FYI:

Not all questions have an answer for every nation. If people submit more
questions and more answers to roger, then we'll have a better representation.
Scanfed, forex, probably isn't well represented, nor is NI or FCT.

So - send in some more questions or responses to existing ones and
we'll broaden the results pool.:)

(By we, I mean "Roger");)

Did up, while I was on range gate guard, some lightbulb jokes for each of the
nations.

NRE: "One, to hold the lightbulb while the universe revolves around him."

NSL: a "Let's check the manual." b "Let's invade Poland and take theirs."

FCT:
"Dangit, Emma-Sue!  You shot out all the lightbulbs
last night when you was drunk. Again. Change 'em!"

Should I do the whole list?

That's the Tex part. The Cal part might be "That, like, lightbulb, you know,
uses energy, man. And, like, wouldn't it be, you know, better, if we could,
like, recycle the, you know, old one?"

Actually, the Cal part would be:

"The light bulb doesn't need changed, Dude. It's just another brown
out..."

(California's electricity system became deregulated. Unfortunately, it didn't
have the desired effect and there was a problem last year, and I think this
year, supplying enough electricity to the customers. As a result the state had
a series of "rolling brownouts" where areas of the electrical grid were
"blacked out" deliberately.

Or "The lightbulb has the right not to change unless it wants to. Forcing the
lightbulb to change would violate its civil rights and expose us to
litigation."
