But you are so very cute with your gill fringes and all.
Howdy and welcome.
Would you prefer a fruit basket or a mix of various liquors?

Good Monday Morning!!!!
Are you ready for a new week?
Unfortunately I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. :)

However, on to business.
Today we rank the folks with the lowest crime rates.
Onyx and Elin are at opposite extremes on this list.
PC is on the first page; Betts is on the third (with the Axolotls);
and Mads is on the fifth.

I have vacation Wednesday on this week-
expect disruptions to the communications.

Talk about a fast lap!
We ranked the Most Advanced Defense just 11 days ago.
Guess what?

Yep. Nothing's changed. :)

Onyx, Betts, and PC sweep the podium.
Elin is cherring from page one as well.
While poor Mads is using catapults rather than mortars back on page four.

Tomorrow starts yet another mini vacation.
Communications WILL be disrupted.
Fizzy Rum WILL be drank!

Madrocea, The Onyx Front, and Primal current

Fizzy rum sounds cool

I have multiple nations, one of which is a dictatorship, and whenever I try to solve an issue for it, it turns out that it was on Axolittle… my stats are dropping, please help

Bettisia, Madrocea, and The Onyx Front

I'm Baack!
Just like bills and traffic jams.
Did you miss me? :)

Today we look at yet another of the algorithm's favorites...
The Most Armed (last visited 17 days ago).
And believe it or not, things have CHANGED!

My multiarmed self is still numero uno!
Elin has fallen two spots, but is still on page one.
Mads has improved, but still on page two.
PC and Onyx have each dropped a page, and are now on pages nine and ten.
Axolittle has landed on page seven.

Lating is in last place, hoping someone will protect him.

Well back at work.
Hope everyone has a good one!

Sounds like a Freudian Slip. Perhaps your subconscious WANTS you to have a low ranking. :)

Today's ranking just proves either that
Gun Ownership has NOTHING to do with the safety of the populace OR
that NationStates just pulls these ranking out of their...ear.

As you can guess from my inflammatory statement above,
we are ranking the Safest in Atlantis.

Madrocea and Bettisia are both on page one, though off the podium.
Axolittle is on page two.
And Primal Current, Onyx Front, and ElinTol are all at the bottom of the list.

~~You KNOW you need another vacation when the headaches
start as you pull into the parking lot.
Hope your day is a better one. :)

Anyway today we rank the Most Beautiful Environments.
This is of low priority to the Usual Suspects.

Lating tops this list, so go there for scenery.
Axolittle, ElinTol, and myself are all on page three.
Onyx is cutting down trees on page 10.
While PC and Mads are hacking away mountains at the bottom of the list.

The egg. Recognisably modern eggs were laid by various creatures starting with carboniferous era amphibians, one of which eventually evolved, over tens of millions of years, into a chicken like ancestor called the T-Rex, which laid eggs but eventually evolved into chickens. It is true. The last common ancestor of both non egg laying animals and egg laying animals was about 312 million years ago.

Well - do you mean a particular chicken or the species, a particular egg or eggs in general?

Bettisia and ElinTol

Bettisia

Good morning all!
Congratulations everyone who answered received a perfect score on their quizzes.
(I will grade any late comers as they arrive.)

Elin gets an extra bonus point for her well thought out answer.

Ba-Wu gets Mads bonus point for wishing to confirm what I am asking.

Mads, Sodium dances atop the water and then goes Boom! Big Boom!

On a safer note: Today we rank the largest insurance industries.

A bubble wrapped Iacala takes first place here.

PC bucks the US trend and is on the first page.
Onyx and Mads are both on page 10.
While Betts and Elin are refusing to gamble and are back on the last page.
Although Elin doubled down and is sitting in the absolute last spot.

Here's hoping you have nice and unexplosive day!
(Put the TNT back Igor!)

I concur, it seems as if safety ratings drop when tourist visitation sites seemingly double as explosives test ranges. Funny how that works right !?!

The Onyx Front wrote:I concur, it seems as if safety ratings drop when tourist visitation sites seemingly double as explosives test ranges. Funny how that works right !?!

Seems to me that if you'd let the tourists set off some of the explosives, that the tourist rates would at least double!
You might even be able to market it as a designer tourist/ funeral destination.

It's Frrriiiday!
Hip Hip Hooray! It's FRRRRRRIIIIIIIDAAAYYY!!!!!!!!
~~Happy Dance commences.~~

Oh well. On to business.
Sigh.
~~(Quietly) It's FRIIDAAY! :)

Today we look at the most Inclusive in Atlantis.
I only support those who are, or have in the past, worked for the betterment of themselves and Bettisia. Although janitors are often more important than CEO's. :)
So needless to say, I am VERY low on this list.
But NOT the lowest!

The Usual Suspects are divided on this whole 'inclusiveness' thing.
Elin and Mads ensure that everyone is treated the same no matter the status, work history, or lineage.
However, PC and Onyx are keeping me company at the other end of this list.
And PC is actually ensuring that I am not the last. :)

Oh well.
It's FRIDAY!!!!
Let the chair dancing recommence!

[Igor: Everyone is equal beneath thee mithtreth' bejewelled heels.]

Of course sometimes I let some people be more equal than others, but the point is, the only person who gets to pick on people in my realm is me!

Bettisia, Madrocea, and The Onyx Front

Good Monday Morning!
Have a splinter in my foot and scheduled to walk in a parade.
Sigh. The things I do for my Country.

Today we look at the Largest Agricultural Regions in Atlantis.

The Usual Suspects take both extremes of this list.
PC, Betts, and Mads claim the podium.
Onyx is over his flocks also on page one.
While Elin prefers her veggies canned back in last place.

Now, to attack the splinter AND reserve a convertible for the parade.
See, I can plan and adapt.
I'm not just a pretty face! :)

Popular Tourist Destinations?
When Bettisia was founded, I could not pay folks to come visit.
Now I can't get them to leave! :)

Lating has the most tourists.
Rick Sanchez the least.

The US are again embracing the extremes.
Bettisia, Onyx, and Elin are all on the first page.
While Mads and PC are on the penultimate and final pages respectively.

Just remember the famous motto:
"Come. Spend Money. Leave!"

Today we look at the Regions with the Rudest Citizens.
~~Speaking of rude, I have a neighbor who just moved in.
First time home owner to boot. And some 20-something guys busted his window.
Don't know if they were going to rob him or just 'getting even' for something.
Postman arrived and they scampered. (Our trail cam shows some, but not enough for ID.)
Talk about Rude!!!!

Sagelen has the nicest (least rude) folks.
Big raspberries go to Mads and Betts for being one-two.
Elin also made the first page; PC the second.
And Wow! How did Onyx end up WAY back on page seven????

Benediction:
May you meet only nice people;
have a nice day;
and may no rocks break your windows.
