The national complaining point of your nation?

Postby West Bromwich Holme » Tue Nov 01, 2022 2:48 pm

What is the topic that many people will complain about in your nation?

Within West Bromwich Holme, it's mainly the sheer amount of bureaucracy and ensuring everything's in triplicate for record-keeping purposes.

Then there's also a smaller complaining point, but portion sizes of fries, either too small or too huge, depending on who you ask. Don't get me started on the quality of the sauces....

OK, so what's the thing in your nation that always prompts complaints?

Welfare is either too high or way too low. No one seems happy.

Too little competition in the telecom industry, and thus horrible, horrible net speeds.
Factbooks and dispatches (which are works in progress) are the primary source of information for my nation. I try to have my stats match my idea of my nation but I think policies are the stat I can control the most.

I don't dislike anyone here. Agree or disagree, we're all compadres. :-)

The cost of living. Everything in Tangatarehua seems to get more and more expensive every day, and things were already pretty damn expensive to begin with.

Another common complaint is that the nation is still not a full democracy even though it's on the verge of it. While people can vote and criticise the government, the executive branch is unelected and there remains a disturbingly cosy relationship between the government and the big corporations.

  • Bukravia's involvement in seemingly every major civil war occurring around the world.
  • Prisoners having high-quality meals. It'd be like comparing them to El Chapo in his private prison with luxuries.
  • Bukravia's somewhat corrupt government (some attempts have been made to stamp it out)
  • Criminalization of divorce. Would be fair to say 25% of Bukravian men would rather be homeless than to even attempt to love their wife, same goes for the other way around.
  • For older generations of Bukravians, the legalization of cannabis. They'd think you would immediately throw up gang signs if you smoked weed.
  • For majority of foreigners, the intolerance of atheism and acceptance of extremism (to some degree, in a controlled environment)

The Master List of Things WFians Complain About

  • How absolutely useless the government is
  • Having to learn German and English for foreigners
  • Being ignored except when someone comments on how wack they are
  • Nobody knows how to pronounce "Western Fardelshufflestein" correctly
  • Their language is a chaotic mess
  • Being classified as a "first world" country, but not having enough resources to be fully self-sufficient
  • Feeling useless in the UN
  • Having to justify the fact they were never colonized by the British
  • "No, we are NOT drunk all the time!"
  • Everyone assumes every WFian likes Shakespeare
  • Having to study Shakespeare in school
  • The weather, of course
  • American media guilting them for never seeing snow on Christmas
  • Having only four radio stations in the entire country (less of a problem now with services like Spotify)
  • Having only 4 TV channels (News, C-Span, the one that plays foreign movies, the one that plays foreign TV shows); again, less of a problem because they can get Disney+ and Netflix
  • They've never won an Olympic medal, even in fencing
  • There's only one major newspaper in the entire country (it's privately owned); they do have access to some papers from New Zealand
  • It's very hard to travel abroad given their geographical location
  • Did we mention that foreigners can't pronounce "Western Fardelshufflestein?"

The ten things we complain about the most:
  • The high cost of living, particularly in Moritzburg and St Charles;
  • How people can only afford to live in Santa Maria or Altena because they're sh*tholes;
  • Stereotypical Germanic culture and alcoholism without stereotypical Germanic efficiency;
  • Choking in the World Cup and Euro tournaments despite consistently having a globally high-ranked team;
  • Speed limits topping out at 100 km/h;
  • How it's not even cold in the winter, just miserably grey and damp;
  • How most of these Eurozone immigrants aren't even bringing good food with them, unlike the Turks and Chinese;
  • Hearing the same 10 artists on the radio because of localised content regulations;
  • How the beef and dairy industries are run by the same cartel; and
  • Earthquakes.

For the wealthy it's socialism/communism and taxes. For the poor it's how everything is so exorbitantly expensive and that they're overworked - they have short lifespans and this is one reason why.

  • The government overlooking German and Ottoman war crimes
  • Notorious Corruption
  • The Obesity Rates
  • The harshness of Scythian Maximum Security Facilities
  • Scytharum being somewhat overbearing towards the other members of the Southern Hemisphere Trident Operation
  • The degree of economic freedom, as some complain that there should be even less government while others wish for more government regulation

1. They keep claiming that it's a dry heat, even though none of the flats have windows in them.
2. You leave your car parked for a week, and when you decide to take a rare drive it's covered in vines.
3. That girl you dated for five months turned out to be someone's concubine, and she now has all of your passwords.
4. You have to pull duty this week at the Temple on behalf of the unluckies that no one wants to have sex with. Ten "ones" is not equal to one "ten".
5. The bad news is that there is a lot of theft and piracy, the good news is that no one has anything to steal anyway.
6. All of the waitstaff are whacked out on weed. You've been waiting for a roast and they tell you, "Sorry, I forgot."
7. Annoying textilists ("non-nudists") give you dirty looks when you walk across their beaches. The "covering their eyes" thing is insulting.
8. My government ordered shoes arrived, but they came in white.
