I think I already explain it multiple times even to you and my above posts (not reply to you) should give you some idea. I kinda know already answer but let me still ask it: In your country its traditional to share meal with your neighbour Someone in other country decided thats against hygiene standards and thus forbidden they have 50M votes, your country have 5M votes are you ok that people from country you don't live in decide how you should interact with your neighbour? But in the USE, it would be one country. That is how democracy worksBesides, the Germans are not some evil elite seeking control, there is political diversity here add well.people on Germany will also vote against the meat law No its not Germans ofcourse, but lets be realistic - everyone seeks to gain something. Why do you think that germany have so many businesses in east europe? Because its cheaper to create wealth there and spend it in germany. Do you think its in German interest to have east Europe same wealth as Germany? Don't be foolish But that is exactly what a unified Europe would solve, they HAD to care because it's one country

I'm sorry but... Where's your answer? EDIT nevermind my bad

no, you have Germany with 50M of votes, you have France with 50M of votes. How e.g. 5M of Slovaks affect any vote in that amount is beyond me. That is beauty of Europe. If you don't like to live in Germany because of laws there you can just swap to other country which have laws more suited to you. If all nations have same laws you are screwed. Let's say, for some reason, the entire of Germany votes for a single party. Well, the German party will maybe be the largest, yes, but it won't be large enough to have 70% of seats (which is considered to be gee absolute majority). That means they have to negotiate their goals with for example the Slovaks, really with smaller parties in general. And these smaller parties can push through a lot since the bigger ones are dependent on them to get their goals through parliament.

Yes but what you want is not going to happen, you cannot have the single market with all its benefits but reject certain laws or control from Brussels This is the harsh lesson the UK is learning from BREXIT...the EU has its good and bad points but the good far outweighs the bad Of course you can, its just Brussels don't want it. its different story. Free movement of people and goods doesn't require to police agriculture for example. Its not that simple, the EU works because of the relatively strict enforcement of rules and expectations from Brussels You cant pick and choose what suits you even if I can empathize with some of your criticism Thats why other unions who have tried to copy the EU have failed miserably, like the Arab League and the African Union...they dont enforce the rules or implement good governance you are completely misguided, I am talking about trade and free movement of people and you are still talking about internal affairs of independent nations need to be regulated by Brussel. Only regulations for customs are relevant to free trade, nothing else. You ar just another imperialist who thinks that bigger and 'better' states should impose their views on others (funny you kinda support 'preying on the weak') Am I misguided? Maybe I am not explaining my point properly, the EU has several core foundations and rules that any member state has to follow These include free movement of people within the EU, you cant say you dont want this if you want to belong to the EU Imperialist\Colonialist\ White Capitalist ...yes I have been called all these names. None matter because its not relevant to the rules of the EU How boring... I've been a hopeless idealist, a communist according to more... Conservative Germans (usually aged above 70) and an imperialist by several non Germans... Isn't that an impressive track record?

You ar just another imperialist who thinks that bigger and 'better' states should impose their views on others (funny you kinda support 'preying on the weak') But... If we could create a single Europe with a pr parliament (I explained earlier) them small voices would drastically gain power, especially in comparison to now... It is highly unlikely that the party with the most votes has the majority of seats, so it needs to negotiate with small parties, so those small parties can push their goals quite strongly.

I am a huge supporter of Germany and Merkel and how Germany after WW2 has been able to recreate its identity and become very significant again. And it did this not through military superiority but hard work and economic transformation. I am also a supporter of the EU so this poll is interesting I dont think you could archive a political reality like the US because the member states in the EU already complain about " lack of sovereignty " so a US model would be even less autonomous than the EU currently has ? I am not a great believer in the American voting system ("winner takes it all"). I think what would work best is a system like in Germany right now: Everyone votes and every party gets the number of seats in parliament that they have of votes. So for example a party with 40% o all votes gets 40% of all seats. That way everyone is represented exactly how the people wanted it, and it also gives the minorities quite some power since the major parties need to corporate with them in order to get a winning vote. I also think parliament should elect the president, so people like trump can be avoided For a United Europe it would also be far easier to spread money equally across the former countries, and also many of the economic crisis caused by the euro would simply not happen. The right tendencies right now originate in economical unhappiness blamed on politics, so that can be helped much easier with one country. As I said, the USE would become a major power, especially economically

Definitely idealist.... I want a Europe under European leadership with a pr parliamentit still sounds more like imperialist Sorry I don't want to be rude (I know its sensitive spot for Germans) but there is some historical precedence on what happen when Germany want united Europe Ha, not rude... Don't worry... Yeah we did indeed try to conquer Europe several times, but it always ended in disaster It is obviously a problem though how to unite Europe without makingcertain countries more powerful, but I'm sure we can work out Dont get offended but there is some unreasonable "anti-German " sentiment from some members on this forum, its not malicious but some members think Germany has made several bad decisions lately. LIke Merkel initially allowing all the refugees into the EU...anyway this may lead to some negative views to your initial question But I like your perspective Yeah, I'm living in London atm, and I can definitely agree on that . But hey, I'm getting used to t. And I still think taking in refugees is the only right thing to do, at least for a rich country like Germany I do however understand a certain... Historical fear of German imperialism (we really messed up a lot of things). I think it's safe to say we moved on... By now, I think we created one of the worlds nicest countries. And we could do that due to our wonderful economy, is just imagine what an United European economy could archive for the people

Yes, the differences are quite big. It would need to be the most international nation yet. But it is imo the best way to assure both peace and prosperity for all Europeans...

Definitely idealist.... I want a Europe under European leadership with a pr parliament (so every party gets the number of seats like votes... So if a party gets 30% of total votes, it gets 30% of seats in parliament).

So, personally I voted for the second option. I must admit, the idea of having a EU nation is an idea I really like. I believe a single nation could bring both economical and political stability, as well as a big gain in international power. However, it is important that countries join out of free will, not because otherwise they'd be excluded from any kind of EU. So I went for the second option. But I'm a bit of an idealist

So this is an idea that I find extremely interesting, and I really want to see what you guys think. Please do give reasons in the comment section. Thanks for any shared opinions

Also Dream Wayfarer... Since we have a lot of Europeans around here, it seemed to make sense to be more specific on Europe and it still does.. As it stands now, Europe holds the vast majority of active members. But hey, maybe it'll change over night And finally, it's also a matter of personal interests...

Oh, btw the central Africa vote actually still comes the time when it said "Mars"... Sadly I'm limited to 15 options

Tell me, have you ever lived in South America? And what about Central America, Mexico and Canada, which happen to be packed togheter?I have indeed visited your home country in 2014, in fact I've been to every continent but Australia (and Antarctica). And while it was quite a lovley experience, I must say that you guys are in desperate need of better politicians (it's at least what the people I'm still in contact with tell me... From what I hear that seems to be a pretty valid point). But then again, I only was these couple of weeks...However, I meant from putley numbers... Europe has quite a lot of countries. Tell me, have you ever been to Europe? It's crazy... So many small countries I'm happy to edit the poll though, do make suggestions

Nope then he votes Russia, for exactly that reason. Central America is included yes. USA is only separate because it has one of the strongest gaming cultures, otherwise it's pretty useless to makes sperations in the two americas And yet it is useful to make separations for Europe? How is that supposed to make sense? Because there is a vast number of of very different countries in Europe

But I must say, I am quite surprised how many people seem to come from Europe... On the other hand, it explains why there are often so "many" people online at once

I wouldn't call it "revenge", as this is a term often applied when someone looses a beloved. He wasn't in a relationship with nature he was fascinated by it. It's more of a type of hate, but I wouldn't say revenge. It's a man with a broken dream, not a broken life. But that's just my opinion, you go with whatever you like

Nope then he votes Russia, for exactly that reason. Central America is included yes. USA is only separate because it has one of the strongest gaming cultures, otherwise it's pretty useless to makes sperations in the two americas Hope I could answer all questions

France is middle, so is UK Scandinavia is the name of the region, there is no region called "Scandinavian Europe" Culturally speaking, I'd say India

But other than all of the other spellcasters who use actual sources of energy to cast spells, the priests do not get their power from a source (souls for chanters and ciphers, magical energy for wizards, nature's energy for Druids) but they seem to actually create it (which of course, from a physical standpoint, doesn't make sense). Also that ability seems to be nothing special but rather possessed by everyone since there is no limitation who can become a priest.

What about avatar-fan art? You may find something...

Which makes me wonder... Where does the priest draw his immense powers from?

I also think the same applies for chanters... Somebody said on a thread before that chanters use Acient sole magic in their chants and invocations (according to the description), and thus make just as much sense to use as a main as ciphers. I do agree with that user. And to be honest, I prefer chanter over cipher... I feel like ciphers lack a certain touch of elegance
