Can we please see a national factbook for Quebec? Is French the only language or do they speak English as well?
Land Of Confusion: The Wild Ride of the 2012 IRNA Presidential Election
- Thread starter Chipperback
- Start date
Quebec is bilingual, but in most areas, its wise to know some French. In most border areas around Quebec (northern IRNA, Maine, Vermont), it is quite common to see signs in French and English.
Factbook on Quebec: I may have to get around to that soon, given escalations we are seeing from Maine now.
T-160 bombers are on the ground in the Maine Republic.

I’m a public school teacher now...liberal Democrat too so I guess it didn’t take...
Interesting, i always wondered about how that place was in real life. Just one more question about the place, how did the school regard the Roman Catholic Church, I only ask because I am one and heard that a "professor" their went off on a anti church rant.I’m a public school teacher now...liberal Democrat too so I guess it didn’t take...
Catholicism was a borderline heretical cult...they denied salvation by faith alone and worshipped Mary as a co-equal with God therefore blasphemed God. I believe when Bob Jones Jr (who died in 1997 at the beginning of my freshman year) was quite a bit more vocal in the 70s and 80s about Catholics. He was best buds with Ian Paisley who came to speak on campus repeatedly if that gives you an idea. Part of the reason the school and George W. Bush got in hot water after W came in 2000 before the SC GOP primary was reporters finding sermons from Bob Jr calling the Catholic Church “anti-Christ”.
You’re welcome to PM me if you’d like any more gory details about the World’s Most Unusual University!
From your description jones makes liberty university sound like a liberal bastion
From BJU’s perspective it certainly was! Liberty didn’t have nearly the restrictions on student life and behavior that we did...the theology and political worldview was basically the same but Falwell founded the school as a BJU clone, then moved it more mainstream to attract students in the late 80s/early 90s which set them apart from the Bob and made them much, much more successful.
Falwell always was more concerned about practicality than actual belief
And political power too...the Bobs valued purity of belief over those things.

@Chipperback, would you mind telling me which European countries are with the ECM/Free World and which ones are with the Orlando Pact (besides Greece, Portugal and Russia)?
....add Serbia and Albania to your list; AFAIK.
Slovenia has been taken out of the equasion. Niki and Karl weren‘t allowing this shit on Austria‘s front porch.
But- every European political scene has its share of Orlando-sympathizers. Sometimes less powerful, sometimes more dangerous (NDPD and FPÖ to the latter, the DP not such a problem). Sometimes just loosely connected by the attraction of opportunity; sometime „holier than the pope“.
Generally, the room for appeasement has shrunk considerably. The major ECM-Powers (UK/F/I/Iberia/Scandinavia) have grown tired of such nuisances. Merkel‘s and Rau‘s successors will be even more anti-Orlando than the well-known Kanzler of recent years. It is also hard to tell who is more disgusted by the Orlando-ideology of perverted Christianity; Staatspräsidentin Göring-Eckard, Bundespräsident Edwin Moses or the Catholic monarchs of the South.

Wouldn't the Quebec Intelligence agency (what are they called?) be like: "Holy crap, he might be Confederate plant. We have to investigate!"

Iceland vs. England -- Cinderella Iceland stunned England on Penalties to advance
Denmark vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina -- On the prior Sunday, "The" Zlatan was kicking four field goals in a Minnesota Vikings win that propelled them toward the PFA playoffs. Three days later, he was setting up two goals in a 3-1 win in Sarajevo...setting up a climatic playoff match the next week in Reyjavik.
Iceland vs. Bosnia -- Despite a key goal by Zlatan to tie the game in 80th minute, Jón Daði. field back with shot of his own to lift Iceland into the Lucozade Playoffs.

CONCACAF (5 automatic bids + 2 Wild Cards)
The top of the table feature one of the odds-on contenders for Scandinavia 2018 and the darlings from 2014, and they played two brilliant matches down the stretch drive of qualifying.
The Great Plains United Republic took the table on goals aggregate after splitting with the Republic of Greater California. The RGC, led by a galaxy of starpower with Lester Hayes Jr. (Crystal Palace) Robbie Rogers (Los Angeles Galaxy), and longtime stalwart Landon Donovan (electrifying France with PSG), are considered a team that will give a lot of sides a run for their money, and could finally elevate team boss Cobi Jones to a high-level position after the Cup.
The Lone Star Republic of Texas-Louisiana made up for disappointment four years ago with a strong drive to make the Cup. Clint Dempsey, patched up difference with LSR manager Roberto Hernandez to score or assist in 6 straight games to lead the Lone Stars
Mexico brought a "youth movement" to qualifying and after a rough start it bore fruit for El Tri in key wins over the GPUR and the IRNA, and it kept pursuers like Utah, Ontatio and Haiti at bay for the final automatic transfers.
Costa Rica got the return they were looking for from success Under-19 and Under-23 teams in recent years with a young attack-counter style that outpaced Haiti and Ontario for the last automatic transfer.

AAFC (4 automatic bids + 2 wild cards)
The usual suspects took their places in Asia-Oceania. Japan, ANZC, Korea, and Palestinian Republic took their places.
But the wild cards are surprises, both close to gaining a World Cup debut. Vietnam could have their best chance since missing qualifying by 1 game in 1986 and another plucky cinderella in Kurdistan who stunned the Palestinians 2-0 in Haifa to get that last spot.
CAF (4 automatic bids + 2 wild cards)
The African qualifying tournament was influence greatly by the political situation on the continent. The Nigerian and Congolese teams both were disqualified due to a political and competitive issues over the divorces pending in the two countries.
With that in mind, Africa 8-team final round saw some debutant nations finding a path to the Scandinavian Union.
South Africa -- Steve Nash retired from active competition in 2015...and was named as the team head man 6 months later. Skeptic guffawed the choice, but Nash, one of the greats of general, shows strategic chops in leading the Bafana Bafana to the top of the qualifying table.
Algeria -- Team manager Zinedine Zidane says "We're are going to be the GPUR of 2018."
Ethiopia -- No playoff needed in 2017. The Walias are going through
Libya -- "Muommar's Monsters" and gadly maestro Bora Multinovic broke through with 4 straight wins to secure the berth.
CAF WILD CARDS: Angola, Mozambique -- Two team who play the quick-strike attacking style of Portugal. Players to watch: Jacinto Dala (Angola) -- Soccer fans in North America know this guy two-time all alliance at Howard Freedom University (and leading scorer on their Alliance College Cup Champion team in 2015), and now among the snappy scorers for the MLS's New York Cosmos.
Clésio Baúque (Mozambique) -- A heady midfielder who has a nose for the goal, and he's as smart off the field as he is on it. When he not scoring for the AFL-GP1's FC Jet 20, he's working on a master degree at Omaha University.
Lucozade Last Change Playoff Aggregates
Ontario vs. France -- France was far and away the best team in the Last Chance round and the showed it defeated Ontario 3-1, and 4-2 to move on.
Mozambique vs. Bolivia -- African football continues to find footing as Mozambique gave Bolivia all it wanted forging two draws, but Bolivia advanced on road goals thanks to a 3-3 wild one in Mozambique soil.
Kurdistan vs. Haiti -- The Kurdish dream run into a nightmare named Jozy Altidore who scored 3 goals and set up 4 others as Haiti's offense ran and attacked their way to the World Cup Final.
Iceland vs. Vietnam -- The best two matches of the Last Chance round, and perhaps two of the best qualifying matches in World Cup history. Both went into extra time, both decided with goals with a breathe of the whistle...both match going to Iceland who won 2-1 in Saigon and 3-2 in Reyjavik.
Peru vs. Angola -- Dala danced through Peru as the Angolans advanced in a surprising sweep.

So, what's been happening in New Hampshire? I don't think we've heard much about them.
The Catch-Up after the Cairns
Wednesday November 29, 2017 -- A marathon session with the SCLC, CSA President Newton Gingrich and SCLC Chief Executive Reverend General Martin Luther King III agreed to begin formal open negotiations. The first session will take place in Washington, D.C. in mid-March 2018. Both sides agreed to the invitation of IRNA President Joe Biden, who will be a joint mediator alongside the GPUR's Foreign Affairs Executive.
--- CSA Foreign Affairs Executive Stephen Orr Spurrier announced that he and GPUR Foreign Affairs Director Dr. Thomas Gouttierre will meet in January along with CCS Commissioner Spencer Tillman, who has acted as an "unofficial" envoy at the request of GPUR President Paul Wellstone and Spurrier. Spurrier said in a press conference, "At a time when we are discussing a new direction of peace for the world in the regards to the nuclear race, I and my Plainsian counterpart it is time to truly end one of the longest standing conflicts in the world. Our goal by the end of the 2018 is to negotiate a peace treaty to formally end the War of Plainsian Aggression, what y'all call the Mid North-American War, and to reopen diplomatic relations between the Confederate States and the Great Plains United Republic."
Dr. Gouttierre: "The Great Plains United Republic has always sought peace, and if Mr. Spurrier is serious about the endeavor, we shall respond with hope, faith and hard work to see the process through."
-- 110 nations signed a an extension of the Worldwide Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty, and a new compact on weapons in space.
-- Diplomats from the Manila and Mindanao governments met with each side saying that some progress was made.
Thursday November 30, 2017 -- The new Cairns Conventions Reductions Initiative was held up by a major Confederate counterproposal calling for a number of concessions, the largest being direct CSA inspection of GPUR and LSR nuclear armaments and facility.
-- GPUR negotiators said they would reserve the right to inspect Confederate facilities if advanced and passed. The CSA negotiators responded, "we will not allow any Injun those levels of rights". The Confederates threatened to walk out
-- Dr. Gouttierre and Executive Spurrier implored their respective sides to seek a compromise, and agreed to a evening session to iron out the details.
-- India's Elections Bureau announced that a general election will be held on March 24, 2018
-- A new bill aimed changing the name of the Industrial Republic of North America back to its original name "United States of America" will be debated in the House of Representative on the next week.
Friday December 1, 2017 -- Spurrier and Gouttierre hammer out a deal that would give the Confederate States of America tier I status and keep inspections between the countries neutrals with one observer from the Orlando Pact allowed to be in the proceedings. The sticking point is the compromise, the GPUR will move up from Tier II status to Tier I status, allowing from larger modernization and greater say over their compliance timetable.
The Confederates negotiators says they need 24 hours to assess their options.
-- Representative with the Point Barrow government of North Alaska met with Confederate negotiators concerning the release of CSA military personnel captured along the border area of the Godly Alaskan Free State (South) and the Alaska Free State (North)
-- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization threw out the Confederate complaint against the ANZC for "undue interference in our national culture". The complaint came amid a recent raid on a Confederate college campus were "hundreds" of data drives were found contained bootleg episode of the Australian sci-fi series "Earth Tribe".
-- New Hampshire National Police arrested 4 people at an apartment in Concord on suspicions of arms smuggling. It was the fourth such raid in the last two months in what has been an increasingly difficult situation in the border nation, which a wide open election set for next May, and the sitting President Judd Gregg stepping down.
WHY THE HELL DID WE GO THROUGH NEW HAMPSHIRE? IF WE ARE MOVING ARMS WE DO IT THROUGH QUEBEC OR DIRECTLY!
"The kids needs to learn that New Hampshire is not the jungle. What LePage did in Maine we can and will do here, and we shall forge and alliance to better deal with Quebec and Vermont. That will get Atlanta's attention."
"They shall not replace us, Leader. 20 words."
