It's good to see so many new nations coming along, and some old ones reappearing, be sure to endorse your preferred candidate for delegate, and if you want vote for me, i would appreciate it

**Storm Lord**

I figure I'll throw myself into the mix. Long live the Penguin Emperor! Now I just have to figure out how this thing works...

The Horror!

The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for The Peoples Republic of Dakka's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Articunos could be added to the menu.

The Debate

"The fact is, the Articuno population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Alexei Cohen. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Articuno kebabs, Articuno pies, Articuno-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."

"I agree that something needs to be done about Articuno over-population," says random passer-by Chloe Sparkle, "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."

"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Harry O'Bannon. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Articunos were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Articuno is part of what makes The Peoples Republic of Dakka a great nation!"

The poor articunos! Look at the wonderful bird and say they deserve to be eaten!

**Desert_thunder_heart**

Ha ha I got that one too.

**ExNoctemNacimur**

Same! Kathaaria was my second country. My first, Chinaman, was very much a joke country, with caucasians as the national currency. Think of the time when I found White Men were being served on the menu!

**BlapBlapBlap**

I think we need a revolution...

**thenoobbomb**

Not one featuring ASDFania coming out as victor, though..

**p_gray99**

How's the WA Delegate elected? Is it due to endorsements or something else?

**thenoobbomb**

It is with endorsements. The one with the most endorsements becomes WA delegate.

**p_gray99**

Ah, ok. And if they have the same number of endorsements, the old one stays on?

**thenoobbomb**

Exactly. Only WA members can endorse though.

**p_gray99**

Ok, sounds fine to me. Don't be surprised if I publish a document here saying how I should be the off-topic wastes' representative.

**thenoobbomb**

Another candidate? O noes!

**p_gray99**

I'd only want it for about half a week, then I'd let another country be WA delegate. It's just that I like having a little power now and again.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Are you able to resign?

*coughcough*corrupting, evil current delegate*coughcough*

**p_gray99**

I expect you can, you're able to resign from the WA. And it would be good for everyone to get a turn at being the delegate.

Yeah, so ASDFania can take it's place
*coughcough*powerhungry*coughcough*

**ExNoctemNacimur**

Nope! Kathaaria needs to take over! I have a 666 point plan to fix everything!

**thenoobbomb**

Just saying, if you all want New Cubeckistan away, all trying to become WA delegate yourself won't help anything..

**ExNoctemNacimur**

The difference is that the Kathaarians were born to lead!

**p_gray99**

I'm putting my vote behind ASDFania for now. Later, it will be somewhere else.

**thenoobbomb**

The Dutch were born to buy and sell everything away from everyone. Including power.

I think the lady doth protest too much...

**p_gray99**

Let's all vote for ASDFania!

The man's a genius!

**ExNoctemNacimur**

Let's all vote for Kathaaria!

We're cool and stuff! We have Pandas!

**p_gray99**

That's nothing to my Articunos!
And anyway, we all have to vote for one place, or nothing will happen. I recommend we each vote for a different place each week, so we all get a turn as WA delegate.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Pandas are overrated...

**p_gray99**

Articunos are underrated!

**ExNoctemNacimur**

Pandas are AWESOME . . . but not as cool as Articunos, I'll give you that. What's your nation p_gray?
