Are there any nations with high wealth gaps but low corruption? I'm just wondering..
Also, bomb those Tasmanians for messing with our Songbirds.

Actually, the Proto-Indo-European language has been lost and scattered throughout the years. Since the question doesn't say 'magically understanding every single word, grammar and pronounciation of the language', you'll be forced to undergo years upon years of research. And then, let's be honest, English and Hindi all descend down from Proto-Indo-European, but they are so different from each other that understanding one wouldn't make you understand the other

The pirotian republic

Did you consider any other name choices when naming your nation? What were they?

This is actually my second or third main. My first nation (which never really became a main) was called Pirote, but when making a new nation I decided that I didn't like that as the official name, so The Pirotian Republic was born.

Would you Rather...

Would you Rather be able to do anything and have every ability imaginable, or know everything there is to know about everything inside of existence (this would include being able to read people's minds because you know what is in their head.) Why?

As great as the second option would be, it leaves me incapable of learning. I would be devoid of one of the biggest things in my life. I would choose the first one. The second one sounds more appealing but has hidden implications that aren't so great.

1st May 1926 (95 years ago): Ford factory workers get 40-hour week

On 1 May 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the first companies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week for workers in its automotive factories. The policy would be extended to Ford’s office workers the following August.

Henry Ford’s Detroit-based automobile company had broken ground in its labor policies before. In early 1914, against a backdrop of widespread unemployment and increasing labor unrest, Ford announced that it would pay its male factory workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours (the policy was adopted for female workers in 1916). The news shocked many in the industry—at the time, $5 per day was nearly double what the average auto worker made—but turned out to be a stroke of brilliance, immediately boosting productivity along the assembly line and building a sense of company loyalty and pride among Ford’s workers.

The decision to reduce the workweek from six to five days had originally been made in 1922. According to an article published in The New York Times that March, Edsel Ford, Henry’s son and the company’s president, explained that “Every man needs more than one day a week for rest and recreation….The Ford Company always has sought to promote [an] ideal home life for its employees. We believe that in order to live properly every man should have more time to spend with his family.”

Henry Ford said of the decision: “It is high time to rid ourselves of the notion that leisure for workmen is either ‘lost time’ or a class privilege.” At Ford’s own admission, however, the five-day workweek was also instituted in order to increase productivity: Though workers’ time on the job had decreased, they were expected to expend more effort while they were there. Manufacturers all over the country, and the world, soon followed Ford’s lead, and the Monday-to-Friday workweek became standard practice.

International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs every year on May Day (1 May).

While it may belong to a tradition of spring festivals, the date was chosen in 1889 for political reasons by the Marxist International Socialist Congress, which met in Paris and established the Second International as a successor to the earlier International Workingmen's Association. They adopted a resolution for a "great international demonstration" in support of working-class demands for the eight-hour day. The date had been chosen by the American Federation of Labor to continue an earlier campaign for the eight-hour day in the United States, which had culminated in the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886. May Day subsequently became an annual event. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on "all Social Democratic Party organisations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the eight-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace."

The first of May is a national, public holiday in many countries across the world, in most cases as "International Workers' Day" or a similar name. Some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States and Canada, which celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday of September.

ORVOS FOR ROLEPLAY DELEGATE CAMPAIGN APROACHING!

Orvos Campaign

Act 1:Inferno

Narration:MIDWAY upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.

: Where am I? How did I got there and turned into a countryball? Also, where is my running mate for RP Delegate Weatherwand?

: Greetings, I'm Virgil, one of your famous roman ancestor. You are Mr Doctors Orvos right?

: Yeah, but just call me Orvos if possible, or maybe Orvosball since I seem to be turned into a countryball? Anyway, where are we?

: You have been brought here because you are running for RP Delegate. You need to see all of this, it's important.

:See what, if I may ask?

: We are now at the gates of the Hell of still unrealized plans. Now, you will begin a journey that begins here, where you will see the plans you still haven't begun to realize. Then, you will reach the Purgatory of the half-realized plans where you will see what you have started but still haven't fully realized. Finally, you will ascend to the Heaven of what you have finished, serving to remind you of the reason why you wanted to win.

: Uh, weird but ok.

: Let's get going.

Narration: Orvosball and Virgil reach the gates of the Hell of still unrealized plans and enter.

: Here we are in the first circle of the Hell of unrealized plans: "Canon Factbooks Dispatch".

: I can't see anything.

: That's because it's still unrealized and is just an idea in your mind. Though, you can imagine it, no?

: Yeah, a factbook that will be a list of nations with their respective factbooks that can be considered canon based on how they fit in the RP with also classification like "Partially Canon" and "Outdated" other than "Canon". It's one of the things I want to do if I win the RP Delegate Election.

: Excellent. Now, let's enter the second circle.

Narration: They enter the second circle, they see a pixel art star.

: Oh, yeah! my plan to mark on the map the capitals of the nations with a star!

: You can even see a prototype of this plan here.

: Maybe we could even mark the main economic hubs of the countries with a star of a different colour, anyway. Marking the capital and maybe even the main economic hub on the RP map is one of the promises for my campaign.

:Indeed. Let's get into the third circle.

Narration: They enter into the third circle.

Narration: They see a bunch of pirates burning in flames

: And this represents... oh, yeah, my plan to add a pirate NPC by adding various small islands all around the map that would be the bases of the pirates. This is another thing I will add if I win the RP Delegate election.

: Now, let's going in the fourth circle

Narration: They enter the fourth Circle.

Narration: They see flying images of various possible words in different eras in history

: Yes... that's my plan and my promise to make new and time-limited secondary RP every 2 or 3 months after GW2 RP ends.

: Yes, do you remember the options you are planning to have for the next poll for the next secondary RP after GW2 RP?

: Yes.

Bronze Age Collapse

Antiquity

Middle Ages

Colonial Era

Napoleonic Wars

Global War 1 (WW1)

Alternative RP Timeline in which the Illuminist Pact won Global War 2

Far Future

: Finally, let's enter the 5th circle and complete our Hell's journey.

Narration: They enter in the 5th circle, they see a big REDACTED.

: Yes, this represents the NPC "Boss" I plan to add toward the end of my term if I win, which is a great challenge that the roleplayers will need to work together to overcome.

: Excellent. Now our journey into the Hell of still unrealized plans is completed, it's time to get into the purgatory of the half-realized plans.

ACT 2:Purgatorio

Narration: They are teleported into the Purgatory of the half-realized plans.

Narration: They see Orvos RP stats but with a lower GDP.

: ...My agreement with Valid to resolve the Orvos GDP Problem someone complained about some days ago, which is another thing I will do if I win.

: Let's enter in the next circle. Quickly, we don't have much time left.

Narration: They soon enter the second circle of Purgatory.

Narration: They see images of a future in which the new war system will be completed and the new economic system will be realized.

: Yeah, despite Dongerland promising a new war system it was actually already being developed under me from a Valid idea. I also promise to have the new war system be completed under me and anyone who goes on the character RP Server can see that it is already being tested. Furthermore, the new economic system is also an idea of Valid's, he proposed to me and we have already had an agreement on how it will work, and one last thing, Dongerland says under him the RP History dispatch will be updated frequently but I appointed him to update it months ago, so, it's not my fault if it's not being updated.

: Let's go.

Narration: They enter the 3rd circle and see a giant war unfolding.


: Yes, under me Global War 2 secondary RP will be realized and with the same creative vision it was meant to be.

: He he he... you have talked a lot about what you plan, but it's now time to think a bit about your past and it's time to ascend to the Heaven of what you have finished.

ACT 3:Paradiso

Narration: They are teleported into Heaven.

Narration: They see people being appointed as RP moderators, military advisors and RP historian, godmoding posts being suppressed, the map is being created continually and updated very often, stats table are frequently ticking, a lot of people having fun and enjoying the RP very much.

: Tis' my past as RP Delegate. It was a great time.

: Indeed, so why do you think you want to win now?

: I want to win in order to... continue the prosperity of the RP! Even making it better than now! And to make everyone return to Rome!

: Well, ignoring the last part, yeah, never forget why you wanna lead the RP, never forget to improve the RP, never forget the desire to make roleplayers happy.

Narration: Then Orvos woke up in his bed

: Was that... a dream? well, doesn't matter, because I need to get up from this bed and continue my duty toward the RP, lead it, improve it and make the roleplayers happy!... WAIT! I'm still a countryball!?!

END OF THE CAMPAIGN OF ORVOS! ORVOS FOR ROLEPLAY DELEGATE OF FNR 2021!

Special thanks to Kiamai for making the countryball for Doctors Orvos.

Yeah, a lot has been achieved. Working 60+ hours a week under inhumane conditions wasn't uncommon back then. However, we still see that when we look to poorer countries where a lot of the goods we use daily are produced. But even in developed countries workers often face unacceptable injustices, the best example are inadequate wages.

My Answer: No, not really actually. The Obets United Republic had been my nation in worldbuilding way before I found this game.

Fact of the Day (I will alternate between quotes and facts)

The term Swag was actually an acronym created in the 60s meaning "Secretly We Are Gay".

Would you Rather...

Would you Rather be able to do anything and have every ability imaginable, or know everything there is to know about everything inside of existence (this would include being able to read people's minds because you know what is in their head.) Why?

My answer: Well, seeing that I am a freak for knowledge, I would choose the second one. I would be able to come up with genius new inventions, and I'd also be able to come up with answers to some of the biggest questions.

I tried naming my nation to Falornia, Filipina, Varsoc, and Aina. Since all were taken I got an idea of naming my nation to Costelberg. And plus, I think I used the name as my nation in worldbuilding.
