Can I be the Poet Laureate?

A flag! We need one of those two! Someone get to it! Who ever designs it shall be the Minister for Art and General Awsomeness

and yes you may be poet Lauret (soz can't spell)

I wanna join as the countrys reprisenetive [sp] at the U.N.

I say the flag should be a nice plate with a big helping of country-steak covered in sauce
in a white background.
To represent purity and that the people eat well.

Sir, you shall. Your title is Representetive SnowCold the Brave, or any other variation

For a flag, I'm thinking a basic coat of arms will do, with Escapist-themed things in heach quarter. A Yahtzee imp has to go in there somewhere, as does Sir Schmoopy, or at least a silhouette of him. Any other suggestions?

Colors too, we need colors. I'd say we go with the traditional forum scheme of blue/white.

EDIT: Ooh, cake. The cake must be on the flag as well.

Also need a national sport. Probably would have to be forum lurking.

Hmmm. You should work in the all-seeing eye.

So who wants to be second in my crack sniper squad?(AKA the one who does the real work)

Nation Sport...interesting. Any ideas people?

call it unspecifiedistan and I wanna be unemployed.

Also what kind of natural resources are at our disposal that we can use as leverage against other countries. You know like how Russia is doing with natural gas.

I present to you, endurance looping.

Sweet! Also, how about an anthom? I'll might post one tomarrow

Also need a declaration of independence (if we're carving out a piece of America or Britain or wherever Optimus's backyard is located.) and there must be a constitution of some sort.

Nation building takes a lot!

We have pylons. Everyone knows where to go when they need additional ones constructed.

Or, we could deal in intelligence. It's quite a commodity on the internet, or so I've heard.

A secret service I could control as your private army/force?

Ahaha, so be it! that is our sport!

And resources? Why the internet of course. And all the sand you can eat!

@ Abolished- Like the SS? I like it. You may proceed.

Awesome, alright anyone for the SS team?

How oppressive of a regime are we talking here? Just so I know for future plans.

I apply for citizenship and offer my services as Executive and Chief Engineer of the Advanced Ballistics, Kinetics and Thermodynamics research branch.

Can't conquer other countries without fancy weapons.

Dibs on Chief Minister-Baron of Medicine. If someone beat me to it, Arch-Governor of Doctors.

Also, I might have a go @ Bill of Rights/Dec. of Independence/some other important document. I'll post here if I complete something.

UPDATE: Right sorry couldn't reply (trying to add all citizens and cabinet ministers as friends) so, as a gift, all motions proposed on this page are passed!

And as for oppressive...um, have you seen Equilibrium? Kinda like that. But we can work on it if you so wish...for THIS. IS. ESCAPIA!!!

Can I switch my minister of baggy sweat pants job and chairman of reeboks with the straps position to Big Brother?

Edit: Or maybe the Illuminati, the unseen hand that controls everything.

Yes you may

Right as for the Constitution! Start surgesting you ideas now

To at least feign a modicum of civility we should probably include some sort of human rights proclamation in the constitution.

Also I have not seen Equilibrium.

right ok well imagine me on a throne while everyone wears grey and walks in lines...w8 that sucks...um freedom for all instead!

Human Rights it is. Check

Writing from your perspective...

"I, Optimus Prime, Autobot King of this Nation of homo sapiens, do solemnly declare to uphold the laws put forth below, and to defend, encourage, and devote myself to those under my control."

Maybe we can go from there.

Constitution
I, Optimus Prime, Autobot King of this Nation of homo sapiens, do solemnly declare to uphold the laws put forth below, and to defend, encourage, and devote myself to those under my control.

Signed

Optimus Prime

Now every repective cabinet minister must declare their allegiance (or not if they cant be bothered)

berethond, I like your style

berethond:

This is my Constitution. Where's yours?

How awesome would it be if we can dominate other countries by just the mention of the names of our fancy weapons? Heck, it would be even more awesome if said fancy weapons that caused target nations to bow down before us, even if it's just made of paper machete and some wet glue.

EDIT: Was thinking of fancy, dread inducing names to go with our fancy weapons. Sorry

I hereby swear my allegiance to the virtual country of Escapia, land of milk, honey, lulz, Yahtzee and epic awesomeness. I hereby apply for position of Man Behind the Man (in b4 sexual jokes), influencing country policy but never beeing seen by the general public.

Optimus Prime:
Yes you may

We can just copy another country's, would save us a lot of time and effort and would still be effective.

Also, as of now I officially found the first temple of The Way in Escapia. Anyone interested in joining us in our quest for enlightenment is welcome to.
