h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thought having a go at this would be vaguely interesting... If anyone else is interesting in running their own nation there, maybe let me know and we could for a new 'region'.

I've often contemplated setting up my own anarchist utopia or benevolent dictatorship. I'm not sure I'd cope with the admin, though.

Going into partnership sounds like an ideal solution. You could do all the donkey-work in setting it up, and then when we have absolute power, I could have you assassinated.

Let's do it!

That would be cool. Not sure that that's quite how the site works though. It takes about a minute to set up your little nation and the grows and developes on how you respond to the issues of the day.

I get the feeling other stuff goes on there to but I'm kinda just not getting it.

You mean it's not possible to assassinate anyone?

What about torture, then? I picked up some useful techniques at the dentist's today.

Maybe if you read what the site has to say about itself.

Oh, right. That. Yeah....

Well it would help...

I've gone and read it. I understand now.

There's just one bit I didn't follow, which is, how do you decide which region to put your country in? Did you understand that bit?

I'm definitely keen to set up my own state. I'm already thinking about national mottoes and things.

I want my own benevolent dictatorship..... that could be fun....

I'm gonna start one now and see how it pans out.

I've figured out how to move my region now.

Are you happy in your region or would you care to help me name and create a region?

I'm happy to move, but bear in mind that I might get tempted away by shinier regions. Are newbies able to create new regions? Have you thought of a name? How's about 'Anglesey'?

Your country is so *friendly*, Kamanchi. Are you sure you want to ally it with a dictatorship such as mine?

I just thought it would be interesting to try and get a group of hootooer togther to form a region regardless of the style they chose to govern with.

Sounds good to me. Any thoughts on a name?

Many. Too many.

The Lands of Eternal Shadows and Light.
The Greater Isles of Mysts.
Terradonoeternalis.
The Lands of the Three Blooded Moons.

And more...
You own ideas?

I like the second one the best.

I've also got a special fondness for the Lakshadweep Islands (a real place), because of their name.

Otherwise, I guess a Douglas Adams-related name might be appropriate, since we're coming from h2g2. Not that I can think of anything brilliant just now.

Golgafrinch? Hootoo?

...Maybe stick with The Greater Isles of Mysts.... Never make decisions by committee, that's what I say.

Btw, have you had a telegram from Lunovis? I'm not sure my messages are getting through. I haven't even had an email to allow me onto the forums.

Aye, I hadn't replied because I run out of time before... Not been emotionally stable recently.

Okay, cheers. I just needed to know it was working.
