Now you just chill and wait for issues to come in. How you handle them will determine how your country evolves. It's a slow process.

In the meantime you can RP or just hang out with the sick and twisted here in general.

A fine powder.
Where do i roleplay and how do i start?
In the RP forums in "Gameplay" (go back to the 'Nationstates' tab of the forums)
Do i need to use my brain?
Aye, and I'd lessen the Mountain Dew intake too, if I was you.

Power is very useful. Unless you need to stick things together. Then glue is the way to go.

Ok. I will head to this land of 'Gameplay' and observe the going-ons. I think thats bette rthen diving right in.

Firstly, you can do fancy quoting. Eg. 3 quotes in one post. How do i make them seperate like that?

Secondly, A passing Jew? I havent seen a Jew passing since 1934.

Thirdly, That was a lovely picture. I will print it and frame it and put it in a house that isnt mine.

ah yes, well see cupcakes vary in taste and texture depending on who you buy them from and how they're made.
For example a cupcake bought from a large foodstore may be more easily obtained than a homemade one, but they run the risk of being poorly made or too small, whereas homemade ones almost always taste better, but the time to make these can be quite a turnoff.
That is a turnoff in food terms not, ahem, other terms.
