NationStates Jolt Archive

Today I got the 'Eat (national animal) issue' My animal is the dollar, representing my exterme capitalism, so it said 'dollars on a stick'. ANd the second option said basically 'we'll shoot lots of dollars and shove them in ditches.'

:mrgreen:

LOL

How many others have gotten funny issues as a result of national animal/currency, name of country, etc.? If you vote yes, then please write it out for evry1.

hehe, funny double threada psot.

apologies

With anything that's money, it'll say something like: "The government pours millions of dirty magazines into such and such."

My puppet gets all the funny ones. Such as:

"Cows on the Dinner Table?"

"The discovery of gold deposits at the bottom of a lake, worth millions of gold bullions..."

I've had "The Government is poring Millions of tons of burning oil into its Space Program" or something like that.

My puppet, Government Stinks, has the barter system for currency (because it's an anarchist nation.) So I always get stuff like "tax barter systems," and "diving for barter systems."

Market fluctuations on the dinner table?

issue of HypercapitaliZm (in the same region as one my puppets)

...compared to these nations, we are swimming in totally inflated yens...

issue of Abysmalistan (one of my puppets)

Compound interest's national animal is the fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation

national description of Compound Interest (another puppet)

For a long time, defence was the government priority of: Tottenham Hotspur FC

Some of mine:

Unemployed workers on the dinner table?
Hobo-kababs!

"The government pours millions of Canadians into....blah blah"
"Do you know how many of my Canadians go to the government? TOO MUCH!"
I'm not kidding. I put Canadian as my national currency.

My currency is the pint, so I keep getting gems like
"The government is pouring billions of pints into orbital weapons platforms"

:shock: What a waste of good beer! :shock:

A puppet of mine has Big fat guys for the national animal

"Big fat guys on the dinner table?"
"Why don't we just shoot the big fat guys and throw them in a ditch"

My brother once had a nation where Mexicans were his national animal... You can imagine that one... :shock:

Perhaps this does not really fit here, but when I do the issues of my puppets, I always get the text:
A violent majority Decides
as well as
Compound interest Decides

(AVM and CI are two of my puppets)

"The government pours millions of Canadians into....blah blah"
"Do you know how many of my Canadians go to the government? TOO MUCH!"
I'm not kidding. I put Canadian as my national currency.

I'd change that: it's against the rules to have a nationality as a currency or animal.

I'm not kidding. I put Canadian as my national currency.

I'd change that: it's against the rules to have a nationality as a currency or animal.

it's been changed a long time ago

and was that really a rule? :shock: There's way too many rules I don't know about.

"The government pours millions of cents into..."

My national animal is the bull, which is what steak is made out of. I could've obviously authorized the eating of bulls, but NationStates would not interpret it was people eating steak, but of killing some rare animal.

My puppet nation Clueruguay had an issue about "feather-bellied penguins". Is there any other kind?

it's against the rules to have a nationality as a currency or animal.
Does that mean I can't have the Vietcong as my national animal? :?

lol...you could get some really funny ones.

"Why don't we just shoot the extra pimps and push them into the ditches like normal?"

Here's one....name your currency @@CURRENCY@@...I wonder what would happen...I almost don't want to know, actually.

I got one where "teddy bears are attacking the nation" or something like that... can't remember the exact phrase.

I got this today. I changed my national animal since then.


ProtoCaf Decides:
Humans on the Dinner Table?
The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for ProtoCaf's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that humans could be added to the menu.
The Debate

1. "The fact is, the human population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Violet Hamilton. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have human kebabs, human pies, human-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

2. "I agree that something needs to be done about human over-population," says random passer-by Colin Jones, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Abraham Licorish. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The humans were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The human is part of what makes ProtoCaf a great nation!"
[Accept]

^^^^ Lmao.....If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The humans were here first, remember?

one time my currency was a penis and it said penis r attacking are antion and we should just shove penis aside or somethinof dat sort

I got lots of puppets and I get stuff like:

Diving for AKM Assault Rifles
The T-80 Main Battle Tanks are completely harmless - says X while holding one in his hands
The government is pouring millions of beers into...
We should shoot the Spys and shove them into ditches...
This will keep them from abducting our communists...

I don't even remeber them all anymore.

Rofl! I love it! :D

My national animal is the Republican. Which means...

Hihi... Republican kebabs...

Mmm...guns. Look at this nation's profile:
"Elephants are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV program in Hannitization, citizens are regularly shot for parking on the double-yellow line, and citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys. Crime is a problem."

Since my national animal is the viking and currency is the corpse, I'd have to say "yes".

from 'a taxing issue', this gem:

We've been reduced to bartering for goodness sake! I haven't seen a barter and potlatching in years!

=^^=
.../\...

The Issue
A group of 'concerned compatriots' (Citizens Raging Against the Police) have protested against the enormous numbers of policemen enforcing the law on their daily lives.

the groups initials would be Crap

I had 'Zergs on the dinner table?'

Zerg!?! The stupidity!!! I chose shooting them and shoving them into ditches because thats what I'm supposed to do. I'm an enemy of the Zerg.

I got the 'Should we eat the National Animal' one. My animal is the wolf, so my people eating wolf kabobs is pretty amusing. Also, has anyone gotten the Automobile Industry one? Where everyone's but the Union boss's answer is ended with "Argh--Let go of my throat!"? That one is really amusing........ :D

So that's what kebabs are made of...

my national animal is the sewer rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course... what fine cuisine.

My national animal is the tonsil. Are we allowed to eat that?

my animal is the cactus, so far I've got the feather bellied cactus, and apparently the rest frolic freely in my nations forests. How does a cactus frolic?

Lol, these are all really funny.

Clownopola-how *does* a cactus frolic? Still, myy national animal is the Hungry Hugnry Hippo, lol, and them frolicking should be a real sight!

A while back my currency was the slave, so i'd get stuff saying "I'm sick of the government taking all my hard earned slaves" or "Slaves have been found at the bottom of the lake", and i wondered 'how the heck did they get there in the first place!?

Oh, and the Aliens one is just genius...for a little while my currency was the bad boy, and it had 'that'll stop em abducting our bad boys" lol

oop,s that should be, my national animal, not my currency :oops:

One of my puppets had something along the lines of "weird looking Dogdogs populate the city's zoos."

As a result, of course, of the strange cross-breeding between the National animal of the Dog, and some dogs :D

I got one where "teddy bears are attacking the nation" or something like that... can't remember the exact phrase.

My national animal is the nympho so I got an issues that said
"Nympho attack the nation of ..."

Some of mine:

Unemployed workers on the dinner table?
Hobo-kababs!
HAHA! One of my nation's national animal is the hobo. :D

Pisylvania, a nation in my region, has his currency as the "pi". This made for quite a jape when he got the issue about giving aid to other countries (i think it was that one) where it said: "Compared to other nations Pisylvania is floating in pis". I know it isn't spelt right, but it still sounds funny :)

Snapping Turtles invade...
Snappingturtledogs...if that possible in any way
Snapping turtle on brink of extinion due to deforestation...

Mine is just gross since our national animal is the Slug. Slug on a stick anyone? :D
