I love that death rate is measured using the bus surprisal index, although measuring authoritarianism in millistalins is also great.

Patriotism by "Flags Saluted Per Person Per Day", let me tell you why:

It takes at least 20 seconds to salute a flag for respect, that means that if we take the most patriotic nation is Refugia, Typica, it has 80 flags saluted per person per day.

No one is that dedicated to their nation to the point of spending 26 minutes of their day saluting their nation's flag

That means the most patriotic nation (which keeps changing) in the world has an hour and a half of saluting flags.

I took flags to mean individual flags and not the same flag several times a day, now I’m imagining each citizen spending hours a day driving around looking for flags to salute, stopping at each flag to say a nice long pledge of allegiance like they used to make us do in school in the US, then looking for the next flag.

Speaking of ridiculous quantities, how on earth are they measuring pounds of wildlife per square mile for environmental beauty? Are they just making a list of every single plant and animal in the country and estimating their weights? Or are they somehow uprooting entire square mile sections of land, separating out the dirt and rocks, and weighing them on massive scales before puttinf everything back the way it was?

Typicans very efficiently amplify their patriotic displays by saluting multiple flags at once. Legend speaks of residents who collect cultural flags as well as the many regional flags to be included in their awestruck moments of national affection.

Measuring apathy with units of "whatever" is ..

I got two I'm very fond of:
Recreation drug use measured in pineapple fondness is just so on point for stoners.
Manufacturing industry in Gooback-Jerbs is some excellent homophonic pun work.

In regards to user-country relationship, yep it pretty much sums up most of my irl pol views, same to the country-factbook relationship since I am in the process of worldbuilding this nation from ground up so it has to be consistent with what I know most of.

Question for y'all that collect cards, do you have any random collections that are just for fun?

Tiralta wrote:Question for y'all that collect cards, do you have any random collections that are just for fun?

I've collected all the Refugia Season 2 cards and I'm in the process of collecting all the Season 2 cards for Spiritus and Meihua.

Everetunga-Hari wrote:Question for y’all, do you think that your nation states country matches your irl political views? [SNIP]

I currently play 4 countries in NS. Each of them reflects my political views to some extent. This one (DV-IV) is probably the one closest to my own views, with extensive human rights, radical environmentalism, and many social practices.

Tiralta wrote:Question for y'all that collect cards, do you have any random collections that are just for fun?

Most of my cards fit that description. I keep them for their aesthetic or sentimental value.

That's a nice idea. Now I've a few that are pretty safely holding my badge for me, I'm thinking more about cards I actually want to have for myself along these lines.

Everetunga-Hari wrote:Question for y’all, do you think that your nation states country matches your irl political views?

Mostly: No.
In regards to airplanes, cars, and night creatures roaming the streets: Yes.
