[Maraque]

On average how much change is hiding underneath the typical Vermonters couch?

[Seperate Vermont]

$.70. During enclosed winter, you have no idea what can find it's way into crevasses.

[Maraque]

You haven't seen the underside of a Tsvarchivan's couch.

What percentage of Vermonters have ever used a recreational drug at least once?

[Seperate Vermont]

~37.02%, Alcohol not included.

Most of those reported as being your classic "tried-it-once-upon-a-time" types.

Of course, it was done via survey, so exact honesty cannot be 100% assured, but we feel confident they stand virtually and for all purposes true, considering there is no incriminating reason to lie.

[Maraque]

How many Vermonters are licensed to operate a motor vehicle, but choose to use other means of transport most of the time? How many licensed to operate a motor vehicle do not own a vehicle?

[Seperate Vermont]

Based on a 2007 survey of Vermontian licensed drivers, Of those able, 30% stated they used other means of transportation, while a total of 38.7% stated they overall do not own a vehicle or rarely use automobiles as a method of transport.

[Maraque]

And of the overall workforce, what is the percentage of individuals that are in part-time positions?

[Maraque]

Have the Tsvarchivan families that remain in Vermont as rebuilding continues in the aftermath of the Mount Sidkei crisis had any influence on the local culture in the communities they have become a part of? Such as importing their love of underwater sports or other Tsvarchivan customs?

[Seperate Vermont]

And of the overall workforce, what is the percentage of individuals that are in part-time positions?

A typical range from 11-15%, right now it is 11.7%, down from the 12.5% that had been maintained before since 2001.

Have the Tsvarchivan families that remain in Vermont as rebuilding continues in the aftermath of the Mount Sidkei crisis had any influence on the local culture in the communities they have become a part of? Such as importing their love of underwater sports or other Tsvarchivan customs?

The influence of the Tsvarchivan families in Vermont is undeniable. They have quite notably had a considerable influence on arts such as music and drama, even in the relatively short time they have taken residence in the Green Mountains.

First of all, we know of nothing else that could turn town squares of small communities into elaborate party squares. Second,many underwater sports have become popular, and there are even regular "competitions" in certain communities- of course, within indoor swimming facilities due to the season.

If anything, displaced Tsvarchivans have taught us Vermontians how to really party and how to really swim. Then of course, there are those beaches on select days.

[Eugepae]

How aware of Eugepae is the average citizen of Vermont? And, if they're aware enough for it, what's their general opinion on us?

[Seperate Vermont]

Eugepae is not the most commonly well-known nation in Vermont, those that do know enough of it would probably find it to be a decent state, with an interesting government order and fascinating history, while fostering a respect for democracy. A few would probably question the age of suffrage being at 21, but for most it would be digressed in the place of Eugepae's commendable economic,political and scientific advances.

In short, would be considered a good nation, and certainly not nearly as bad as some.

[Anthro Peoples]

Do you recognize sapient non-humans in RP? I'm only inquiring out of curiosity, I guess.

[Seperate Vermont]

Yes, we do.

[ArghNeedAName]

I understand that prior to the secession, Vermont had a bicameral legislature. Why did it get replaced with a unicameral one?

[Sorry for delay]

Secession? We never really seceded from anyone. [OOC: NS=/=RL]

We dropped the bicameral structure after the 1790's due to ineffectiveness and the rise of the Castleton Party influence.

[Astrolinium]

We would like to inquire as to whether Seperate Vermont has an embassy program, as the King finds the notion of a nation where the executive is of an age similar to his own intriguing, and finds the policies and customs of your nation further intriguing, and perhaps would like to pursue diplomatic relations.
