12:02AM - Poems VIII

"See the same man, in vigour, in the gout;
Alone, in company; in place, or out;
Early at business, and at hazard late;
Mad at a fox-chase, wise at a debate;
Drunk at a borough, civil at a ball;
Friendly at Hackney, faithless at Whitehall."

- Alexander Pope, from Epistle I of "Moral Essays"

This is superb! It's an on-line game where you create a country and watch it grow. It's so cool...

I've founded a little theocracy called 'Presbyterion'. Bear in mind however, this great answer in the website's FAQ:

"Q: My nation is 'the Free Republic of Bruteland,' but the UN says I'm a dictatorship!
A: You can call your nation whatever you like, but it doesn't make it true... Changing your name from "Dictatorship" to "Republic" (or anything else) has cosmetic value only."
