Thank you good sir, I assumed the local mods would open this thread but it is good it now exists anyway. To the debate
"Muscovy", as its rulers have previously called it, is a sleeping giant, with age-old traditions and ways of doing things. Here, the feudal way of life has become so entrenched that the serfs are as tied to the land as cattle, and with almost as few rights. It is a vast, deeply conservative and religious country: Mother Russia and the Orthodox Church are the two pillars of national belief. The Tsar may be the father of his people, but by tradition and practice he is a stern parent. Ivan the Terrible was well named, and he has not been the only ruler with an iron will. Russia is the "Third Rome". The last bastion of Orthodox Christianity.

You can expect my next reply Friday night.
I'm rather busy myself, and on top of that the Internet on my dormitory doesn't like me and is currently not functioning.

Should smoking be made illegal?
Naaa, if the government really wanted to they could just hike the cigarette tax thru the roof and that would take a big chunk out of the problem. I believe an educated public should be free to choose its own vices. Bear in mind my mom's walking around with a hole in her throat the size of a half dollar...
