Nations in real life have different names for things; I just used a norse dictionary to come up with a name to call the southern most continent Aldrvaenn (Which translates roughly to Norse as Old Beautiful)

By nations in real life, do you mean Britain, Russia, and Chile, or do you mean our alter egos? Cause I'm quite confused on that one. Probably only me as well.

Vrolondia's short story there reminds me of one of the Narnia books.. when they accidentally free that one snake witch from her dying world..

Even different US states have different names for things.. like how they call daffodils "easter lillies" here.. it confused me for a long time..

Then there are those jerks that call aluminum foil tin foil even though it's been aluminum for nearly 100 years now..

Weird. Here, Easter lilies are green stocks of grass that kind of look like fat green onions.

Yeah, sort of like how we call Germany Germany, they call it Deutschland, or how we call them the Netherlands, and the language Dutch, but Deutsche is spoken by Germans so Nederlands speak Nederlands in Nederlands, and the Flemings speak Flemish in Belgium, which is also Dutch.

I know. Just looking at an assortment of pixels on a screen or shapes on a paper and somehow we form thoughts. Then use that to try and make someone else have those thoughts too.

Huh, knocking my brain on expanding a little of Sternberg's lore by trying to "map out" an underground basilica - the church dedicated to the Apotheotic Church of the Queen Beati (the beatified monarch Helena I, who perished in the Separation War). A tad bit more difficult then I first thought going in, but I might have a dispatch with my (relatively crude) map up shortly.

Finally starting to work on national history myself. 'Tis going well so far, though my writing's fairly rusty by now >.>

Yesterday, I got the issue where you could suspend the tax code. This morning, I got the one where you went into a recession because of it. Immediate reaction. Not something you see everyday on NS.

I always find it amusing when someone asks me "How do you speak Indian?". There's no such language called "Indian" , we've got over 1500 languages over here - the national language "Hindi" is only spoken by the majority of North India. I'm pretty sure you could partition our entire country into 1500 countries , not just because of language but also culture.

Oh, don't worry about partition. They kinda are doing it internally with all the culturish stuff (ie Telangana?)

By the way, what do you speak? :P

Here when someone says Indian most think of Native Americans.. Because actual Indian folks are very rare here..

Outdated tax code issue is EVIL.. It will ruin your nation every time.. also I can't eat Belldandys because they are much bigger than me.

Just eat them the same way you eat a whopper. Gradually over the course of 3 days.

I can eat a whole whopper and fries now.. also I am angry this town still does not have a Burger King.. not had a whopper in over 8 years..
