Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, get off my back
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's no, well, I can go
I won't make you
That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. ;)
Oh! ^-^
I've got a lot of thoughts
Got a lot of plans
I lost a lot of sleep
Trying to understand
I could dream all day
In a blackened room
Staring into space
Underneath a thousand blankets
Just to find a place
Where everything is reachable
Imagining is safe
I tried to make it so
I didn't even know
I could dream all day
I dreamt I was awake
My mouth was colored grey
As the world revolved around me
I could only say
I could dream all day
*shoots microphone*
Poetry time!
The Sword
At your side is highly symbolic-
A weapon of grace, precision, and honor.
But we all know that the only thing you ever use is that gun.
Yes, we can see it, resting in your jacket pocket, handle up, tersely standing poised at the starting line, ready to fling itself into your hand and deal the death blow.
You like using it because it's long ranged, it's highly impersonal, and yet it does more damage than any honest weapon like that sword could do.
It's all too easy, easy to whip it out, to aim it down, to make it go.
You put it away and stalk off pretending you have nothing to do with it, pretending the rupture at the end of the corridor is just a coincidence, a catastrophic failure of the opposing side.
But we know.
The bullets remain, and the casings you left on the floor because you're too arrogant, you're too busy, you're too stupid-
We know it was you.
-URA's troubled childhood
*points at WFE*
My darling you look lovely
I've come to lay you down
Uncover your head and submit to me
We'll make a joyful sound
I don't care if you're by yourself
Or you're all alone when you need my help
Keep that smile on your pretty face
Cause you don't have much I can't take away
[Chorus:]
Don't you worry baby
You won't feel a thing
Close your eyes
Holy Roller Novocaine
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
You'll be hearin' me comin'
But I can't come inside
I'll be out back in my white Cadillac
Won't you join me for a ride
Let me take you up to the mountain top
There I'll show all the goods I got
Don't look back keep your eyes ahead
This could be the night that the moon goes red
[Repeat Chorus]
All the world is moanin'
And baby so am I
I'm just givin' you warning
And I'm telling you why
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
Lord's gonna get us back [x4]
I know, I know
Greetings from the Democratic Socialist Republic of Valcavia. Kind of new to NationStates and look forward to learning more.
United russoasia and Recuecn
Howdy Valcavia!
On Friday we participate in karaoke, a long standing tradition here. Post lyrics/videos or both!
To learn more try:
A Basic Guide to NationStates 2017
First of all.......Welcome to NationStates and The West Pacific!
NationStates is a world full of regional communities of all kinds, with a wide variety of interests. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
In addition to this quick guide, we recommend you also read the full NationStates FAQ
The in-game FAQ will provide you with more detail than this quick guide.
For more information on game rule details, we also recommend every player read through the 
One Stop Rules Shop
This vital information can save you from The Wrath of the Game Moderators.
For another excellent FAQ, also see The Almighty NationStates FAQ pinned in the NS Technical forum.
.
- NationStates was created in 2002 by Max Barry to promote his novel, Jennifer Government. Since then, the game has grown into a community of with thousands of individual players from around the world.
When your nation is created, your nation will start out in a Game Created Region (GCR) known as a “Feeder region”, one of five Regions where new nations are born.
The Feeder regions are:
Other types of Game Created regions include the three "Sinker" regions where nations that have ceased to exist (CTE'd) are 'refounded':
The region where all ejected and banned nations go:
And the Warzone regions:
All other regions are 'founded' by players and are known as 'User Created Regions' (UCRs). Any player can create his or her own region(s).
So, now what?
- After your nation is created, it's all up to you, the player.
How can I stop all these recruitment telegrams?
- You can adjust your Telegram Inbox preferences here.
What are some of your options ?
-
- You can stay in the Feeder region in which your nation is created, or you can move your nation to a different region.
You might want to review those telegrams from regions that would like to recruit you. Though we'd really be happy to have you stay here.
(note: Some User Created Regions are password protected)
- You can create your own region via the Found Region page.
- You can make decisions on 'Issues' your nation receives. Making decisions on issues is what alters your nation's economy, civil rights, and politics.
Fair warning: NationStates issues tend to be humorous, satirical, and sometimes just plain bizarre. Just as in RL, there can be unintended consequences.
- You can alter your nation's flag and it's motto, as well as it's currency and national animal.
More options will become available to your nation over time:
-===>Capital City: Unlockable with 250 million citizens. #241: A Capital City For @@NAME@@?
-===>Leader: Unlockable with 750 million citizens. #242: Follow The Leader
-===>National Religion: Unlockable with 1 billion citizen #243: A Question Of Faith
(note - it takes about six months to reach 1 billion population)
- You can write Factbook entries and Dispatches for your nation. (See How to Write a Dispatch and The Complete list of NS Codes)
- You can participate in the discussion on the Regional Message Board (RMB).
- You can telegram other nations.
- You can apply to join the World Assembly.
- About the joining World Assembly: Please be aware that while a player may have more than one nation, a player may only have one nation as a member of the World Assembly at any time. Trying to violate this game rule can get your nation deleted. (Or worse, some Moderators are said to have bad breath.)
- Once you've joined the World Assembly, you can vote on General Assembly and Security Council Resolutions, as well as give and receive Endorsements.
- Once you have received two endorsements, you can submit your own World Assembly Resolutions.
- We recommend you bring Resolution proposals up for discussion on the in-game forum before submitting it. There are many helpful players to assist in getting the proposal ready for submission.
Anything Else to do?
- Oh yes, it all depends upon what interests you.
- - For example, you can join the
The West Pacific off-site forum. We'd love to have you participate with us here.Many other regions, both GCR's and UCR's maintain their own off-site forums, separate from the NationSates forum.
- Speaking of the NationStates forum, you'll find technical assistance for the game there, Roleplay's, World Assembly Debates and more there.
- Join a Government. Many, if not most regions, have some form of Regional Government. Most regions would be happy to have more people participate in these.
- Join a Roleplay. In addition to the RP hosted on the NationStates forum, many regions have their own RP communities.
- Here you can read a list of Useful NS Sites and Utilities
How do I go to war?
- - NationStates does not provide a warfare system, however players do engage in 'military' gameplay operations that generally employ the use of World Assembly endorsements to control a region's Delegacy. This is often known as Raiding and Defending (R/D gameplay.) Speak with a region's military leader for more info, most would be happy to train you.
- You might want to read this Complete Guide to Military Gameplay pinned in the NS Gameplay forum.
- Oh wait, you meant Roleplay war? See the NationStates National and International Roleplaying forum, or the offsite forum of a region that hosts Roleplay.
How can I increase my population more quickly?
- - In short, you can't. Population growth is a set game mechanic that cannot be controlled by the player. Every day your nation exists, it will grow a few million in population. Of course, if your nation ceases to exist (CTE), it will no longer gain in population until you restore your nation.
How do I win the game?
- - Sorry, there are no 'win conditions' line or 'end game' to NationStates, the game is not played on that basis. Although you can compete with other nations to see where your nation ranks in the lastest NationStates Census. Your answers to issues will alter where your nation stands in the rankings. Some regional player communities also hold their own contests and issue graphic awards for winning them.
- However, there are a couple 'mini games' that were created for April Fool's days past (the annual prank/treat is a tradition in NS), There is the Challenge Game, and Cards Against NationStates.
Anything else I should know?
- Well, probably more that I think to write here. But you might keep in mind:
- - A reminder again....Don’t join the World Assembly with more than one nation. (we don't want your nation to get deleted)
- Do not flame, troll, post racist statements. But really, using common courtesy will keep you safe and respected. Give respect and it will be given to you.
- Your nation will automatically 'Cease to Exist' (CTE) if you haven’t logged in for 28 days. Although you can set your nation to “Vacation Mode” to extend that to 60 days.
- In the event that your nation has CTE'd, you can restore it by simply logging in. You’ll find your nation restored in one of the Game Created 'Sinker' regions :Lazarus, Osiris, or Balder.
Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the game!
Welcome! If you have questions, just ask!

Et le karaoke: https://youtu.be/N7JSW4NhM8I
Faire tous ensemble un grand pique-nique dans la nature,
En emportant des paniers, des bouteilles, des paquets,
Et la radio !
Des cornichons
De la moutarde
Du pain, du beurre
Des p'tits oignons
Des confitures
Et des oeufs durs
Des cornichons
Du corned-beef
Et des biscottes
Des macarons
Un tire-bouchons
Des petits-beurre
Et de la bière
Des cornichons
On n'avait rien oublié, c'est maman qui a tout fait
Elle avait travaillé trois jours sans s'arrêter
Pour préparer les paniers, les bouteilles, les paquets
Et la radio !
Le poulet froid
La mayonnaise
Le chocolat
Les champignons
Les ouvre-boîtes
Et les tomates
Les cornichons
Mais quand on est arrivé, on a trouvé la pluie
C'qu'on avait oublié, c'était les parapluies
On a ramené les paniers, les bouteilles, les paquets
Et la radio !
On est rentré
Manger à la maison
Le fromage et les boîtes
Les confitures et les cornichons
La moutarde et le beurre
La mayonnaise et les cornichons
Le poulet, les biscottes
Les oeufs durs et puis les cornichons!
Me daddy said to me,
'The time has come, me bonny, bonny bairn,
To learn your ABC.'
Now Daddy was a lodge chairman
In the coalfields of the Tyne
And his ABC was different
From the Enid Blyton kind.
He sang, 'A is for Alienation
That made me the man that I am, and
B's for the Boss who's a Bastard,
A Bourgeois who don't give a damn.
C is for Capitalism,
The bosses' reactionary creed, and
D's for Dictatorship, laddie,
But the best proletarian breed.
E is for Exploitation
That workers have suffered so long, and
F is for old Ludwig Feuerbach,
The first one to say it was wrong.
G is all Gerrymanderers,
Like Lord Muck and Sir Whatsisname, and
H is the Hell that they'll go to
When the workers have kindled the flame.
I's for Imperialism,
And America's kind is the worst, and
J is for sweet Jingoism,
That the Tories all think of the first.
K is for good old Kier Hardy,
Who fought out the working class fight, and
L is for Vladimir Lenin,
Who showed him the left was all right.
M is of course for Karl Marx,
The daddy and the mommy of them all, and
N is for Nationalisation -
Without it we'd tumble and fall.
O is for Overproduction,
That capitalist economy brings, and
P is for all Private Property,
The greatest of all of the sins.
Q's for the Quid pro quo,
That we'll deal out so well and so soon, when
R for Revolution is shouted and
The Red Flag becomes the top tune.
S is for Sad Stalinism
That gave us all such a bad name, and
T is for Trotsky, the hero,
Who had to take all of the blame.
U's for the Union of Workers -
The Union will stand to the end, and
V is for Vodka, yes, Vodka,
The vun drink that vont bring the bends.
W's for all Willing Workers,
And that's where the memory fades,
For X, Y, and Zed,' my dear daddy said,
'Will be written on the street barricades.'
Now that I'm not a little tiny boy,
Me daddy says to me,
'Please try to forget those thing that I said,
Especially the ABC.'
For daddy is no longer a union man,
And he's had to change his plea.
His alphabet is different now,
Since they made him a Labour MP.
My answer to students who are all of a sudden concerned with their grades after earning a 50 most of the year.
"Your Time Is Gonna Come"
Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.
Messin' around with every guy in town,
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.
Always the same, playin' your game,
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you,
One of these days and it won't be long,
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone.
This is all I gotta say to you woman:
[Chorus]
Your Time Is Gonna Come [X4]
Made up my mind to break you this time,
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt.
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore.
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay,
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart.
People talkin' all around,
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart.
You been bad to me woman,
But it's coming back home to you.
[Chorus]

Actually the Morrigan is a deity associated wth strife and war. The Morrigan plays an important part in the Ulster Cycle tales, especially the Tain Bo Cuilagne (The Cattle Raid of Cooley).
Yep. Just wanted to be sure we were talking about the same one. Being old, I can't keep up with all the "youngster speak" anymore so I have to clarify, you know? :D
Back in my day, we rode dinosaurs!
Uphill, in the snow, barefoot no less.
Darkesia and United russoasia
What a tremendous clip of tango! Thanks Yy for making my day, but I don't think I could manage more than a minute of that pacy, racy routine :)
This reminds me of a joke, "Back in my day, you could walk into a store with a nickel and come out with, 3 loathes of bread, a milk carton and 2 slabs of Salami. Now you can't, because there's cameras."
United russoasia, Recuecn, A fish in the sea, and Xecriussau
Bread was imbued with all-encompassing hatred back in the day.

I put a spell on you
'Cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
Your runnin' around
You know better mama
I can't stand it 'cause you put me down, yeah yeah
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
I love ya, I love you
I love you, I love you anyhow
And I don't care if you don't want me
I'm your's right now
You hear me, I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Oh, and because I have to. Here is of authentic Latvian humor. Will of much laugh. Plox no kill famile.
Man is hungry. He steal bread to feed family. Get home, find all family have sent Siberia! “More bread for me,” man think. But bread have worm.
Gesundheit.
Any chance of turning that Latvian humour into a tune with some lyrics? :)
