The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is the sole living representative or monotypic taxon of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species appear in the fossil record.
Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes. It is one of the few mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, it senses prey through electrolocation. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals, as the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom, capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, and the first scientists to examine a preserved platypus body (in 1799) judged it a fake, made of several animals sewn together.
Nature is a comrade, and she remains undefeated all-time. Animals rock.

Democracy 4 is the most diseased game and I'm 95% sure my husband got it for me as a prank.
Why do taxes directly decrease GDP? Why does increasing the budget of every state institution increase corrupt EXCEPT THE POLICE? ( which lowers it)? Why is the US 90% liberal and 10% conservative? Why is Lenin considered conservative? Why does funding technology colleges remove all traces of religion from society?
I will find the developer of this nonsense and I will punch him in his smarmy liberal face.
this can be fixed with a mod im sure

I managed to create a Socialist Utopia in :ukkk: in Democracy 3. Couldn't manage it in :amerikkka:, kept getting assassinated.
there's a game called Ostalgie: The Berlin Wall that is similar to the Democracy games, a bit more stripped down, but you play as some of the Eastern Bloc countries starting in 1989. Still has some lib elements, but generally pretty good. only a few bucks too.
