Still more likely if they post about it in Moderation.

It's because Max Barry was actually cloned in a Soviet laboratory from the DNA of Dostoyevsky, Vladimir Lenin, and Melvin Kaminksky.

He is biochemically engineered to delivery a coded geno-toxin that would cause Ronald Reagan to develop severe dementia and unsound policies if he ever shook hands with Max Barry, but before the project was completed, funding was cut and the scientists sold all the equipment for rent money. Max Barry was released into the wild with instructions to "Fuck capitalism however you can".

So he writes brilliants books satirizing the realities of advertising, mass market culture, and the free market gone mad.

Never did get to meet Reagan though.

Who is this Drenvia person, anyway? Since his question is awfully familiar (and I do mean awful), I assume it's just a new nation of one of the usual suspects. His question usually is asked elsewhere on the forum whenever somebody finds it so unfair that he can't use the swastika and invite all his Stormfront friends to join this forum and cleanse this place thoroughly from everything deemed racially or politically undesirable. Guess our little corner of NationStates General is now a new and exciting experimental arena to ask this tired old question once more in order to instigate the usual furious discussion followed by the inevitable moderator intervention. And we've already had more than our fair share of nazi and fascist filth in TET in the past, so this is the only proper response as far as I'm concerned: sod off, ya wanker!

There is one of those in the Boneyard, besides an active nation called The Berdanvian Empire. The former ceased to exist a few days before last Christmas, I cannot find any information about him being "unjustly deleted". Those two words always make me grin, for I'm pretty sure they do not have the effect desired by our valiant martyrs with their spanking fresh nations.

Pretty sure it is one of the usual tired old reasons why nations get deleted, but thanks for the offer.
