The Tropical Refreshments of Free Las Pinas

Since nations that found in these regions are refounding ones, the regions are named after people who have been resurrected. With this in mind, I decided to think of names for potential sinkers (not that the site administration has hinted at some being added). Since Christianity, Norse mythology, and Egyptian mythology are already represented by the current sinkers, it’d only be right to rule other people in those out. This would leave Ancient Greek religion, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and real life, among those I’m somewhat familiar with. Except, I could only really name somebody specific for the Ancient Greece one and the real life one — I’m gonna try to avoid saying something ignorant about the other religions!

For the Ancient Greece one, I’d say a shining option would be Asclepius, who I believe was the son of Apollo, and could revive people himself. He was killed by Zeus for this, but then eventually revived as a minor deity. Another could be Minos, who was the king of what I believe was the first Greek civilization? I guess there are probably better options, but basically, this guy is one of the three judges you’d supposedly face in the Underworld or something.

For the real life one, maybe Mary Wollstonecraft? She was a writer and women’s rights advocate in the 1700s, so I think that warrants some extra points — it does, at least, for me. As for the resurrecting part, afaik, she threw herself off a bridge, and was presumed to be dead, but then was revived. This must’ve influenced the story “Frankenstein”, which was written by Wollstonecraft’s daughter, and features artificial life (?).

For Judaism, it would be Shunemmite woman's son, who was brought back to life by Elijah(or Elisha, depending on the spelling.) The way the story goes, when Elijah was traveling through the town of Shunaam, the woman showed him hospitality. Because of this, Elijah gave her a prophecy that said she would have a son. A few years later, Elijah is traveling once again through Shunaam. He sees the woman and asks her how her child is doing. the child has apparently gotten sick and died. Using his powers, Elijah brings him back to life. Now, there are more details to the story that I didn't include, but you get the idea. The developers probably didn't include the Shunaamite woman's son because we don't know his name. The text doesn't tell us.

Speaking of sinker regions, I just came from Balder back to my home XKI! Glad to be back guys! I was kinda busy and forgot to check my account for a while. But, here I am! I see a couple of familiar names like Free Las Pinas. :)

Nothing ever gets done in the WA because there’s always some diphead who didn’t like the outcome of the previous resolution. Then there are people who just always vote yes without reading the resolution, and still others who just vote however their regional delegate does.

Welcome to XKI Borbourg!
Also, for anyone who wants a cool flag, I strongly suggest Flag Makeria. He is a wizard in design, I will get my new flag in a couple of days and you will see how awesome it is!!

You could convert the SVG, or you could screenshot the flag.

Like I said earlier if you look up nation-states flag maker a site called Flag Makeria will come up. The guy who does the flags there is awesome he just did mine and I'm waiting to receive it.

I use Flag Maker 1.7. Apparently there is now an online version too. Either way it's 100% free and works well for flags of low-medium complexity. Flags can be exported to SVG, PNG or saved in a .flag file to edit later.
