A, a fellow Highlander, huh? I'm part, myself, so if you want to wear a kilt, go right ahead!
I'd like to add the claymore to the acceptable list of weapons, if no one objects (I know Gunhand will go for it).
Anyone who wants to run the Library, please feel free. I know it'll be in shiny hands.
I also would like to announce the creation of the Ministry of Media. Since we'll have the finest of the fine people, and the most beautific lands in the world, we can expect hordes of movie studios flocking to our borders, to make movies here (Hollywood will become SOOOO outdated...).
So, anyone want to help run this department?

Claymore is a fine weapon, good for cermonies and scaring the bejeezus out of people that don't know a lot about swords, but for my part I'd rather have a nice basket hilted broadsword if I actually need to use a sword. Actually I do have one. 
But we'll leave that up to the Minister of Duels on which should be used for whatever circumstances.
But if our peaceful Land gets invaded I'm going to have to fall back on my trusty .357s. Picked that calliber out especiallike because I can use the same rounds in both my rifle and pistol. Pretty cunning huh? 
Yep, Scots on my mom's side, my great-grandma used to make Haggis from scratch too. Pride and all withstanding, I vote that we do NOT make Haggis the offical National dish of This Land.

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...
While I've got no interest in political office (Utopian or otherwise), I will most certainly load up the family on the earliest departing converted freighter and brave Reaver country to resettle in that land, er, ThisLand. It definitely sounds like the kind of place I want to live; but I'll leave runnin' stuff to y'all, while I "view things in the light of mild philosophy", as one of my heroes once said. I'm just lookin' to be, to just keep flyin' a little farther out, away from the reach of the long arm of the Alliance.
But be a stranger? Not a chance. After all -- in lyrical proof of JW's omniscience -- now that we've found Serenity, where else can any of us be?
If I may make a nomination for an important post, though? Since we are gonna need a gravity drive for all this livestock and materiel hija... umm, 'reallocation' we're planning on basing our economy on, I'd like to nominate SigmaNunki as the Minister of Science. Perks of the job should include an occasional round trip airfare and first class accommodations to wherever they've got his wife, chained Promethean to a blackboard, scribbling arcane non-Euclidian equations. I feel his pain, even if we disagreed on everything.
And how about a bronze statue of our real world hero flyboy, Static? Hurry home, Static: the girls are waiting, and you've got chores to do... ("Work, work, work")
Respectfully,
zoid

Not to quibble... but the basket-hilted broadsword IS a claymore... there's two kinds, the military basket hilt, and the @$$ kicker two-handed version.
But I getcha about the .357s...

Well not to quibble back...oh wait that's why the Scots always lost, we always quibbled...
The broadsword I have is a replica of the "Mortuary Sword", most claymores I've seen would be based more off of those nasty Swiss Zweihanders. Never saw a claymore with a basket though.
But who cares we have This Land!
And seeing as how no one will take the Lifesize Plastic Dinosaur Zoo job, I guess I can do that when I'm not off borrowing stuff from the neighbors.

Hey, G'hand:
(zoid inserts tongue 'A' into cheek 'B')
Why not go with real dinos? I know a guy who can get you gen-eng'ed velociraptors at cost, and he swears they're all females. That way you don't have to worry about 'em overbreeding, and then over-foraging the available food supply.
On the other hand, there's a couple guys on Hera who're co-proprietors in a theme park that are looking for a fella or two to help 'em with wrangling some similar livestock, if you're looking for a paying job...
As the one guy is fond of saying, "Wacky fun!"
Respectfully,
zoid

Well I'd be all for some real dinos, but the thing is even if we smack them some eventually one of them is gonna eat a tourist.
Aside from the obvious economic hit to the souvineer and tourism industries that opens us up to something as terrifying as the Hands of Blue...
Yep, I'm talkin' about Personal Injury Lawyers. 
So I'm thinking we may just want to go with plastic, but if we could find some animatronics guys that could work. Maybe we could even get celebrity sponsorships for the zoo! You know, Mr. Gundy "Wash's Pet Stegasaurus" posters and the like.
Hmmm, we're gonna need a Minister of Swag too I'm thinking.

Gunny:
My personal experience with lawyers has been anything but positive, although I guess it's nice to know that somebody got the money for my trouble. Having said that, I believe we've got a public servant-type lawyer that occasionally posts hereabouts, so I'll not make any sweeping generalizations. Remember, "Generalizations are always false."
Still, I believe you are correct to surmise that it would be a drain on ThisLand's coffers to engage in lengthy court battles. So, what we should probably do with any tourists who were so inconsiderate as to tangle with one of our truly cuddly raptors -- and likewise not gracious enough to die immediately -- is to go ahead and shoot 'em, before they can retain representation. You know, 'Darwin at work' and all that.
Oh, and free tours of the grounds for Fox TV execs...
Pensively,
zoid
