Cybernations / Dark Fist

Cybernations is a great, free online browser-oriented turn-based game. The player takes role as the leader of a nation, and manages it’s economy and military – however most of the game is concerned with politics and diplomacy, which occurs outside of the game mechanics, rather largely through forums and IRC. This revolves around alliances (of players) which are very thoroughly managed, and in general have a fully functioning government, constitution, treaties, ministries, forums, IRC channel and so forth.

It’s a very addictive game, and an excellent model for real life politics and diplomacy. You should try it. And if you do, be sure to join the best alliance – the Dark Fist.

Really idiotic response to a bailout question

An insight into what would happen if Palin became President

(Note, the following was written by various authors)

Feb 2, 2011
Associated Press
Washington, D.C.
President Sarah Palin spoke from the White House today in a direct address to the American people, her first since her famous “9:00 PM” speech the night of former president John McCain’s death. She emphesized the importance of her proposed “Maverick Act” which would give the Executive Branch greater power in response to what Palin called “The Great Russian Threat.” Congress will vote on the Maverick Act this Tuesday. The Republican controlled Senate is predicted to pass it.

The powers granted include giving the president the ability to declare war without a majority vote from Congress. Opposition party leader Barack Obama called the act “the greatest threat to our rights since the sedition acts of the early 20th century.” Palin condemned Obama as “unpatriotic” and “pro-Russian.”

Moscow has continued its silence these past weeks, continuing with the diplomatic breakdown seen since Palin’s reign as president began.

“The collapse of the former United States of America is the greatest tragedy of the modern era.” Former president Sarah Palin wrote from her cell in Moscow earlier this week. She is awaiting trail by a U.N. committee for war crimes committed during her term as president after Senator John McCain died of a heart attack in late 2010. She has been accused of perjury and mass genocide for her unapproved nuclear strike of several Middle Eastern cities and an attempted nuclear strike on Russian population centers. Most of the United States was destroyed in the ensuing retaliatory strike by Russia. Casualties are estimated to be above 200,000,000 and climbing. “We could not have expected what happened, but our initial attack was justified.” Palin went on to say. She is expected to receive the death penalty.

According to sources, Palin ordered the strike without approval from Congress, while aboard Air Force One over the Atlantic Ocean. When questioned on whether or not she had intentionally distanced herself from nuclear targets within the United States, anticipating a response, Palin said her position at the time was a “coincidence.” Exactly how she authorized the strike without approval remains a mystery to this day, but it is expected to be a major topic at her trials next week.

Ironically, a radar station in Alaska suffered a direct hit from a mid range nuclear warhead during Russia’s retaliatory attack, placing 90% of Alaskans within a radioactive hot zone. Projected casualties have yet to be verified.

In the rest of the continental United States, reports are still coming in on the severity of the damage to major areas. 350,000 humanitarian workers from across Europe are currently in the country, working to rescue any remaining lives that were not lost in the strike nearly 2 years ago. To date, 175,000 Americans have been flown into England alone for treatment and general evacuation. 45% of the United States is estimated have have radiation levels that render the land “unlivable.”

The government of what was the United States was essentially destroyed in the attack, according to political correspondents. Washington, D.C. was among the first cities to suffer casualties in the 5 hour nuclear war. The majority of the American Congress was destroyed. Among the few legislators that survived was former presidential candidate Barack Obama. “We knew that Palin was underqualified and impulsive, but we never could have predicted the incredible extent of her insanity.” Obama said from his temporary residence in Paris, France. Obama is expected to lead the remnants of the American government in a revival of authority, while in exile. He is currently directing the movement of American federal funds from foreign banks. “All of the remaining money from the treasury is to be spent on humanitarian aid and resoration.” Obama said.

London, England
It has since been a long time since the collapse of the United States devastated the entire general population of the world. Sarah Palin was given the death penalty yesterday after being impeached by what was left of the US Government. She was also found guilty under three counts of what the courtroom says are “The worst possible counts of anything any one person has done”, while the leaders of Russia met with the U.N. to discuss the issues at hand with what to do with what land was left from the Nuclear strike.

In other news, as of December 2, 2012, the entire country of Iraq has joined together as one nation, and partied.

Mandatory Internet Filters for Australia

I’m sure most people have heard of the government’s internet filtering system, which they have said would have an opt-out feature.

While keeping that promise, they are now planning to add an additional blacklist – one which it is impossible to opt-out of, and one which all ISPs will have to block sites from. The blacklist itself will be maintained by the government. It will effectively give the government control to block anything they want, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

I would encourage everyone contact Stephen Conroy. I’m going to conduct an investigation over the constitutional legality of this proposal (contact me if you wish to help). The Rudd government has commented on this issue, stating that if “child porn” conflicts with the freedoms in our constitution, they are going to disagree. Well I think this is a total load of rubbish. It doesn’t take that big of a stretch of the imagination to see just how easily such a blacklist filter can be abused by the government, for matters which have in fact nothing to do with child pornography nor the protection of minors. The government can’t just “disagree” with the constitution, it doesn’t work that way – not even if they have some hypothetical moral excuse to do so.

Governments have historically appealed to popularity to institute policies of political control over their subjects, and this is yet another shameful attempt to do just this. I believe that every Australian has a duty to protect the neutrality of Australian internet, and ensure that there is no compulsory filtering.
