A lot of people here claim that Aspergia could not exist because Aspergians have allegedly no capacity to organise things or are too individualistic.

That is wrong.

I would claim that we see more or less different Aspergian traits in different civilisations. Asian and Western European cultures have moderate Aspergian traits (about 1%), while African and moslem cultures have very little Aspergian traits.

Image

But one culture which almost could be called for "Pseudo-aspergian" is Russia.

Russian national traits include:

x Brutal honesty
x Political incorrectness
x A bit of social alienation
x Extreme specialisation on natural sciences

I would say if we took five million Aspergians and placed them in one geographic area, culture of Aspergia would develop into something which most will remind of Russia.

Therefore, I also think that Aspergia will have political system with strong degree of centralisation and micro-management, but I think most Aspergians will be positive towards that as long as we could pursue our interests.

So go move to Russia. Have fun freezing to death in Siberia or being arbitrarily arrested by Putin's thugs.

Considering how long Russia was communist I wouldn't state that "brutal honest", and political incorrectness are national traits. social alienation could apply to dozens of cultures. And I'm not sure how Russia has such an extreme specialization in natural sciences.

Personally I would suggest that the things you have listed are more to do with the fact that Russians drink an awful lot. In fact the male life expectancy there is below 60 due to the rampant alcoholism...

Well, it's not every day you hear someone proclaim they love Belarus.

But sure, move to Russia. That's a lot grassland for you to wander freely in, provided you don't freeze to death, of course.

Be sure to visit Tannu Tuva! :lol:

You can freeze to death in Canada or the US (many will this winter) and you can get arrested for thought crimes a lot quicker in both too.

Um... yeah, there are parts of the US that get pretty cold (not as bad as Russia) but the second part of your post is just stupid.

Ironically, it would be pretty hard to die from freezing in Scandinavia. :wink:

Back your belief by logic please.

I've shot this kid down in a different topic, postp2115156.html#2115156 .

Something tells me he's a troll.

They might be correlated - but its difficult to say which has been caused by what.

Not true. No one can read thoughts.

Also free speech (other than blatant threats or incitement to riot or panic) is protected by law (in the U.S.).

I think he meant suspected crimes. Good reply though. lol

And Zyborg, if you move to Russia, go out to Siberia, and in the middle of the wasteland there, with no running water or electricity or any modern comforts, and start your little fantasy Aspergia. From scratch. The way all other nations begin, migration, adaptation, reproduction, evolution. Have fun! :)

He's been here several months and since then has non-stop raved on about how NT's are planning a Holocaust on ''Aspergians'' who must unite and establish their own nation in the Sahara desert which will grow into the most advanced state on the planet in seven years, and now he's spamming his stupid ''Aspergia is the future'' picture everywhere he can.

Troll, insane or idiot.
