I have never voted in or donated to a political election, and I never plan to-- democracy is ridiculous, and I refuse to take part in it. But for some reason, American political parties keep sending me fundraising emails.

Is this how you get your votes? By harassing people into giving them?

...really? I thought it was a law that everyone must vote?

Or - Damn, which country are you in, again? You're still in that Earth World that hasn't unified yet, right?

[embersandashes]

Not here it isn't.

It's America-- the United States.

I thought most lived in...Japan, was it?

[embersandashes]

A lot of the people here do, but I don't.

[masked_god]

To be honest, all the countriest seem the same to me.

[embersandashes]

I don't blame you. Did you know there are almost two hundred of them?

[masked_god]

Presumably it all runs off of a central government, though.

[embersandashes]

Not at all. If you count countries that are only semi-independent, there are even more of them.

I can show you an internet link.

[masked_god]

That is ludicrous. How do they get anything done?

[embersandashes]

They don't try to work together. They all govern separately.
