When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.
When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.
Thus it is said:
The path into the light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.
The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things.
Salutations all!

i just logged in after being away for 36 hours or so.
i had three telegrams: 1st asking me to vote against, 2nd and 3rd asking me to vote for a SC commendation.
i basically told them to bugger off: i vote against all of them.
so i go vote, and am pleased to see i was the 18th in this region to vote against, and none for.

Monsieur Calamaran IX here. Our country recently underwent a flag change and was hoping for some feedback on it. Thanks!

The Tao gives birth to One.
One gives birth to Two.
Two gives birth to Three.
Three gives birth to all things.
All things have their backs to the female
and stand facing the male.
When male and female combine,
all things achieve harmony.
Ordinary men hate solitude.
But the Master makes use of it,
embracing his aloneness, realizing
he is one with the whole universe.
I like your new flag! It's cool.
Palmstars nuclear scientists will use this opportunity to power a couple of nuclear reactors with pizza.
This flag has very unusual shapes, and complex gradients with peculiar lighting - quite an original look.
Also congrats on 777 million population, that's a jackpot!
Post self-deleted by Gamblania.
Believe me, if I had the option to freeze my population, I absolutely would right now. Complete luck I landed on this number. And thank you for feed back on flag. The only problem is when it's tiny, like in the region chat, you can't see all of the different colors. Also look into this pizza stuff. Opostitehas been putting lots of questionable things on it...
"Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, visions of giant pink White Tigers are a common side effect after Gamblers eat their meals, and much of Gamblania's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gamblania's national animal is the White Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation."
I wouldn't have it any other way. This is a very good summary of what Gamblania stands for, and what it means to our populace.
