Hey, you started this, you guys. I never said anything about your thing (well, with the exeception of that our's is better)
(I'm a godless capitalist, I guess)
Communists coined the term capitalist.
I have never in my life met a capitalist who fits the true meaning of the word.
As long as it has elected representatives.
That's completly untrue.
That is what is called a Democratic Republic.
Iraq was a republic. China is a republic. The U.S.S.R was a bunch of republics. Uganda was a republic uner Idi Amin. Cuba is a republic. Chile was a republic under what's his name. Romania was a republic under Ceassau. Hungary was a republic under Bela Kun and that other guy.
I could go on and on.
But my point is that that is YOUR republic. Not the term republic.
Best type of government in Cantr in your experience.

Errr... neither does your queen, last I checked. Anyway, the flag is symbolic for the country.
And on the topic, I have not really had any great governments, but they weren't bad either. They just weren't what made the place good, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Just because you're older, smarter, stronger, more talented... doesn't mean you're BETTER.

I've always found that the commonwealth was never very good.
It's so decentralized, and when people start to drift away from them, instead of trying to make them happy, they kill indiscriminantly.
I have a feeling they may not last forever.

I like my one characters philosophy on government. He is the town ruler, but he wants no laws and no punishment. Those who steal and kill will not be imprisoned or harmed only offered a better path.
He also does not want the town to greedly horde materials and gives them away tobe used on other's projects whenever he sees the chance.

By that I meant a goverment that calls itself the commonwealth in Cantr.
The British Commonwealth, however, I love dearly and with all my heart.

How very stereotypical of you, my friend!
Everyone loves the queen!
My good friend, separatism is dead. The young people don't want or care about it any more.
The only reason people vote for the bloc is because it keeps the Liberals on there toes, and gets tons of benefit's for the province.
Although myself, I don't like the bloc at all.
A bunch of old men with long dead dreams, the poor guys.

Actually I believe it was King George then, but your patriotism is duly noted.

schme, I don't mean to sound antagonistic, but when you quote us, could you please not include your replies to statements inside the quotes? It's getting hard to follow the replies and it might eventually be misconstrued as libel.
