For countries on my want to visit list: Indonesia, The Philippines, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Egypt, Madagascar, Iceland, Palestine (coming up in October hopefully)

I thank the MC for his question, and I'm happy to answer.  I checked in with His Majesty just last week, actually, to see what our current status was.  After the last round of promotions, we began more comprehensively keeping track of cultural achievements, implementing a new system so that things wouldn't fall through the cracks.  At this time, no one currently enlisted has earned a new promotion.  Promotions began harder to get as you rise through the ranks, and there haven't been new enlistees.  However, it'll be good to keep building on this success as we move forward, launching a promotion for the service when we next do promotions.

I'm not sure I ever got around to announcing the new tracking system, but honestly it's just hard to keep track of all the stuff that's gotten done this term!  That's the same reason why we haven't done any recruitment -- we're already trying to recruit people for things, and we don't want a barrage drowning everyone out.  I'm happy to provide more details as might be desired.

Moinol, what a fun question to ask everyone!

I've lived in the United States, South Korea, and New Zealand.  I've visited India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Ireland, and Cambodia for months at a time, and traveled in Italy, France, the Vatican, Monaco, Tunisia, and probably some other places I'm forgetting.  I spent most of my twenties traveling the globe, so I got to see a lot.  I'd actually like to go back to a lot of those places, since I was dirt poor for a lot of that time and didn't get to do anything that cost real money.  Maybe now that the kids are getting a little older, I'll be able to.

I personally did not enjoy my time there, maybe because I stayed in Ostkreuz.

What I found kind of sad is I didn't fully get to see the Brandenburg Gate as it was under renovation, most likely because of climate activists.

So far: Norway (where I live), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Czech republic, Slovakia, Ireland, UK (all parts except Wales), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Gibraltar, Romania, USA (incl. Talossa), Mexico. A lot of this is work related, but not all. Of these my best memories are of Ireland, but not the touristy stuff. Just staying in the small towns, while going around the island. I've been around the whole island a couple of times, but I've only spent 2 hours in Dublin in that time, and I don't think I missed anything :)

As for where I'd want to go, I want to say Nepal. I'd like to do a hike to some of the villages on the Everest trail, but for medical reasons (and money), it's not something that's likely to happen.

Avoid Berlin.

Interesting! Out of curiosity, why would you recommend avoiding Berlin? @Barclamïu da Miéletz

Horrible city, isn't even beautiful (is also overrated). There's also lots of criminal activity. Visit Munich, Augsburg and Lindau instead.

I've been to Berlin once, it was fine.

May be as a Football fan?🤔⚽ @Breneir Tzaracomprada

Not at all, I find football to be rather boring but I have a friend from childhood who adores the game. I love his love of the game but I'd rather watch tennis or bowling.

As a lover of history, visiting the Parthenon in Athens and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul were highlights.

That's understandable! While I'm a football fan, I can certainly appreciate the appeal of tennis. But most of football fans visit Argentina and Brazil.

Quote from: King Txec on June 21, 2026, 12:50:06 PMI have lived in the US and Germany. I've visited Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Israel, and Jordan. I've been to 47 of the 50 states in the US, and lived in 3 different states (Oklahoma, Maryland, and California since 1986.)

My favorite places are London, Edinburgh, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and a whole host of German cities, but most especially Rottenburg ob der Tauber and Wildflecken. When I lived in Germany, the east was communist so I never visited that part of the country.

Your majesty @King Txec, you've traveled far more than most people ever will! It must be fascinating to have experienced so many different countries and cultures. Thanks for sharing your journey.
