If it takes a few days it can't be that powerful.

I don't really have a favourite invention but I do have a favourite erm.. thing. These scientist working on the prevention of malaria genetically altered male mosquitos to be sterile and then further genetically altered them to have glowing gonads when they're larvae to help with sorting them males from the females. Would it not be so cool to have glowing gonads!?

The Short Lived Peoples of Raven the Black have invented the Multi-Story coffin.

With such a huge population turnover, the need for a more effective means of burial, and over crowded cemetries has made this invention such a life saver(oh, how i laugh).

Some cemetries are up to 700ft high in the more run down areas of larger cities, containing 800-900 deceased in a single tower-unit. Although this does mean the grave stones are mightly huge as well.

Drunk Commies' scientists have developed overproof ethanol. Through research into quantum mechanics and many rambling and often heated drunk arguments have developed a form of alcohol that is greater than 200 proof. It was once thought that such a feat was impossible, but our ingenuity and insanity made it happen.

We invented the Plasma Dildo.

I once had this idea of a blow-up dol with an intergrated phone so you could call those sex-line numbers you find in porn mags but I'm sure someone already beat me to it..

The Bigger Nuke, and other weapons of wonderful death you wish you had. (TM)

Would it not be so cool to have glowing gonads!?Just what we want to hear in a disco/dancing. "Is that a glowstick in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me"

It's certainly something for all those Star Wars fans out there. They're very own Lightsabre!

Raisin peeler

We invented everything. Anybody who disputs this claim is lying.

The Bigger Nuke, and other weapons of wonderful death you wish you had. (TM)Makes me think of the
"Sex Bomb"; Drop it on your enemies and they'll have something else on their mind than fighting, if you know what I mean. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

We invented everything. Anybody who disputs this claim is lying.Bah, we invented the Lie.

Bah, we invented the Lie.
No!!! We did!!! Damn you!!!:mad:

The nation of Kiwi-kiwi invented the ki-nade.

The ki-nade is a handsized ball of metal, that upon pulling out the pin inserted in the top and chucking it at your opponent will burst open into a small, mechanical kiwi bird that then proceeds to attack your foe, who being naughty in your sight, shall snuff it.

Makes me think of the
"Sex Bomb"; Drop it on your enemies and they'll have something else on their mind than fighting, if you know what I mean. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
It makes them think of Monty Python?

It makes them think of Monty Python?Yes, and they'll die laughing
Muahahaaaa!

and now for something completely different.

An organized list of Avikan(Avika is now Kooncoc, so Kooncan) inventions:

military:
advenced hover tank, capable of hypersonic(above mach 5[ or seven, possibly ten] travel. Has a powerful 12-inch main-canon that shoots bunker piercing rounds of stuff ranging from depleted uranium to re-inforced diamonds. Also has 2-inch thick lead-based armor with the strength of 10-foot thick re-inforced concrete and protection from powerful radio-activity. Designed for the radio-active lands of Nermer.

Pulse-gun. Fires powerful pulses of intense energy.

15-P gun. Fires metal rocket-propelled rings.

Avikanian blade-gun. Basicly, a gun within a semi-hollow sword. Designed to slice through armor easily using advanced alloy technology.


transportation:
Warp-engine. An engine that uses the principals of quantum physics to propel a space-craft at speeds several score times those of light. Can only be safely used for travel from solar system to solar system. Average price: 15,000 Credits using my currency system:--mill*10=cent*100=dollar*5=dollar credit*200=Credit.


genetic engineering:
Uber


most important invention: Kooncan pie


Avika also invented the Kooncan formula:
If A+B=C
then A^2+AB+BC=C^2

Haven't really found anything that uses it, though.

Dehydrated water.

And a device to walk through walls. We call it 'door'.

Dehydrated water.

Damn... we invented that too.
We'll see you in court!

And we invented women.
We have come up with a few usefull things for them to do.
Not many things, though...
:D :D

i invented myrth

I invented God.

Ha! PWNED!

Gravity.

Levity (to counter Gravity, after all live should be fun)

I invented God.

Ha! PWNED!I invented myrth Ah hem

Rewriting history was probably the best invention. Thanks to that and the prior invention of Lies we've been able push every date of invention back to prehistory and claim we were first.

Pitiful. Just pitiful. None of your "inventions" would be possible without my invention.

That's right. I invented inventing.

Ah hem
Myrth ain't no God! He's the Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, and Lord of Darkness!

I Invented Nationstates

The Queendom of Graine Ni Malley has invented the following:

The edible galleon so, instead of having to buy food you can just eat your money... tends to taste like chocolate.

The parrot fashion line, because we know all parrot pirates need a swashbuckling wardrobe.

The peg-leg stamp. It's bad enough when so many pirates have sticks for legs that we decided it would be spiffy to carve pirate emblems into the bottom of the peg. Footprints in the sand are much nicer now.

The reversible flag. Jolly Roger on both sides. Yep. Fear our inventive genius!

My people of latoo invented the latoo and it is so the greatest invention ever made it is so vastly beyond reasoning that people of latoo don't even know what it does beyond the fact that it is very cool

We invented the Hypo-Croco-Pig a genetically modified female human with extremely meaty thighs and flabby mid-drift.. all of which is flaunted shamelessly during mating rituals on most weekends. THe ritual is aided by boots,skirts which are waaaay to short for such fat legs and skimpy tops which reveal acres of flesh in all its fake-tan glory.. add to this large quantities of alcopops .. and you have Marlioz's greatest invention, pass-time and export.

The great minds of Xeropa have come up with several useful devices, such as the Radiant Microshave, the Radiant Potato Peeler and the Radiant Tanning Booth. guess that's what an over-abundance of naturally occurring Uranium does for you...

Funnily enough, the great minds of Xeropa have also invented several imaginative cover-up stories to lull our populace into a sense of security over the true nature of those glowing lights on the northern horizon.

Come a visit Xeropa - the Radiant Kingdom*

*Radiation suits are not provided. You are recommended to bring your own.

That's right. I invented inventing.

A great achievement, and for that we salute you, but it drew heavily on my early investigations into self-reflexivity.

The Mortuary Guild of PasturePastry has developed a more efficent way of sending one's loved ones off to the great beyond: the Fargomatic. The device, basically a wood-chipper modified to accomodate coffin-sized pieces, can take a fully grown (and dead) adult and reduce them to slurry in about 5 seconds, allowing their remains to join the existing effluent system. Goggles are recommended attire for attending funerals, for safety purposes.

I invented "The Red Button", but I'm afraid to push it. :(

The Esky & the Hills Hoist. Pure genius.

but can it grind sand?

we also invented life with the help of raven the black,
see "two simple questions" for more details :)

oh yeah and the 'donkey seeker' is ours too, you'll never be without a donkey again! we call it a carrot

so what has your nation invented?
Insensate minds greatest invention ever was the...

"sand grinder!"

an invention so powerfull it can transorm any large rock (upto almost 3 stone) into fine grains of sand within a matter of days!

Yes, those traveled overseas and were embraced by others and came back, but they started in the US.

Foxtroid. A metroid with the cold-withstanding powers of a fox, making it invinsible because metroids can only be destroyed when cold.

The concept of inventing the act of inventing. This has been copyrighted, so anyone who steals it can be executed in the court of law.

Either fire, language, or the harnessed wheel.

I think the OP meant your NS country.

I invented (and copyrighted) the act of copyrighting. Therefore I can sue anyone copyrighting something without my permission.

I invented Czar---Max Barry.

We invented the internet!

In one of the worst patent swindles PasturePastry experienced, the legal firm of Fleesem & Grinn managed to patent nothing. At first it was hailed as the great economic equalizer, because the poor had plenty of nothing and the rich needed nothing. However, when the poor tried to sell nothing to the rich, they received nothing in return. In the meantime, the legal firm of Fleesem & Grinn had noticed how much nothing the poor had and started demanding royalty payments.

A few months later, several people died from eating nothing and a class action lawsuit was filed. The prosecution asserted that the defendant's product should have been labeled with a warning saying "do not eat". The defense objected, saying that there was nothing to put a label on. The judge agreed and overruled the objection.

The case was settled by revoking the patent on nothing but there was still the fear of nothing contaminating the nation's food supply. As a result, the Bureau of Nothing was created, whose sole purpose is to inspect food manufacturing facilities for nothing. They often find nothing, fine the manufacturer, and send observers to the facility to ensure that nothing is removed from the food before it makes it to market.

The funny thing is that a similar device exists and is in active use. It is promession, an environmentally friendlier replacement for cremation.

The process of promession works so that the dead body is freeze-dried in liquid nitrogen, which makes it brittle; then, vibration is used to reduce it to powder, which is dehydrated further in a vacuum chamber. Metal implants and mercury are separated from the powder, and then the powder is buried in a biodegradable coffin into living soil. It is completely decomposed in just 6-12 months.

But, as for inventions. Perkeleenmaa's finest scientists have invented the radio link tighteners and onion ring attenuators.

I invented Czar---Max Barry.
Damnit, where's a picture of the smoking man when you need one! Just when we get another Max=... conspiracy going too...

Also, The Tribes of Longton invented those little packets of aftershave you get in magazines, autocatalysis, autocannibalism (keeps the population in check with no nasty murder cases) and religion.

Yeah, we weren't proud of that last one, but it seems to have stuck...
