Of course, he probably couldn't recognize Swahili if it bit him on the behind, and he doesn't know much of anything at all. As a matter of fact, although both my Nationstates countries (The Commonwealth of the Rokbeigalm, and the Rogue Nation of Elven_Canniballand) were deleted due to inactivity, his is now the #1 Country with the Stupidest Citizens in his region. Of course, the reason he saw Rokbeigalmki at all was because their Commonwealth posted a particularly sarcastic bilingual Rokbeigalmki/English message to the regional bullettin board about his country :-P Unfortunately when my countries got deleted i lost my archived copy of the Rokbeigalmki messages i had sent. ohwell. -Stephen (Steg) "ezoi'nyih-yed sha'nilhao!"
