Stick it in the [pre] tags. You should see the pre button in the line of buttons above the post area. It makes every character (including spaces) the same length, lining everything up nicely.

Does anyone have or know where I might find a flag for Krytenia?

I looked through WC 66 and AOCAF threads to see if it were in there but I did not have any luck, I didn't even see a roster in WC 66. This was the most recent roster I could find, but no colors or flags to possibly use in a RP.

Any help will be appreciated as I really don't want to put Image next to the nation name.

Lies! The Krytenia flag actually looks more like this:








I know what you're thinking. "Hey, Audio, either the flag failed to load or there's simply nothing there", but you'd be wrong. There are actually two flags there: The cyan and white six-starred (or 'sexapentagram' as we call it) flag of Krytenia and the traditional plain white flag of surrender. What has happened, however, is that the flag-bearing Krytenian army is retreating so quickly that the flags have red-shifted into a non-visible light spectrum.

Lucky win I think and still a long way to go. I won't be surprised if you take it out next time especially since I won't be able to RP beforehand.
