What is the most based country in the real world I would say Iceland they have epic gun and based capitalism and extremely based free market and super based low taxes or maybe it’s Monaco where there is no taxes at all gun laws are reasonable and it has a pretty free market they are also the richest nation per capita

As messed up as the United States of America is, completely as a whole, I'd have to still say it's the best country overall. Though, it has absurdities like: a 21 year old drinking age, has been at war for the past two decades, arrests people for prostitution, and corrupt corporatist healthcare system; understand, appreciate, and protect the remaining liberty Americans do have. I'm a Canadian and would love to be able to carry a gun without a license to protect myself (or at the very least pepper spray) and have my local hospital (only one within an hour) get a doctor inside it from 10PM to 6AM plus have appointments where half the time they aren't at least 30mins late that had to be scheduled 5 days in advance.

We are very possibly seeing seeing the end of the Roman Republic unfolding right now, and the American Experiment seems to have almost finally failed, but somehow it still beats the competition overall for now.

p.s. chill out a bit with the "based"

That's a relief.

Switzerland? Seems like they have pretty low taxes and less restrictive gun laws.

Medieval Iceland was supposedly the closest any country has come to Ancapistan. Almost everything in their society was handled privately. It all came crashing down when Christianity came in and people were forced to pay a tithe to chieftans who owned churches, which gave them more income and helped them restrict competition.

What is the most cringe nation in the real world for me it would definitely be north korea

My WA puppet got this telegram:

Real life fascists and neo Nazis use NationStates as a recruiting ground for their poisonous ideologies of hate. As a community, we should have zero tolerance for hatred.

I ask that you sign our petition below asking NS moderation to ban real life fascists and neo Nazis from the game forever.

90 percent of the clowns throwing those words around have absolutely no clue what they really mean.

The Swiss have the US beat for accessibility of select-fire firearms, but they need a license to legally own firearms and they still run on a may-issue carry permit system, which is almost never issued to regular citizens. Their taxation indeed seems to be not as bad though.

100% sure someone would try using that ban against libertarians. We're already in the process of being officially re-labeled as "domestic terrorists".

If conservatives want any chance at keeping America and the world free, we must work our way back into the media and in the schools, removing the lies and hate spewed by the leftist scourge, and show the horrors of communism, socialism, and marxism.

Damnit ns I keep accidentally raising taxation

Oh how I love a happy ending. But I have to ask, if that gun was locked up so that 12 year old could not get at it, would we have three dead robbery victims now?

Some thoughts on the Texas power grid failure

The finger pointing and "news" on the Texas power grid are widely varied and and lacking on hard, verifiable facts. Most of it seems to be vague references to frozen windmills and the like. While subtle, it is clear officials withheld some information for security reasons. (Can't be telling foreign and domestic terrorists right where to smack the grid so the lights go out.) But for the most part, hard facts about what went wrong are not being stated.

On a whim, and needing a break from my current project, I spent a little while digging through the net. In 2008 then Sen. Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle, "So if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted."[1][2] While not entirely successful in carrying out that exact threat, eight years worth of the US Bureaucracies carrying out Obama's environmental policies led to pretty much the same result. Between selective regulation enforcement, massive permit fees, and federally sponsored greenhouse gas litigation, Obama and company litterally suffocated many coal fired power plants.

But Obama and Co. did that with nothing reliable waiting in the wings to replace those plants. There are times the northeastern power grid is running at 98% of peak capacity and is just one squirrel away from a major blackout that will take days to fully restore.

Texas just demonstrated that very problem. Using Wikipedia as a jumping off point to dig for information, we find that since 2018, Texas took 6,453 megawatts off line because... well, coal. Here's a list of closed coal fired plants:
—Gibbons Creek in Grimes County for 453 lost megawatts
—Big Brown in Freestone County for 1,186 lost megawatts.
—J.T. Deely in Bexar County for 932 lost megawatts.
—Monticello in Titus County for 1,980 lost megawatts.
—Oklaunion in Wilbarger County for 650 lost megawatts.
—Sandow in Milam County for 1,252 lost megawatts.[3]

Of those plants, all except Gibbons Creek were not just turned off. They were irredeemably scrapped. With a few weeks work and a train load of coal, Gibbons Creek could come back on line. But by then, most of this mess will be over.

In that same time period Texas brought 1,939 megawatts in solar energy online, and 3,645 megawatts in wind energy. However, that is only 5,584 megawatts. That is a loss of 869 megawatts in generating capacity with no allowance for three years worth of growth.[4]

But it gets worse.

Texas relies on a total of 21,425 megawatts in wind energy and 3,038 megawatts in solar power.[4] Solar power doesn't work when it is covered by snow. Wind generators have been known to throw Volkswagen sized chunks of ice up to half a mile, much to the distress of surrounding windmills and property owners. Windmills are shut down when icing conditions are present. A very large part of that 24 gigawatts in unreliable green energy was offline during this crisis.

What happened in Texas is just the orchestra tuning up. If we keep shutting down power plants over the climate change scam with no reliable, economically viable sources of energy ready to take their places on the grid, there is no way this is going to end well.

I strongly implore all WA members to vote against the resolution to revoke Northern borland's commendation.

This is a classic example of the cancel culture at work. The small 'f' fascists backing this movement do not like Northern Borland's politics, so for that reason alone they seek to revoke the recognition of that nation.

Stamp out the cancel culture and vote against this [insert common street phrase for the organic waste product from a male bovine here]. page=sc

I mean the commendation itself was basically a joke to be honest lol, your'e taking it too seriously.
But I am voting against it on my wa.

I was censored on Facebook because i said girls are weird after i read a meme about a girl ranting on men and relationships on twitter. Why are social medias so strict? They say it's ''hate speech''

There is no such thing as hate speech. However the Snowflakes at Facebook like to use the phrase as an excuse to silence people they disagree with.

Regardless of your views on impeachment, should former President Donald J. Trump be barred from running for public office?

All public offices should be banned.
