I hereby declare my own country. I'm gonna call it VLAD (Vol for Life Against Dumbness).
Sure, this is just "virtual space" (thanks, Freak, for hosting Vlad) and I can't grow enough vegetables here to be self-sustaining, but they apparently can't grow vegetables in other autonomous zones either, so that's clearly not a disqualifier.
Here in Vlad, we stand for independence, and freedom from tyranny. We stand for our 1st through 40th amendment rights (we're going a bit beyond those that actually exist today, so that this document can grow with Vlad). We don't really acknowledge those amendments, because they are in the constitution of that other country that we declared independence from and not us, but we still like the rights so we'll keep them.
When I say 'we,' it's really kind of like the Royal We. I'm the only person in this space. So we really have plenty of room to expand and grow (I expand an inch around the waist every couple of years).
Vlad is all about equality. No one is more equal than me. As the only person here, I'm just as equal as I can possibly be. It feels great.
Here in Vlad, no one insults us and hurts our feelings. No one disagrees with us. No one gets into our safe space (I'm trying to convince my wife that my virtual country extends into reality just enough to include my coffee cup, my favorite chair, and maybe a narrow path to and from the kitchen ... I'll let you know when I succeed ... it will probably become a Vladian national holiday).
As the founder and First Citizen of Vlad, I would like to describe my vision for the future. Volunteer Football on TV, beer in the frig, a bottle of Jack nearby for the ritualistic pre-game shot (and post-game shots, if we lose). Wait. This is visionary: we don't lose. Ever. National championships in perpetuity. 15-0 seasons as far as the eye can see. Maybe one loss every eighth year just to keep us from becoming complacent...but we are only allowed to lose to programs over whom we have a massive series advantage, like 98 wins out of the past 100 meetings (congrats, Kentucky, you qualify for consideration!).
In conclusion: Vlad. Viva la revolucion.
[meta-question of the day: which happens first, I make 10 people snort coffee out their noses, or a mod moves the thread to an alternate sub-forum backwater where no one ever sees it again? I'm betting on the latter, those mods are quick on the draw]
