Hi. I am joining you, once again.

[Az]

Sadly, my glorious nation of Dark Valley is gone now, so I am back, with a tiny state, the People's republic of Azan.

I've decided to return mostly because it seems that FINALLY we have a map.

[Drogue]

Nice to see you back Azazel. CW's map is pretty impressive

It's summer vacation, and boredom sets in.

[Az]

what boredom? I am between tests.

I have a great summer ahead:

tests, London poly meet, Army, pehaps some more tests.


wait, nm.

[Urban Ranger]

Nice place to rack up your post count, too

[Az]

Be quiet UR!

[Drogue]

And there we get the realm use of NS. I have just got a job starting in just over a weeks time Wch means from then I might be a little less active, though I don't think it will have much effect.

[Urban Ranger]

Less active than now?

[Az]

I think that must be "Dinosaurs" level.

[Drogue]

lol. I meant myself being less active on NS as a whole. I usually post a couple of posts on this and the main NS board per day

[Az]

That's a shame.

[Urban Ranger]

How's your country coming?

[Az]

Growing. 20 Million people now.

The People's Republic of Azan is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 20 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

Euthanasia is legal, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, voting is compulsory, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Azan's national animal is the oran-gutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the The Azani pound.

Slowww days

[Az]
