I am writing this article to dispel a certain myth that I have seen more and more frequently, all over the eWorld, but especially here in eTaiwan. That myth, is that you need to be from that country in real life in order to play there. This is certainly not true. I am from the United State of America in real life, but have spent over a year (my entire eLife up to this point) living and working in eGermany.
In Germany I was both a successful political and military figure, despite the fact that I am not German IRL (although I do have German heritage, but that doesn't matter). It does not matter what country I, or anyone else, is from in real life. What matters is the country they are in in game. Whether I am from RL China or RL Taiwan or RL US or any other RL country makes no difference. I am in eTaiwan, that's what counts. I plan to stay here, and have a successful eCareer here.
In short, just because someone is from another country IRL, does not mean they have any less right to be in a different country in game. To those of you who think so, you are very, very wrong.

If a significant portion of the population cannot understand the language you're speaking, you can't be successful in politics.
Try getting into the American congress by speaking only in Chinese.
James, normally this is true, especially in real life, but in this game it's not. That's one of the good things about it. You can go anywhere around the globe, and still be able to do anything you want. I managed to go a year in Germany without knowing hardly any German. And multiple friends of mine have lived in places such as Hungary and Serbia for months on end without knowing any Serbian or Hungarian.
Alex!!!
Sure you have to speak a language which most of the people of the country your´e living in understand. But I think nearly everyone can understand english, so Alex shouldn´t have a problem with it. 😉
welcome and good luck, Alex.
"But I think nearly everyone can understand english"
not neccessary the case in some countries.
Good luck Alex, v+s
Signed with all of my might. 100% agreed.
It isn't a "PTO" unless someone has ill intentions for the country. Which, in the case of the Pro-Kazawan, we only want to help influence the "eCulture" of the country and make it become something unique and interesting.

Hail Zammuel!
Hail Alex Drex!
Hail Kazawan!
Alex, you and your fellow Zammuelists are welcome to reside in the Republic of China.
But just because you live here doesn't mean you have the right to rename the country, change its flag, or devalue the people who /do/ live here.
Please apply the same standards to yourself and be sure your KLF members show some respect, manners, and basic decency.
>But just because you live here doesn't mean you have the right to rename the country, change its flag, or devalue the people who /do/ live here.
Where have you been devalued?
People can call something whatever they wish, and use their own flags. The flag for Kazawan is a mixture of the Taiwan flag, and the flag of Kazakhstan, as is the name.
Being offended over such a trivial matter is simply childish.

The same could be said of multiple chinese players.

I was the e President of Singapore, 4 term congressman, a mayor in the eUS,a field marshal, battle hero, and have traveled the e-world looking for adventures. I came to Kazwan dragging a giant sack of gold looking for a new place to start. I think I would be the kind of person that could be of great benefit to this e country.
Also on a related note it is Snayke.

I agree. But we must try to speak the language. Even the worst translator can get the message across.
LONG
LIVE
KAZAWAN
Agreed.
We are not here to steal or destroy the country, we are here to help build and defend this nation
LONG LIVE KAZAWAN!
I'm also from the USA
but I can read and write Chinese at a fifth grade level.
LONG LIVE KAZAWAN!
Disputing the name is rather silly. We all want Kazawan/RoC/Taiwan/whatever else to become the best country ever. Let's make it happen!
