The People's Republic of Rabarberland is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass -- is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Rabarberland's national animal is the rabarber animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rabarber coin.

EDIT: I created a new region for Thehelper members... The Rabarber Islands. The password is "thehelper". Join my dictature under the south pole.

The Republic of Noobish Pineapple is a very large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 93 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A large private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining industries.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, polygamy is legal, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Noobish Pineapple's national animal is the speckled pineapple, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pinedolples.

Noobish Pineapple is ranked 600th in the region and 18,323rd in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.

Yay 600th in the region !!

The Armed Republic of Azlons Narnia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 73 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Azlons Narnia's national animal is the saber tooth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

Azlons Narnia is ranked 14,255th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.

The Bible of Noneoftheabove is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.425 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

A recent law has banned homes from having any more than one wheel, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and lending firms are subject to strict government regulations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noneoftheabove's national animal is the Lumberjack and its currency is the gold coin.

Noneoftheabove is ranked 21,813th in the world for Largest Defense Forces (per capita).

The Republic of XWalesx is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 141 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27%. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Citizens must pay to enjoy XWalesx's pristine beaches, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XWalesx's national animal is the mythical dragon and its currency is the pound sterling.

XWalesx is ranked 39th in the region and 18,997th in the world for Most Politically Free Nations.

Yea my air force kicks ass.

The Armed Republic of Azlons Narnia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning saber tooth population. Its hard-nosed population of 141 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 43%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Soda Sales.

Citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, major internet servers have acquired citizenship and are voting in national elections, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Azlons Narnia's national animal is the saber tooth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the credit.

Azlons Narnia is ranked 1st in the region and 30,427th in the world for Highest Police Ratios.


i hope everything else starts getting better. but i fixed my terrain! next where going to go capitalist! and reach utopia!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
