beginning with the definitive proof of the Iron Law of Oligarchy, in which a selected elite of people (in our American Example that would be the economic and financial elite) inevitably came to rule, to the fact, that the electoral system itself has major faults - after all, how can someone have the majority of votes and still loose because of some wonky electors (as in the current example) or overhang seats?
And yes, Overhang Seats are a German phenomenon, but that does not make them better in any way, shape or form.

@Professor Fynn Ollamh;

The electoral college system in the USA prevents a select few areas with high population from consistently dominating the rest of the country. If you don't understand why the electoral college works take a look at this map.

Now *some* in Inyursta think we should switch to an electoral college system or something similar, arguing that the simple majority system in Inyursta favors the center of the country (mostly the cities and provinces in Marindino and Topoguya) while lesser populated but potentially* more left-leaning areas in the San Meresque Strip or the Southern Territories have been dominated in almost every single national election by the Duvalierist and Neoliberalismo elements in the center/north.

Of course, given the nature of Inyurstan politics that will never happen...

Nifons antidemocratic Nemawashi ideas have had a sure influence on Nashids "White Book of Islamic Governance" ideas, when which proves Nashid is merely a tentecle of the global fasdcist conspiracy headed by Nihon and SACTO.

Currently Nashid is getting rid of years of democracy and moving backwards to total reaction, he wants to merge Bashriyya with Turenistan and make crown himself an Emir.

I say Bashriyya needs democracy, no to the merge!

Rakia Mahfouz



I've noticed an increasingly large community of Muslims in the world who want to acknowledge the Qur'an, but ignore the Hadith, presumably because so much of the embarrassing crap you can use to humiliate a Good Muslim is found in the ahadith. The very real problem with this, if you are a Muslim, as I was, is that a vast majority of the practices of Islam are found, not in the Qur'an, but in the huge list of passages that is the ahadith. Praying five times a day is found therein, for example, as well as a commandment to drink camel piss because it supposedly has curative properties.

I honestly have no words.

The problem which these Qur'an only Muslims, called Qur'anists, run into quite swiftly is simple. In the Qur'an, we are told that Mohammed is the "pattern of conduct" for all mankind, which means it is necessary to know what he said and how he behaved in his life, and where do we find most of that? You guessed it.

If you want to reject some of the most repulsive, barbaric practices of Islam, you have to wholly reject the ahadith, and if you do that? There goes most of Islam.

This filthy Shiite regime will fall very soon, and when it does, we enforce the Sharia and show harsh punishment on the kuffar. For the fact is that since the fall of the ottoman empire, the Muslims have wanted the return of the caliphate and in'shallah we shall bring it back.

@Rakia Mahfouz

I agree with you to a point. While I have my own beliefs, I don't opress others for theirs. I simply state why I believe them and why. There's a saying in the Christian Church that I believe in. "Hate the sin, love the sinner." Its a bit hard to do at times, I'll admit that. Like with this whole uprising of LGBST rights. Personally, I don't believe that gays are evil, I just believe Homosexuality is. See my point? I have a few gay friends, but they know I don't condone/support their lifestyle.

@GDuchessChar I seek to oppress nobody. If anything, I seek to point out the oppression of so many groups in society by Islam which the larger part of Western society sees fit to ignore. I do not hate individuals who practice Islam, with the possible exception of my father, who sought to murder me for leaving the faith. I simply hate their vile religion.

The problem with befriending a true Muslim is that the Qur'an openly declares that in leaving the Islamic faith I have committed the sin of riddah, or apostasy, and thus am fit only to die.

@Rakia Mahfouz, Why would you hate the regime? I know you apostates hate real Muslims but why do you hate the government? It is full of secularists and Alawites, it allows Christians and Jews to build churches and synagogues in Muslims lands, the supporters of the regime wear western clothes and support western values. So why would you hate it?

The official representative wishes to warn every denizen of this website of Nifonophobic group know as "Lions of Truth". This organization, as well as countless others aligned with itself, is hell bent on spreading fake news about Nifonese people, Nifonese culture, and Nifonese politics. As happened before, the dishonorable liberals can not tolerate even a bit of sovereign, independent culture untouched by gaijin one-worldist vision, and willing to actively work to preserve itself; it is also incapable of understanding that different cultures and civilizations have different paths of progress and that Nifonese culture has it's own course of development independent from what liberal politicians want to shove down our throats.

Judging by the fact that the group called itself to be "democratic socialist" - we can conclude only about only possible outcome: that those disseminators of fake news are most likely communists in disguise whose sole goal is to harm Nifon. Do not be deceived!

@Lions of Truth: Few posts before you called yourself "Social democratic", so let me ask you: do you support redistribution of wealth? Do you support progressive tax? Do you propose replacement of market mechanism by state planing?

If the answer is yes, are you aware that communism is just an end goal, and socialism is what is supposed to lead to it?
