I wonder who would steal more money from their alliance as a leader, Blackie or Rozalia?

Blackie would only steal food.

Blackie, you were in govt before for some odd reason, I dont know why someone believed it was a good idea, but after your short time, most of the memberships want you nowhere near any position of power ever again.

To be frank he was the only one who applied. I gave him a chance.

That's rather undeitylike. I thought you'd at least have a son who's also your wife/jealous ex-husband and manifestation of yourself.

If you go the greek way then it's the holy legs, but alas the greek gods weren't true gods. They had too many flaws, a true god is omnipotent.

Best Leader and Rickky

 

Guess I'm the new Sargun on the Best Fire Team :v

I'll probably land somewhere there too.

As the Deity I have no parents or wives/husbands.

Just now, Micchan said:

Over movies like Blade Runner and The thing?

 

Yep. Blade runner I've never liked. The thing is cool, but 48hrs is a movie that says goodbye to the 70s and entails the essence of the 80s. Plus Eddie Murphy when he was actually funny. My second pick would be Rambo anyway.

 

mwuahahaa

As I said on Slack I'm game.

Get info from the CIA factbook. Helps a lot.

It's Finland for me. But they are rich. I don't care to take some poor country and make it poorer.

Backround:

A military power during the 17th century, Sweden has not participated in any war for two centuries. An armed neutrality was preserved in both world wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system intermixed with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in 2000-02 and 2009 by the global economic downturns, but fiscal discipline over the past several years has allowed the country to weather economic vagaries. Sweden joined the EU in 1995, but the public rejected the introduction of the euro in a 2003 referendum.

Economy:

Economy - overview:

Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living with its combination of free-market capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. Sweden remains outside the euro zone largely out of concern that joining the European Economic and Monetary Union would diminish the country’s sovereignty over its welfare system. Timber, hydropower, and iron ore constitute the resource base of an economy heavily oriented toward foreign trade.

Economic growth slowed in 2013, as a result of continued economic weakness in Sweden’s European trading partners; Sweden’s economy experienced modest growth in 2014-15, with real GDP growth above 2%, but continues to struggle with deflationary pressure.
