I usually am a dyed-in-the-wool lurker, but this thread made me just have to write in. The name of the country for us Browncoats is obvious - THIS LAND!!!

(Well, at least I thought it was funny. My hubby just gave me one of those looks when I said it to him.)

Just let me know where and when - I will bring cookies that will make the other nations of the world even more envious of us!

I'm definately thinking we should name this land, This Land too.

We'll need someone to volunteer to run the lifesize plastic dinosaur zoo too!

Awwww...... you guys..... you're all so sweet, giving me a new name and everything!

I'm glad you all like this idea, although I think some of you *coughgunhandcough* perhaps might be a little... um... enthusiastic...

To my most stalwart supporter, Zoid:
I respect your wishes, and, although I wish you'd take on a larger role in our Browtopian Society, I will not insist... just don't be a stranger...

And I hereby decree that our nation shall be named "This Land," located on the island of Brownica in the Northern Hemisphere. And our national anthem shall be heard nightly (sans overdubbed spaceship effects). And it shall be good, and true, and all shall be made jealous of our nation.

We shall have a grand army, not to fight, but to look dashing in brown uniforms (although no two uniforms need be quite the same). Our language shall be based on English, with a mixture of Mandarin Chinese, and a whole lotta slang.

Our main national export will be smuggling and passengering (which is hereby now delcared an official Browncoat vocabulary word).

We shall have one MAIN television channel, upon which all things Whedon and Whedon-related shall play. We shall also have a national radio station, which will carry only intelligent programming (as decided by true democratic majority, unlike a Presidential election I could mention).

There will be other stations, both television and radio, which will be limited only by the amount of intelligent and quality programming available. Shows such as "Survivor," "The Swan," and "American Idol" shall be banned. Airing of these programs and their ilk shall be severely punished--violators shall be strapped into a metal chair, eyelids taped open, and forced to watch an endless loop of "Battlefield Earth."

>>Shows such as "Survivor," "The Swan," and "American Idol" shall be banned. Airing of these programs and their ilk shall be severely punished<<

With the exception of an airing of them with MST3K overdub! ;)

In fact, we'll devote one channel to showing normal programming generally found around the USA, but all MSTed!

Since our nation is small yet, I say instead of a congressional representative, every coat gets a vote. (Hey, that sounds like a good slogan! "Every Coat gets a Vote") You can choose to abstain, of course. Voting can be done online, so you don't need to travel to the Hill.

There will be no crime in This Land, because only Browncoats are allowed citizenship, and Browncoats are the nicest, goodest bunch of people in the world.

I'm looking forward to living in This Land.

I'm anticipating every glorious morning spent sipping my coffee and rustling ... errr, rescuing and recovering the cattle from the occupants of nearby annoying lands.

I will accept the duties and responsibilities of "Imports Inspection Boss". It won't be easy but trust me, my fellow Browncoats. No shipment of chocolate or Cuban Cigars will go untested.

I'm gonna like "This land". Ohhhh, I want a nice .9mm or two. They're a sweet lil weapon for a sweet lil gal like me.

OK, I want to the Minister of Culture, Swordfightin' and Shindigs, or at least get invited to 'em. Second or third the fancy hat notion too.

Hat, Anyone who snorts nose onto his computer screen as often as you do can certainly make the laws in my country. Can we make cheese our main export?

Oh, can I have a job, too? I'd love to be whatever the This Land equivilant of the Librarian of Congress is. Maybe Minster of Shiny Words?

This is such a fun thread! Thanks to our fearless leader, the Hat, for starting it. And let me know when I can move in -- Firefly AND 2 hour Dangermouse retrospectives. I'm there!

But Jefé, enthusiastic is a good thing, especially when it comes to cattle raids.

Plus there is a precedent, my ancestors actually got "deported to the colonies for brigandage" so see it's sorta a family tradition. Well if you're Scottish.

Oh and I promise not to wear my kilt with my browns except on formal state occasions.

Hmm, browns...I think I know what sort of ususpecting vehicle we can comandeer to use to go lootin...I mean shopping. In fact, I have a cunning plan m'lord. Mwuhahahahaha.
