I have assigned 198 countries a number. The countries I've chosen are the 193 members of the UN plus those recognised by at least 20 UN members. Each week I will pick a country using a random number generator and we will discuss that country.

lol yeah they fucked up their grammar too xD BTW has anyone here played dreadout? it's an Indonesian horror game, based on some crazy ass Indonesian folklore.

Kurwa! Indonesia can into space god damn it!

really???

never heard of dreadout, but I once watched an Indonesian horror movie that was not bad at all, actually the Indonesians are said to be the best filmakers in Asia in terms of horror and gore movies alongside the Thai.

Indonesia is majority-Islamic and holds the most Muslims out of any country in the world, not too many folk know this. Indonesia was the only country to ever leave the UN after it was in (but it came back one year later anyway), and has pretty backwards policies looking at some things. I think in Aceh, there is Islamic theologic law for everyone that must be followed, and to join the Indonesian army as a woman, you need to be a virgin (and they don't even check a legitimate way, just through hymen tests).

@Juq Repblic of China left UN as well :3

@Koala Yeah, South east Asians are good at making horror stuff

Repblic of China left UN as well :3

Not by the government's choice, and not really.

@Juq defines "not really"? Btw, I'm pretty sure we left before we was kicked.

There was no vote, as protocol is for kicking out a member. CFR was recognised as the "legitimate" government representor of China, while CR was illegitimate, so more replaced.
