Fact of the Week
- The last military engagement for Liechtenstein occurred in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War. The nation sent its armed forces — a total of 80 men. When they returned, they boasted an impressive record. They lost no battles and suffered zero casualties — largely as a result of having avoided all fighting. Even though they went off to war with a fighting force of 80 men, they returned with 81. Evidently, they befriended an Italian, who chose to join ranks with the Liechtenstein troops.

Casual Question of the Week
- What is your favourite historical nation?
Serious Question of the Week
- What, in your mind, is the ideal system of law enforcement?
Dependants, Laurennia, The eternal imperials, Izimash, and 6 othersSan guglielmo, Four Sicilys, Dumoschia, Reformed capitalist scotland, Ascansia, and Badxad
What is your favourite historical nation?
The Kingdom of Hawaii. Why? Hawaii + King = Poggers
What, in your mind, is the ideal system of law enforcement?
Anarchy. Oh I think you might misunderstand me. You think I mean anarchist community safety nets or forces. No no. You know the Purge? That. All that.
Makhnovia, obviously. Either that or the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
A publicly-owned AI company that produces robots. They know the legal codex to the T, and have an in-built programme to respond to disturbances objectively, assessing the situation and deeming the best subsequent action based off of statistics and morals.
What is your favorite historical nation?
Austria-Hungary.
The fact that it was a great power in Central Europe about the size of continental France. Looked Good on the map.
What, in your mind, is the ideal system of law enforcement?
Authority relying on society's generally excepted moral principles, not brute force.
What is your favorite historical nation?
Well, It's probably obvious. Actually... Either the Norman or Scotland.
Actually... Ireland. That or Scotland.
What, in your mind, is the ideal system of law enforcement?
Libertarianism.
Anarchism.
Anarchy as in, the liberal kind.
Non-biased, good officers. You know.
We need a police reform here in America
My favorite historical nation would probably be the French Empire under Napoleon I. Napoleon appointing his Corsican family as the leaders of Europe is a gamer move.
The ideal law enforcement system is Roman Soldiers that publicly crucify criminals, obviously.
Dependants, Laurennia, and Nuvem
What is your favourite historical nation?
Early Asian Empires always intrigued me. More specifically, probably Indian or Chinese ones. Maybe Japan :o
What, in your mind, is the ideal system of law enforcement?
Anarchy. Best law enforcement is no law enforcement at all :) But otherwise, I feel like law enforcement should always be geared toward rehabilitation than retribution. Though, Ascansia's AI-focused law enforcement sounds p interesting too.
