The memory-stick on which (among other things) many all of my NS notes from the last 2½ years were stored has just ceased to function. Some of that material I can recover from elsewhere, e.g. from Imgurr or from various forums, but most of it (including about a year’s-worth of ‘update’ files to track the changes in my nations during that time) is probably completely lost… including : first drafts for three GA proposals that I hadn’t yet posted in the forums, first drafts for two Issues ditto, and the flag that I was working on for the Archipelago: Nova Sodor, please remove the ripple effect from your current designed-by-me flag so that I can make another copy of it from which to work.

Apparently subsidizing tourism caused my cheese industry to increase 11,020%. Mmmm cheese lol.

Who doesn't love cheese?

Cheddar For Life

Cheddar is Trive 38's main cheese.

The C.D.S.P.'s terrain is more suited to goats than cows, so we get variations on that. Feta, Brie, and no small amount of Gouda.

Not that cows don't exist, but we have a lot of chilly, mountainous area in our north and east and a rocky desert to the south. Goats are just more efficient there. Decent cow pastures in the western midlands, though. We get more mild cheeses from there.

We have terrible land for wine grapes, so we don't really pair our cheeses with wines. We do have great barely and wheat climates, so we pair our cheeses with beer. And our meats with beer. And our beer with beer.

Separatists really like beer.

The schnauzerlands are so large in area and have so many different climates that there's literally room for everything--cheddar, Gouda, meunster, wines, beer, goats, cows, what have you......

It was designed a cultural fusion of the Pacific Northwest and Germany, but with a ton of coast.
We could probably manage to have a little of everything, but that might interfere with beer production. Maintaining hop horticulture to sustain a nationwide demand is very difficult, considering much of our agricultural land isn't suitable for it, being too dry for large-scale production. Stouts and porters tend to be more popular in our inland regions as a result. Malt-heavy lagers, too. Its very geographic, you see.

TRIVY CONQUERED THE WORLD IN 2042 SO.... WE HAVE IT ALL AND IT EVERYTHING :3

Dead last for compassionate citizens. We don't coddle anybody, clearly.

Apparently I ceased to exist, now I exist again...what have I missed?
