That might have been the case a while back, but nowadays Germany is clamping down on free speech. Raising your arm at all is suspicious and doing a Nazi salute will give you jail time. Plus saying anything "hate speech" related will give the police a reason to raid your home. So far 60 people have had their houses raided for "hate speech" against the Muslim communities in their area. Though, of course, the police don't give anything if you are from Syria and sieg heil.

Police wouldn't even do jack if i decided to dress as Hitler, shave my beard to his mustache and let myself being transported in a W150 cabriolet. Simply for one reason, i am a Jew and my grandfather was in a concentration camp. And this is actually something i criticize all the time as it installs double standards for the law. It's disgusting to see the hypocrisy of judges, politicians, the police and many citizens when it comes to enforcing the law equally. Germany basically just shifted from persecuting ethnic minorities others than German to giving special protection to everyone BUT Germans. Something is fundamentally wrong with the political scene when the "conservative party" of your nation is more left than the socialist party and on the same line as the extreme leftist one.

Now now. Calm down guys. That's a very subjective and biased view of what's going on in Germany. It isn't actually true that jews and Muslims can get away with anything. There are some things going wrong here but not remotely on the scale that some people want you to believe.

Well, everything you can't back up with numbers is subjective and biased in theory. And i agree, it's often less bad as people paint it but i think the Silvester night does make a point on how our government and especially journalism is trying to hide anything under the rug that could possibly be linked with general bad publicity for obviously different ethnicities. And that sadly isn't biased or subjective, i can give you all the details privately if you wish for it. But yeah, didn't want to start a debate on the board anyway, so i think we really should stop with this hot topic.^^

My philosophy on weather is that you can always warm up but it is near impossible to cool down. Therefore, cold weather is the best weather.

I respectfully disagree with you on this one. I've been to places where it was near impossible to warm up (my hot tea froze the moment I stepped outside), but even in the hottest of tropical climates, I've always been able to cool down. I'll take skinny dipping in the ocean any time over having to dress up as a polar bear with the flue.

I have the feeling that I may get the Brasilistan issues soon.

The nation of Brandeis would like to issue a sincere apology to the region of 10,000 islands. While launching a nuclear strike against Brazilistan may have been militarily necessary, some government officials may not have considered the ethical ramifications - we have traded their lives for our own. The ratio was not equal and we likely ended the lives of those we set out to save. We as a nation regret this decision, though we would do it again should true need arise.

Hopefully none of our countries will have to deal with the fallout emanating from the former country. Brandeis is not a nation rich in lead mines.

Is there any way I can decrease the death rate in New Dougland without killing my Econ?

There are no "requirements." Just do as you see fit with your nation. It's recommended you join the WA and regional boards. Most of the rest you'll figure out. Welcome and enjoy!
