If you had to divide up the world

Postby Corporations and Companies » Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:54 am

just say you were forced to divide up the World - how would you divy it up

By Skin Colour?
By Religion?
By Political Leaning?
By Sex?

Or would you get more creative? Put all the accountants in one nation, short people in another, vegetarians in another and so forth?

How would you make your world perfect?

I would have one nation for everyone, and then a nation for the people who talk in the theatre.

By letting people choose their own group, or no group, or constantly shift groups, or be in a group of one, or anything else people think of, and then getting them all to play nice.
I'm not a roleplayer, but check these out: The United Defenders League and The Versutian Federation.

The only way to perfect the world is to kill all the humans.
So I'd put all the corpses in one nation, say Luxembourg.

After you read out the few whiny baby replies there are some interesting responses.

Though I think a few are still unclear on the concept of 'have to'.

So for 'have to' assume that if you did not make the division that something bad would happen. War. Disease. Famine etc.

That's funny, coming from you.

I'd probably divide it up by political learning, because that group is - in my opinion - the hardest to unite.
