That's kinda quality.

I haven't seen NS' April Fools, though my nation is a WA member instead of UN, but it doesn't link...

Has that guy "Rick" commented at all on his sudden popularity? Just curious. :p

Also, no, I haven't seen anything too clever just yet.

I wondered the same thing, but the only thing I found that promised to answer that was actually just another rickroll.

He has, there was an article just today but I can't remember where - he's a little bemused by it all.

This isn't the article but it's his views on it all

I swear to god it's genuine, I'm above this sort of thing.

As of right now, any of the featured videos on the Youtube homepage link are Rickrolls. I love April 1st and the Internet. :D

So, what are your views on Rickrolling in general? Or internet pranks?

Youtube rickrolls are for pussies, the best ones are the browser apps which play it really loud and it refuses to let you close it.

I also think that they reversed the thing for "happiest citizens." I say this only because last week or so when they did the same thing, USSKP was #2 in the region, and now is #10 out of 11. And it also says "A recent survey attempted to measure the average happiness of citizens in various nations. These results should be treated with caution, however, as results tend to fluctuate from day to day. "

Just a thought though. Maybe i've been a terrible leader for the last couple of days and my peoples or discontented.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickroll (http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?RhynoD) Apparently Rick is cool with it.

I also find it hilarious that the Youtube thing is already in the article.
