The Unrepublic of Danistan

[Daniel Leuck]

In light of my frustration with our legislature, I've decided to take over Hawaii using an army of transgenic lemur cyborgs. The first person to sign up as a general gets Molokai. A few things that will be changing:

1. Congress will be replaced by a meritocratic assembly of the island's best programmers and transgenic lemur cyborgs. The current congress will be bronze coated in amusing positions and placed in Bishop Museum.
2. The meaning of TLC will be changed from "Tender Loving Care" to "Transgenic Lemur Cyborg"
3. The meaning of "sexy" and "geeky" will be reversed.
4. There will be a constitutional amendment making UTF8 our state's official encoding.
5. Lanai will be set aside as a sanctuary for ring-tailed lemurs, sifaka, loris, wombats and other animals that amuse us.
6. There will be no GE tax on computers, lab equipment, energy drinks and frozen yoghurt.
7. Our official language will be changed to an ultra-geeky form of Japonic pidgin Esperanto.
8. To address the high cost of living, we will send six brave soldiers to annex Canada. This land will be known henceforth as Eastern Hawaii.

Thoughts?

Yes, yes. I like these ideas, especially 1 and 8. The idea of bronze coating the politicians in funny poses is particularly good.

All streets have to have street signs, can't change names, and buildings have to have xml compliant meta data tags visible from the street.

Cameron, Matthew & Kostya - You will each receive an intimidating hat, a small island of your choosing, and a battalion of TLCs.

Mika, I find your lack of support deeply disturbing.

would like a sample of #7, anyone?

Japonic pidgin Esperanto: Chotto da matte, lasu min pensi... Ho brah, mi havas da' kine por vi: Mi akamai, desu ne?

If you understand this, you are a Japanophile language geek living in Hawaii sans girlfriend.

Letʻs get you into office. Iʻm volunteering to be your campaign chair =D

[Gus Higuera]

The TLC's must be equipped with lasers on their heads which when not protecting the The Unrepublic of Danistan they use to hold laser tag tournaments on the weekends. =)

I once made a satirized world map with all of the -stan countries in central asia merged into one giant country, stuck a black hole in the middle of it and dubbed it Kazblackhstan.. It had a bunch of other countries satirized as well..

Not many people thought it was funny :/

Oh well. Boo..

P.S. I propose an amendment to Article 6; including energy drinks and frozen yoghurt in the GET exemption.

[Daniel Leuck]

Derek & Zehra - you are in. Gus, done. Brian - The Energy & Yoghurt amendment to Article 6 is now law.
