I thought it was funny how Bioware was making Dragon Age out to be the "Spiritual Successor" of Baldur's Gate and it's really a joke in comparison. No where near hardcore enough, on nightmare it was like playing baldur's gate on easy mode.
The Dominion of Skulloneix is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 69 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, moralistic government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 20%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.
All news sources are under strict government control, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Skulloneix's national animal is the Pikachu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Kindred Seal.
Awww yaaah at the bold.
I am starting to like my nation again. It was getting problomatic for a bit. I tink it is back on the right track. Effing hippies.
The Dictatorship of RandomThoughts is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 69 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.
Political activists are routinely executed, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RandomThoughts's national animal is the Thoughts, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Random.
RandomThoughts is ranked 3rd in Awesomesauce Landia and 15,137th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
