Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Their "glorious" leader probably found some previously unidentified archeological thingies and drank himself to death out of sheer joy
, or maybe he just neglected his people, leading to an uprise of angry people out of alcohol, thus ending his rule of the land.
Just my thinking. Could be completely wrong or just on the spot.

Hmmmm, so I can't starve my population by ignoring their pleas then. Oh well, the Dominions complete distruction would be just as good I guess.

The bottom of the pack is quite interesting except a few surprises like Bloodonya and Nippy.
I see that Tammy has mellowed down a bit

I'm now so glad about my choice of national animal...
The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Kameleon's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that lesser spotted gnats could be added to the menu.
The Debate
"The fact is, the lesser spotted gnat population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Billy-Bob Chicago. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have lesser spotted gnat kebabs, lesser spotted gnat pies, lesser spotted gnat-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."
[Accept]
"I agree that something needs to be done about lesser spotted gnat over-population," says random passer-by Fleur Trax, "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."
[Accept]
"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Zeke du Pont. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The lesser spotted gnats
were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The lesser spotted gnat is part of what makes Kameleon a great nation!"
[Accept]
I think we'll eat them.

Don't you wish that there were a few more issues? I've already turned off my daily pair. I was doing little except dismissing everything that hopped up for the second, third or fourth time.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
yeah, I know. I voted for the inclusion of more topics on the poll thing a while back concerning any updates. maybe I should try to make a program to automatically do that stuff...
