How to start a country

OK so Peoples Democratic Republic of CUK? PDRCUK? Not very punchy.

No. People's Democratic Republics are not very democratic and most of the people starve to death. It will therefore be the 'Benevolent Dictatorship of CUK'.

Definitely a democracy - don't care about the currency (as long as I have lots of it) don't care about the monarchy but can we please have nice warm sunny weather, some great beaches, palm trees and zero tax?

Done. We are a small island somewhere equatorial. Chrystal blue sea and white beaches.

Don't step there Lisa!! There's 4 CUKNTS.

[suityou01]

OK bit to do. Do we need a penal system or can we all just get along?

[eek]

FORD:
No really? Really?

CROWD MEMBERS:
Yes, very good move…

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT:
But, we have also run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability. Which means that I gather the current going rate has something like three major deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut. So, um, in order to obviate this problem and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on an extensive defoliation campaign, and um, burn down all the forests. I think that’s a sensible move don’t you?

from HHGTTG episode 6. Of course with shells you have a bigger problem in that you can't burn forests down to curb inflation

Can I be the Oligarch who steals all the oil?

And who's going to be William Hague?

the CUKNT

I assume the K is silent?

Anyway, I do not care what the government is or what the rules are - I volunteer for whatever position exists where I can legally beat people up.

Easy; dry the surplus leaves and use them to set fire to the management consultant. You know it's better that way.
