For appetisers, however, here's a pic from the infamous [cue dramatic music] Basement!

On the left is the computer screen (with Poly open, of course ), next to that is my telly, then there's my faithful PSX standing on it's side between the tv set and the computer. Between the computer and the wall is my brand new CD rack.

Wait till it's morning and I open the curtains. I won't turn to dust, but I'll be able to take pictures of my high end stereo system. Some more pics of The Basement as well, you still haven't seen my wall-long desk, my book shelves or my criminally wide bed.

I have four 70W speakers around me, those are hooked to an amplifier below the desk. Below the amplifier is my old CD stereo player which I've stopped using for now since mp3s played from the computer through a Winamp plugin sound so much better. My printer is not working but it's on the desk too, I used to have a joystick but now it's in the drawer. Then there's my old broken laptop and it's peripherals, those in the drawer, then there're of course the computer, the TV and the PS. The mess of wires below and infront of the desk are, as you can imagine, huge.

Like it

I've got a pretty decent sound system. A fantastic amp, with more power than I'll ever need (I had a party, the volume didn't get above 1/3, and it was very loud!) connected to my CD player, computer and DVD player. I managed to get my hands on some handmade walnut speakers too, they sound so good
Sorry, I'll shut up now, bit of an audio nut

It's fantastic (or at least I think so) but I had to work my whole summer to afford it. Worth it though

Suffering from ads?

I'm just leeching off from my dad. He bought these speakers (they're Finnish, the casings are wood and they're handmade ) and the amp nearly 20 years ago for the price of a small car. He said to me that I've got the best audio system in the house, albeit our living room has a home theatrish sort of arrangement.

Anyways, off to bed now...

The Dictatorship of Lemmington
"Shrivel and Die!"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Rare Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: the Pacific
The Dictatorship of Lemmington is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it 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 53%, and even 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. Lemmington's national animal is the ghoul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the skeleton bone.

The Dominion of Tea Kaygia is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape . Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14% . A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate . Tea Kaygia's national animal is the fire-breathing guhmtelfitrickber and its currency is the kaygian dollar.

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise

Location: the Pacific
The Commonwealth of Jedinica Vrijstaat is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports industries.

Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jedinica Vrijstaat's national animal is the eagle and its currency is the concordian.

I must have misinterpretated some question about cameras and ID cards. I have the feeling I'll need a whole lot of reforms and issues before I can become socialist and have an income tax of at least 50% or so.

Btw, GeneralTacticus, aren't you the Republic of Centralis? How the hell did you end up as a left-wing utopia?!?
