Huh, that's completely different from what I heard. Sure, the initial episodes were a bit meh (I saw some) but apparently the later ones made up for it and it's got pretty good plot twists I heard.

Tiku , you should drop Star Trek and watch Babylon 5 instead. You'll then find other shows to be lackluster in comparison
Hahahaha Damn, Alrighty then, Let's all forget I said that.
Hmmm, do I sense a Star Wars fan?

It's what happened to your pet hamster Mr. Fluffles but your parents never told you about him! He DIDN'T go live in a farm upstate!
[P.S. Population is factor how long your nation has been active. Nations with 1 billion population {aka pop} have usually been active for roughly 1 year. You reach 2 Billion before your second year though, it grows exponentially then. Those with over 5 Billion pop have usually been around for 4-5 years. 10 Billion pop - 20 billion have been around 10 years or so and over 20 Billion means 10-15 years I think.]
Get Netflix man! That's what I use.
Oooooh Okay, I'll check it out. Gotta start Babylon 5, I hope it's on Netflix or something.
ALRIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTTYYYYY then, I'm just going to stick to Doctor Who and Stargate.
The only shows I know what I'm talking about. Well, that plus Great Designs & the Great British Bake off.
Man I love baked stuff (not a weed reference)
Sadly, it is my kryptonite. Having a high metabolic rate is okay since I can't get fat easily but it sucks because it means I won't enjoy cold weather and playing around in snow :(
Woa, extreme temperature swings! I can handle 40ºC, but -30ºC? nay. Also, I'd recommend beef bowl ramen with fried garlic and egg.
Nope.. it's only the beginning! Spring is coming...
oh an issue!
Anarchists have been covertly putting up anti-government posters all over Thembria SSR. Some of your closest advisors have suggested the implementation of a secret police force to deal with the more... difficult members of society.
The Debate
“Sometimes a government has got to deal with something without having to go through the ‘proper channels’,” says ‘Jean-Paul’, who does not exist within any government records. “It happens sometimes and we have to deal with it. It’s not just anarchists either - it’s the terrorists, the criminals, the traitors, and the goddamn hippies. With a secret police we can arrest the troublemakers and torture them to find other dissenters without having to worry about fiddly matters like human rights.”
“Don’t listen to that idiot!” whispers Nomfundo Meier, one of your more guilt-ridden henchpersons. “I don’t know how you feel about this but I think this would be a bad path for our government to go down. Thembria SSR shouldn’t resort to deceit and off-the-record brutality to put away people. A secret police force would ruin our fine nation. It’s time our government was candid with its people and let them say what they want!”
“Or how about we be candid AND have a secret police force,” says Wesley Stone, your head spy from behind a newspaper with eyeholes cut out. “We could just reassign all the normal police into secret police. The beauty of it is that we won’t have to bother solving crimes if it doesn’t benefit the government! It’s what we’ve always wanted! Not what the people want of course, but if they complain we can just make them... disappear.”
outcome:
Seconds ago: Following new legislation in Thembria SSR, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls.
How the bloody hell did that increase civil rights by 26%!? Do people now want to be oppressed!?
YAY!!! I am back in the top Top 10% of the world for Most Extensive Civil Rights.
*Waves the Davsland and Nordic Flags furiously*

*Wonders while eating a chunk of old cheddar cheese*
Did everyone change their flags to green?
Or was it just Ramsea? o.o
Wan Nyan and Tiku
Mine was always white and green. Thembria always had a green background :D
Ramsea boy definitely changed to green.
I guess we're closer to Forest than we thought.
I haven't changed in a while.. I really like this one though..
It's Homura! best magical girl!
You might need to hire some bodyguards. So many nations who challenged ST end up missing...
o.o
Tamanian, Wan Nyan, Tiku, and Prunasia
But.. I kinda wanna try for delegate in spring..
391 days though? has noone stayed delegate for 3 terms yet? all at once?
In Texas and Canada there is/was. In Yggdrasil not yet. Not sure about our other friends and allies.
NANI??!
THAT devious Weed Santa :D :D Hmmmmm must watch my back
No no you can try for Delegate in spring I am not standing this spring. I am the nation at the North Pole (We don't do so well in the summer :D). I might stand again in Winter after your term (If you haven't burnt anything down :D :P )
Yeah Yggdrasil hasn't had anyone for 3 terms... Yet. [
The Debate
“We should seek out new life and new civilisation,” implores William Kirk, an elderly utopian SF author and astronomer. “There are trillions of stars, and it’s mad to believe Earth alone harbours intelligence. There might be alien green-skinned lovelies, just waiting for contact with a real man. We need telescopes and exploration probes, aimed at the second star to the right, and straight on till morning. Show some enterprise. See what’s out there... That-away.”
Accept
“They call it a space race, but being first at any cost is not always the point,” suggests reformist politician Patrick Picard, looking suspiciously at five lightbulbs illuminating the room. “Attend to the small details at the Serjoan Space Agency. Are they assimilating all the men and women needed, in an equal and fair fashion? Sometimes a counsellor can be of as much value as a pilot.” He takes a sip of hot Earl Violet tea. “I may be accused of being overly methodical, but these things matter. Suspend launches for now, and attend to infrastructure. Make it so.”
Accept
“Space, I regret to say, is a dangerous place,” offers gruff base-commander and part-time gourmet chef Avery Sisko. “It’s not just about science, nor about being an emissary for corporate profits. It’s about security. Near-Earth space is getting crowded, with a multitude of nations seeking absolute dominion. You don’t want the East Lebatuckese to get any further with their space program, do you? Who knows what they’re doing up there with that Sputnak satellite? We need a new kind of space ship, to show our defiance of those agendas. One with guns. Lots of guns.”
Accept
“Is anyone else here kind of bored?” yells young tearaway William Kirk Jr., revving his motorbike as he rides into your office, in clear contravention of rules and regulations. “We gotta make space exciting again for people, make the old things new again! Not just dry data and lore for tech-geeks, but awesomeness for ordinary people who like explosions, and lens-flared sunsets, and stuff like that. Reboot the Space Agency! Let’s have firework displays, televised low orbit skydiving, and celebrity astronauts with great hair! I dare you to do better!”
Accept
While we were on the topic of Star Trek. I got a Star Trek themed issue :)
Did, I just hear, HERESY!?
I have Netflix but I haven't seen the show on there, and if it is put on Netflix then I'll maybe watch it with the key word being "maybe" since it retcons the universe that has been set up.
Are they missing? Or alternatively viable?
