If your nation were real...

Postby Lurikastan » Thu Jun 11, 2009 6:16 pm

Assuming your nation were real and all NS info + Forum posts were taken into account would you want to be a common citizen in your nation, and why?


My Answer:

Yes I would, as my nation is customarily sculpted to my politics of equality, sustainability and common sense.

This should probably be in General, but...

Sure, I generally try to do it to my liking, although Im still trying to work out the kinks, cause this one originally started as more of a joke nation...

It'd be a serious challenge to learn the language to the point of fluency. The weather would be too hot for my liking, but I kinda would like living there. Maybe a 1 year long work-visa instead of immediately becoming citizen.

Edit: politically, I do like 'The Rejis' since it is rather free, but not anarchistic. Just the smaller things are a bit troubling. Like the fact that their computers are still prehistoric :geek:

Yes, I would, because I wouldn't have to deal with petty commies, and the leadership would be a constant. Furthermore, the police are overly effective, meaning I don't have to worry about burglars, muggers, et cetera.

Certainly.

Language wouldn't really be an issue in my case (except in Korea; learning it gradually though.). Maybe a bit more extreme version of my own politics in some cases, but I'm certainly of the mindset that in a political arena, one must stand strongly behind their ideology in order to force an equilibrium more in their favor.

It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion that the imperialists will give up their positions in the colonies and dependent countries with good will. It is wrong to try to avoid the struggle against imperialism under the pretext that independence and revolution are important, but that peace is still more precious. The oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history.

I'd have to go to the Church of Revolvisia every freaking morning just because some guy in a floating tower told me to! And then I'd have to go to school every day until I was 18. Then the guy would have us preaching his name at 12 o'clock, on the dot. And the ever present Lazarus tanks roaming down the streets. It'd be terrible.

My nation is actually much more detailed in separate fiction than what is portrayed on NS, so what you see here is probably slightly inaccurate. That said, I would be happy to live in my own country, but it wouldn't be absolutely perfect. My knowledge is the language is very limited, and given the attitude of the locals, it'd take a long time to get accepted.

My country is modelled on an elaborate "what if" scenario (again the fiction elaborates on it more than here) based on a historic IRL culture and government that happened to survive into the modern era (much like Qing dynasty China). As such, it was never going to be either utopian or dytopian, but given my passion for the culture, I'd be very enthusiastic to live there and see it first hand, even with the difficulties I'd face as a "vile foreigner".

Depends on what you mean by "common". If you mean I, as I am now, would want to move there or have been born there to an "average" family (no special privileges or means), absolutely. If you mean I would want to live there as a "common" or average person (average intellectual and physical abilities, little technical knowledge, no special talents, an IQ between 90 and 110) absolutely not. Average people in Dagnia are used and thrown away as needed. This nation was founded for the talented, extraordinary people, the ones whose brains move the world. If I could move there, I would see if I really had what it takes to be one of those people.

Fictions? Absolutely not, I would be discriminated against to no end, I broke the number one rule when I made Fictions: Never make a place you wouldn't like to go to yourself. Besides, It's WAY to hot there for my liking.

My puppets on the other hand, I would not like to be in the north (too commie, Unless I was a party member then I don't mind) But the south I would not mind too much =D

If it was a choice between Fictions or TBN/S I would would pick the Terraficial Blancs every time... Even if one is commie XD

Very mixed. For starters, The native Ginetians wouldn't be overly friendly towards me because of their historical trouble with white colonizers, slavers, and other exploiters. And the lifestyle is very different from the typical American life.

OTOH, Ginet has a decent standard and living, is probably nicer for poor people than much of the US, and is at least somewhat less corrupt.

Also, this nation is so full of technology and then there's high quality of life. I would like to live in my own nation.
