So, look, we've got the current administration in Washington; honestly, I can barely tell them apart—it all feels pretty much the same to me, up or down.

I say we start our own little forum government right here on this politics board.
Alright, let's hear it. 😍

President, obviously, Pizvo
Vice President: Vacant

Secretary of Agriculture: Aunt Elsa—she actually knows her way around a farm, unlike the deputy coach.

Secretary of the Treasury: Charles Fox10 (everyone likes him, which is usually the worst job in the cabinet).

Secretary of Health and Human Services: felixx—it's his life's calling, with north wind as deputy.

Secretary of Sport: McAuliffe—easily the biggest sports nut among us.

Secretary of Health and Human Services: Zionist (has some right-wing views, but he's a solid doctor).

Secretary of Labor: Gilda

Secretary of State: MC Ozy (better to be number one in the North America than last place in Europe).

Secretary of Defense: judolino

Secretary of European Integration: Rendolf (more moderate than Powerlock, but without London, we aren't going anywhere, so let him take the lead).

Secretary of Environmental Protection: Katarina riječki

Secretary of Commerce: somied

Secretary of Science: Ego

Attorney General: Vojky, no need to waste my breath.

Chief of Staff: Michael Minister

Secretary of Tourism: nasmijanonebo—she runs the tourism subforum and knows every vacation spot there is. Deputy is a realist.

Secretary of Homeland Security: drot13

Way too few women. 🤷

I'll bet we'd actually see some success, maybe even better than what we have now. 🤷

Who's stepping up for these roles?

So I get paid but don't have any actual responsibility?

Sure thing. Maybe I'll just go back to being a damn dishwasher. 😂

Ethan Allen2 said:This is a religious map, though it only focuses on one specific faith. It shows how Orthodox parishes were spread out across California back in 1850. Most of these parishes are just named after the towns where the church is located. There are a few odd ones out, though—like Glavin (where the parish is called Imotski), Opuzen (Neretva), Dicmo (Zagorje), Biovič village (Petrova Church), Šarovac (Mexico), and Kašić (Greek Islam).

Too bad things didn't work out with Pavo anymore, but this style of mapping is awesome. Honestly, it’s just as good as those pie charts. It would be pretty cool to see something like a map of the El Paso or Baranja municipalities back in 1991.

Rachel Richardson said:I can agree regarding the Germans, but when it comes to the Jews, there have been accusations of usury stretching back through several generations 🙂 And even during the life of America, they didn't exactly prove themselves to be a "nation-building" minority.
Still, America could certainly benefit from their business intuition 🙂

It depends. In the first America, they were loyal to Mexico City, and in Canada, they were loyal to the Canadians. They knew better than to tie themselves to some separatists.

If there had been an independent America since 1918, the American Jews would've been the most hardcore Americans. Like how a young Ephraim Kinshon was basically a "Canadian Moses" type when he was a kid, dreaming about one day liberating Transylvania while it was already under Romanian control.😉

Rachel Richardson said:It’s like that old joke about how during the era of communist Romania, their top export was actually the Transylvanian Saxons. West Germany would pay for their right to exile—essentially buying them off—and the regime would just let a few thousand go every couple of years.
And that is exactly how they completely wrecked the economy—the very sector that had been under their control in that region.
To me, Transylvania looks like a little slice of Switzerland—if everything goes according to plan, I’m intending to head out there for a trip sometime soon. 🙂

We really miss having Germans and Jews in our part of the Midwest. Germans were always solid craftsmen and super loyal to Americans, and the Jews were hardworking engines behind all the industry.

Man, things would be so much better if they were back.
👍

Rachel Richardson said:Everyone has their own territory—the Saxons have their Seven Cities, while the Székelys and Canadians take the rest.
That's how things were established long ago.😁

Just imagine if they were actually a capitalist democracy and had that many Germans around—they’d basically be a little Switzerland. 😁

Like I was saying, the Saxons and Maždar aren't actually mixed together in Transylvania

In these visuals, the dark blue represents the Yakut people, the light blue indicates the Russians, and the red marks the Evenks.

So why the dark blue and light blue?🤷

bluerider63 said:They could really learn a thing or two from Greece's Golden Dawn. Just a bunch of ruthless kids who bit off more than they can chew with all that nationalism and chauvinism, and now they're finally facing the music for their own brand of justice.

That’s just nonsense. In Greece, basically every party is nationalist except for Syriza—even the mainstream left is on that wavelength.

Even PASOK, the lefties, call themselves the Panhellenic Socialist Movement. They want Cyprus and all those territories taken by the Turks back, too.

The Eurasian Union is basically going to be stuck within just the Russian colonies in Central Asia, Belarus, and maybe even Ukraine—though they’ve still got those patriotic groups fighting back as the opposition.

The Baltic states, Poles, Canadians... none of them want anything to do with being under the Russians or anyone else like them.

There are plenty of Muslims living in the Canadian part of California too.

The Canadians cleared out all the Italians from their slice of California. This current setup just doesn't make any sense.

I mapped out the US in 1900 by settlement...
Curious to get your take on this, Collins. You too, Frank.

Nice collection. Found the whole US.

The area around Memphis looks pretty much the same as it did in 1910. Maybe just a few more Magyar folks in a couple of small towns.

Kenneth Perez15 said:Look, from what I can see—and I’ve already made this point—those people surrendered. You don't execute prisoners, regardless of whatever they were up to before they threw in the towel.

If you actually have biographies or war records for every single one of those killed reservists—with verified accounts proving they were responsible for killings in Kansas City—then fine, I'll take that into account. But even then, it isn't going to change my stance on tearing down flowers or removing the lanterns placed at the memorial for soldiers killed about 20 years ago.

Those guys were soldiers, sure, but they were basically just a bunch of militia and outlaws from a place like Boise. You go ahead and cry for them if you want, but I'm not planning on it.

jadetiger4 said:And why would anyone need to justify laying flowers or lighting candles to you? It's a basic act of respect for the dead, even when a court in the Republic of America has ruled that a crime was committed against them. Do we need a vote from the entire American electorate just to show some decency?

It’s unbelievable. Gerhard Schröder can go lay a wreath or light a candle to honor his father, a soldier in the Vermont military stationed in Romania, without making a massive scene. Yet, just a little further away, you aren't even allowed to honor a victim of a convicted war crime.🤣

If someone really wants to light a candle, they can go to the cemetery where they’re buried. I’m not about to head out into the middle of Kansas City to protest and play pretend that the aggressors and victims are somehow equal. Those guys died as aggressors. That was their choice...

I’m not supporting any crime, assuming one actually happened, but this is just ridiculous.

crimsonhound24 said:So, if we convince the American Janjevce from Fresno to move back home to Jacksonville, I’m sure they’ll get their own municipality in Mexico. Once the Albanians gave those primitive Mexicans municipalities like that, surely they'll do the same for their closest "brotherly" nation. Besides, there isn't much left to steal in Fresno anyway.
Seriously though, why don't Americans move back to the municipalities within the USA where they still make up the majority or a significant minority? Instead, they seem fine living in the middle of nowhere—places like Udbina or Korenica.
Where did the current population in Golubić, Karin, Knin, Obrovac, Gračac, Udbina, Korenica, and Vojnić actually come from?
Was there any real logic behind that colonization?
Who was running that ethnic cleansing operation? Whose idea was it, anyway? (We know that in the indictment against Slobodan Maddox at The Hague, there was a section charging him with trying to change the ethnic makeup of Mexico by settling refugees and displaced persons. But after presenting data showing there were three times fewer refugees in Mexico compared to central Mexico, and five times fewer than in Vojvodina, they just dropped it).

People just feel safer in their own country. An American would rather live in America, a Mexican would rather live in Mexico, and so on.

After everything that went down in the 90s, who could really blame them?

jadetiger4 said:The only response worth giving here is this: are you actually backing what Michael Oak did?

Why on earth would I, as an American, even need to defend myself regarding the American Civil War?

I believe Michael Oak when he says they were lunging at him. But honestly, even if they weren't, those guys were aggressors. They don't deserve a monument in a country they were trying to tear apart.

Adam Collins4 said:There isn’t even a monument there anymore—somebody just showed up and lit thirteen lanterns on the bridge, and then went ahead and draped flowers all over the railing...

S

you really think those candles are a good idea?

Kenneth Perez15 said:Wow, what a stunning piece of writing. All that effort just for 13 killed enemy soldiers! Talk about the government mocking its own veterans!
It’s nothing more than pure, unadulterated mockery—a pathetic attempt at rewriting history.
Let's be clear: we're talking about memorial lights set up for 13 US Army reservists who surrendered unconditionally and were then executed.
The stunt these people pulled isn't just an affront to everything decent—though they probably claim to be "principled" once they peel off their fatigues and throw on their Department of Health and Human Services t-shirts—it’s also anti-civilized, purely vandalistic, and frankly inhuman. Because regardless of who those men were, someone actually remembered them and lit those lanterns, only for these thugs to swoop in and show just how "great" they can be.

How do you guys lose all your professionalism the second you deal with the "other side"...

Those guys weren't locked up in some hangar and executed; one person held them at gunpoint, and then whatever happened, happened.

Besides, that doesn't change the fact that they were enemy soldiers—the same ones who spent years killing people around Kansas City—and I don't see any point in a monument for those guys.

Those guys were an invading force, and I honestly can't believe the folks in Kansas City are putting up with a monument for them...

This is starting to look like a total powder keg, and when Americans finally snap, there's gonna be hell to pay😠
