You're welcome and I don't look much like him either. Big heart, wings, nice figure, Soul is a lucky guy.

Sure go ahead, but if he has a more than a sliver of a brain then he all ready knows it. But what does he care what I look like.

Of course, my figure's not so great at the moment, what with me being about 6 months pregnant.

Time heals.

Must dash, I'm trying to save Needy's life on Boros, then I have to deal with reality. Back in the evening.

heh, your figures not so great? suddenly I have all these lumps where they're not meant to be, and, mens knees!

ah well, at least I can change back when I wish.

I was watching this thing on t.v. today about all the things they never tell you about labour...

When the time comes? go for the drugs!

Oh, I did change the thing to two issues a day, but still, takes a while to change don't it?

Both of my countries are in the Firefly region. Let me list out the current situation in both.

Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Good
Political Rights: Some

The Allied States of Elemdee is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 224 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 60%. A large private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Soda Sales and Trout Farming.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, billions of rupals are being poured into a space program, bizarre-looking creatures called 'frogdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and frogs have more rights than the average citizen. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Elemdee's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rupal.

Elemdee is ranked 66th in the region and 69,103rd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

----------------------

This is odd...I'm listing Yhamez next...only a few days ago it was a Scandavian Liberal Paradise, then it changed to Left Wing Utopia...I look at it today to find: Anarchy :o

Civil Rights: Frightening
Economy: Good
Political Rights: World Benchmark

The Free Land of Yhamez is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 206 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Yhamez's national animal is the muppet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rupee.

Yhamez is ranked 102nd in the region and 110,126th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

Tell me about it, I voted for them first time round, then they go about 'World building' "Labour, Building Better Worlds" or something, they didn't tell me that was on the cards and another thing...
What?
Oh! Oh that kind of Labour, right! Just ignore me...
What do you mean you were anyway?

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
You should never give powers to a leader you like that you’d hate to have given to a leader you fear

well, I was watching the programme, so quick grammar change, 'were' comes into it.

or am I totally missing the point?

hmmm, bed time methinks.

oh, Sean, I am very cross with you! You stole my Zombie Yosaffbridg idea in the caption competition. Or rather, you got there before I did. Hey, give the dimwit a chance!

now I have to go and think of something thats actually funny...

not that it makes a difference, cause what I find funny and what the guy running it finds funny are two totally different things. The captions I love are never available to vote on. *pout*

oh, having the worst week at work, horrible horrible humans. We've had literally thousands visitors since the half-term holidays began. And every single one of them had some stupid complaint to make, or imbecillic remark or just a general lack of anything remotely resembling common manners and decency. I have bruises all over me from wrestling others battle wagons/ buggies, whatever you call them. Stupid things designed by trained apes without the training. My muscles are sreaming from hauling great piles of stupidly heavy attention whore coats (I swear some of those god awful things are bigger than the child waering them) and great big bags of shopping about, I'm tired and achy and I've had a headache for the last five days straight from the constant whine of thousands of badly trained brats screaming I want I want all day long.
God if they were my kids i'd never take them out of the house through shame of my failings as a parent. It is truly disgusting some of the things these kids are allowed to get away with.

oo! long rant, sorry, does have a point.

point being that I wanted to set up a country populated by chavs and just do the meanest nastiest things I could think of to them.

But I feel bad for wanting to...

but look out for it. It'll be the country with the most venomous spider alive as its national animal, frolicking freely EVERYWHERE
