Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 19:29
Now that I've got a shiny 500 million, I decided it was time to fuck around with the Sultanate. I ate some satsumas...so it became The Satsuma-consuming Sultanate of Gruenberg. Then I saw my goat (a fluffy exam mascot, not a real animal, unfortunately), so I briefly rejoiced in being The Goat of Gruenberg. Now I've gone for a cunning amalgamation:

The Partially Hydrogenated Lands of Czardas
The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation
The Democratic Capitalist Empire of Swilatia
The Finger Licking Good Commune of Ivan the Terribly Gr8
The Privately Owned Beach Resort of Lord of Mordor
The Crowded Bread Lines of Oompa Loompa Orphans
The Massive Corrupt Conglomerate of World Inc
The Slave Plantations of Darth Mario
The Fuel-Injected Federation of Texan Hotrodders
The Tire-Burning Torque Empire of HotRodia
The Superlatively Sacred Domain of The blessed Chris
The Grammatically Sound Republic of Passivocalia
The Mercantile Colony of Passivocalian Guiana
The Comical Misadventures of Rocksteady and Bebop
The Quadruple Monarchy of Czekoslovastria-Ungary
The Wholemeal Bread of Cheese Penguins
The Rouge Nation of Flibbleites Puppet
The Melancholia of Gloom of Doom
The People's Republic of Hurtful Thoughts
The Ub3rd00mday3rs of Evil Woody Thoughts
The Bavarian Auto Factory of Ness Snorlaxia
The ABBA Worshipping Nation of Lycia City
The Shiny Atheist Swords of The Noble Men
The No Man's Land of No TV and No Beer
The Radioactive Biohazard of The Valdesian Frontier
The Supreme Zeppelinocracy of Z0S0
The All That Is Unholy of Lois Must Die
The Thingamajig of Unjubbi
The Genderless Empire of Mashtopia

(Note: it doesn't have to be your current one, but it has to be one you have used at some point, for however briefly.)
Czardas
25-10-2005, 19:48
Here are mine:

The Enlightened Rejected Reality of Czardas — From the quote "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" in someone's sig, and then with my education funding going up, I became enlightened.

The Awesomely 1337 Powerhouse of Czardas — My private sector went from tiny to powerhouse in a few days; I like 1337speak; and I'm awesome (as we all know. :rolleyes: )

The Partially Hydrogenated Lands of Czardas — "Partially hydrogenated" always seems to be accompanied by "soybean oil" in ingredient lists... but I found out what it means: part of it has been combined with hydrogen. Considering Czardas's extensive river networks...the next step was natural.

The Freedom-Oriented Cultists of Czardas — Czardas is completely made up of the members of various cults, and its freedoms are extreme, so what do you think I did? ;)

The Unmoderated NS Forum of Czardas — Back in my days of anti-modship, I decided to demoderate myself. This was the result: an unmoderated forum...

M'kay. I think it's only fair if we limit to only one per nation for the moment, although it'd be nice to hear about other ones too, like Czardas. So, post as many as you want (within reason), but also nominate which one you think is your 'best'.
The Kraven Corporation
25-10-2005, 20:36
The Totalitarian Military State of the Kraven Corporation

Try saying that when your drunk :D

Hmmm... It's between #1, #3, and #5 so far... Let the judges decide.
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 20:49
Well, I'm going for #1. And thanks for entering, TKC. Keep 'em coming.
Swilatia
25-10-2005, 20:55
I am entering my title, The Democratic Capitalist empire of Swilatia, in the contest.
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 21:01
Thanks for entering, Swilatia.
Itinerate Tree Dweller
25-10-2005, 21:49
The Finger Licking Good Commune of Ivan the Terribly Gr8
The Privately Owned Beach Resort of Lord of Mordor
The Sharecroppers of Rebel Resistance

Oh, these are good. Definitely going in. Thanks, ITD!
HotRodia
25-10-2005, 22:39
The Fuel-Injected Federation of Texan Hotrodders
The Tire-Burning Torque Empire of HotRodia

I could post a lot more, but I'm lazy and don't want to give away all of my puppets.:p
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 22:43
Duly noted. And your apparent Imperium of puppets sometimes worries me.
HotRodia
25-10-2005, 22:47

:confused: Why is that?
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 22:50
:confused: Why is that?

I mean that you seem to do an awfully good job of keeping secret your puppets. Remember this is coming from someone who took a while to clue HR=TH. What if you stumbled across one of my evil International Federalist puppets?

Ok, so I don't have that, but the general idea...we basically know who's who in our interactions on NS. And I'm not that cynical, although I try.

Ah. You're worried you could end up debating me/roleplaying with me and not know it's me, is that it?:)

Wait a minute...you do know that I have a nation in your region, yes?:D
The blessed Chris
25-10-2005, 22:54
Now that I've got a shiny 500 million, I decided it was time to fuck around with the Sultanate. I ate some satsumas...so it became The Satsuma-consuming Sultanate of Gruenberg. Then I saw my goat (a fluffy exam mascot, not a real animal, unfortunately), so I briefly rejoiced in being The Goat of Gruenberg. Now I've gone for a cunning amalgamation:

The Mighty Goat-loving Satsumate of Gruenberg
The Partially Hydrogenated Lands of Czardas
The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation
The Democratic Capitalist Empire of Swilatia
The Finger Licking Good Commune of Ivan the Terribly Gr8
The Privately Owned Beach Resort of Lord of Mordor

(Note: it doesn't have to be your current one, but it has to be one you have used at some point, for however briefly.)

Ive got "the superlatively sacred domain of the blessed Chris".

Don't try to speak it quickly.
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 22:57
Thankee, and added.

And yes, HotRodia, I guess that's it: it's not specific to you of course, but I would be worried about encountering a puppet of an experienced and good NSer and not knowing it was them.
Passivocalia
25-10-2005, 23:00
The Grammatically Sound Republic of Passivocalia

The Mercantile Colony of Passivocalian Guiana

The Comical Misadventures of Rocksteady and Bebop

The Quadruple Monarchy of Czekoslovastria-Ungary
(I actually don't have quite the population to pull this one off just yet.)
Gruenberg
25-10-2005, 23:03
I'll add it anyway.
Cheese penguins
26-10-2005, 01:10
The wholemeal bread of cheese penguins

i like it anyways... :)
Flibbleites
26-10-2005, 03:38
Here's a couple of mine.

The Rouge Nation of Flibbleites Puppet

The Union of Redneck Mechanics
Gruenberg
26-10-2005, 07:50
I'll add them. I like 'the Rouge Nation' especially...I seem to remember you and TH going to town on the UN resolution that refers to rouge nations.
Liberated Vortigaunts
26-10-2005, 11:21

Rouge? Is that some cryptic reference to communist nations? :confused: :p
Gruenberg
26-10-2005, 11:23
Laugh all you want...but you'll be telling a different story when they threaten YOUR nation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7029593&postcount=9).
UN Building Mgmt
27-10-2005, 00:21
Admittedly I don't have mine yet (haven't hit the 500 mil. mark yet) but when I do I'll be The Bureaucracy of UN Building Mgmt.
Dun Eideann
27-10-2005, 00:57
The Melancholia of Gloom of Doom
Gruenberg
27-10-2005, 01:01
Added!
Flibbleites
27-10-2005, 04:59
Gruenberg you missed a word on one of mine it's The Rouge Nation of Flibbleites Puppet. The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites had never changed their name, unless you count the short while that I the word "holy" in the pretitle in order to get an easter egg issue.
Hurtful Thoughts
27-10-2005, 06:11
The People's Republic of Hurtful Thoughts
Explaination:
The People= masses of the world, generally unrepresented minorities.

Republic= unified, represented by few, so that they don't have to worry

Hurtful thoughts= Ill intentions, Plotting and schemeing

The people's republic is the perfect oxymoron, one group of people do the dirty work of everyone in the world.

There could be another PROHT, unless you still opt to decentralize your warmongering.
Evil Woody Thoughts
27-10-2005, 06:34
The Ub3rd00msay3rs of Evil Woody Thoughts

I tried to make it Üb3rd00msay3rs, but NS didn't like the umlauts:(
Ness Snorlaxia
27-10-2005, 07:36
Hrm... well...

The Bavarian Auto Factory of Ness Snorlaxia (had this for a bit after I reached 500 million)

The ABBA Worshipping Nation of Lycia City
Gruenberg
27-10-2005, 11:55
Thank you all. Added, and duly noted Flib. We can probably start judging soon.
The Noble Men
28-10-2005, 00:19
The Shiny Atheist Swords of The Noble Men.

My ring is shiny, I'm an Atheist and I like swords.
Gruenberg
28-10-2005, 00:24
The Shiny Atheist Swords of The Noble Men.

Ok...
The Noble Men
28-10-2005, 00:26
Ok...

*realises the double entendre*

I meant my shiny silver ring. It's an article of jewellery. It's shiny because I polish it most days.
Goobergunchia
28-10-2005, 00:30
I kind of liked "The Poskrebyshev of Poskrebyshev of Poskrebyshev".

And of course there's always Slaggy's uber-awesome pretitle that I have logged on my computer somewhere....

Was that when he changed it to the entire words of "I'm the very model of a modern Major General?"
Goobergunchia
28-10-2005, 00:36
Indeed.

And while I'm thinking of it, Neut's old pretitle was pretty awesome as well.

Spotlight on:

The Evilly-Biased Power-Hungry Conservatively-Liberal Rampaging Virginal Sex-Fiendish Homophobic-Bisexual National-Socialisticish DEAT-Happy Judge, Jury, and Executioning Moddom of Neutered Sputniks

Ecopoeia
07-11-2005, 21:43
Some of my own (probably not all that great):

The Cloud-Water Community of Ecopoeia
The Dissolute Libertines of Werteswandel
The Confederation of Anarcho-Dandyists (CADs - geddit?)

Unfortunately the title I'm most proud of is under wraps for the moment...

The Krytan Wasteland of Kryozerkia

The Marijuacracy of Farflorin...

I can't remember what else I've used for Kryozerkia...
The Eternal Kawaii
08-11-2005, 02:06
The Holy Otaku Church of the Eternal Kawaii

"Church" - Yes, Our nation is a Church, not a secular State. It makes for some interesting debates in the NSUN.

"Otaku" - For those not in the Japanese manga and anime fandom, it means roughly, "fanatic". Our ruling priesthood adopted the term for themselves, ie. they're a bunch of religious zealots.

"Holy" - Well, you wouldn't want Us to be an unholy church, now would you?
The Palentine
08-11-2005, 04:22
The Evil Conservative Empire of the Palentine jumps into the fray! on second thought I'll get back to you. in another week we'll be hitting 1 billlion, so we might have a name change then.:D


P.S. and yes "we" do have a tapeworm.(egregious Mark Twain reference!):p
Random Kingdom
08-11-2005, 22:44
I'll enter "The Semi-Technocratic Collective of Random Kingdom" although my old "The Ping-Pong Ball of Random Kingdom" title is more humourous - I used that one after entering the Golden Hills region for about the sixth time.

Motto: "United by ourselves", underlining the mostly casteless RK society.

It's a semitechnocratic collective as the people rule themselves by enforcing their rules on themselves with a supercomputer and its cyborgish "enforcers". I think of my nation as a donut with the "semitechnocratic" part in the middle.
Tannenmille
08-11-2005, 22:52
I control the nation "The Peoples Puppet" and have used the following titles:

The People's Republic of The Peoples Puppet (Yes, I know it's a default one, but it just fits perfectly.)
The Ascended Cowbells of The Peoples Puppet (with the motto "Follow the Greylight". Anyone who knows of the Genos will understand.)
