Emigration is the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another; moving abroad. - Google

After some encouraging, I have decided to make this story official pre-history Pinkverse canon - many millennia before the happenings of Pink.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Despite the kingdom's lengthy period of peace and prosperity, it would not last.

It never does.

Another nearby empire, the Strixix, was suffering hugely from overpopulation and resource shortages. And like all tyrant led empires, simply decided to help themselves to the nearby systems, despite them being already claimed and populated by our people.

We fought at first, but never stood any real chance of holding back the tide.

After the fifth planet was lost, we sued for peace, choosing to become unwilling vassals instead of being brave and dead.

We would get revenge and eventually reclaim what was rightfully ours, but we didn't know that at the time.

No one did.

Even less than no one would have guessed it would be because of our humans.

When the enemy first set foot on our worlds the humans had been widespread in our society for almost two hundred years or so, and could be found in almost every settlement and population centre we had.

And when war came to our doorstep our loyal companions fled along side us. Inevitably, some were captured along with our citizens.

Being resource poor, the Strixix had consumed nearly all their native biological lifeforms and as a result, captured humans quickly came to be seen as a status symbol of sorts.

To the enemy, humans were exotic and monstrously expensive to keep properly fed. As such only the extremely wealthy or larger organisations could afford to keep a small herd of them.

So, in small numbers at first, the pet trade started sending humans into the heart of the invaders empire.

After a few decades, the Strixix had grown wealthy as a society off of their freshly acquired territories.

Consequently, almost all households had at least one human pet, most flaunted their social statuses with small herds.

Our planets had seen a marked decrease in humans, given that they were so vulnerable to being captured from the wild, both by poorly regulated pet industry professionals and outri

For two huge reasons:

1. There are many dump trucks, trailers, and other construction vehicles going up the canyon in the morning. I have nothing against them, they are just doing their job and obviously can't go too fast with such a large load, but being a person who works up the canyon, it's mildly infuriating when I'm stuck going 30mph in a 40mph zone the entire length of the canyon with no options to pass.
2. This is the most important one, the juggle around bicyclists. Again I have no issue with bicyclists, it is a great canyon that should be utilized and thankfully there are at least bike lanes for them. My issue is because there are no passing lanes, when I need to go around bicyclists to give them ample space (especially when they are riding the white line), I have to risk going slightly into the oposite lane without knowing whether or not another car is coming. It's terrifying to say the least and I feel like it's just an accident waiting to happen.

I know a passing lane up the entirety of the canyon is unlikely and improbable as there are many spots that don't allow the space for one, but having one here and there up the canyon would just make the canyon feel more safe.

Edit: Yes I can deal with going slower. Many people have suggested just being more patient and leaving earlier so I can also just enjoy the canyon, which I already do. Its just a minor annoyance when I have no option but to go slower. Maybe that's just something I need to work on, but I feel like I am still allowed to be a little annoyed.

But I am putting an emphasis on how unsafe it feels to drive around cyclists, as I'm sure they feel unsafe sometimes as well. I'm not worried about speed in this scenario just safety. As one commenter said, sometimes they have to ride on the white line to avoid being too close to the rock wall or to avoid things in the road. So maybe a buffer bike lane would make more sense as one person suggested! I think that if the speed limit was reduced it could be beneficial in many ways but it wouldn't help this.

Thoughts?

Much has been written about the emigration of Puerto Ricans to the American continent during the 20th century, but did you know that between 1900 and 1901 about 5,000 Puerto Ricans emigrated to the Hawaiian islands?

Hi I wanted to ask for methods to increase the international level of emigration. I know that crashing the economy is a good way, but I don't know how to crash the mid-late game world economy. Also long wars with lots of occupation. But aside from these two I don't know of other ways. All threads about crashing the economy are basically either early game or saying it is easy, let china industrialize lol and similar so pretty useless. I am playing a modified version of DoD

It begins as reports by the various ship crews of unidentified small boats and parties of people traversing the ice floes near the Nome area and in various parts of the Aleutian Islands. But eventual investigation by the Coast Guard and Alaskan state authorities reveals that the strangers are runaways from Siberia, upset by the current political situation in Russia.

While the media paints this as similar to the migrant situation at the Mexican border, in truth there are several distinct differences:

-There’s a wider variety of demographics that make up the ‘refugees’; from disgruntled blue collar workers to political enemies, and a number of tribesmen from the various native groups of Siberia and points beyond. The shared idea between them seems to be that with Putin’s greater confidence in his authoritative power given the Ukraine situation and Navalny’s condition, his government will come for them next.

-They’re considerably more methodical in their approach to sneaking across the border, in part due to the better education of many of the runaways compared to those from Latin America. Most often, they try crossing during the long northern winters, using the perpetual night as cover, and use smaller boats if any to avoid detection.

-Rumors have spread of a number of ‘sympathizer’ groups in the regions where these people are headed; a sort of ‘new underground railroad’ dedicated to getting them past the authorities and into a means of legal citizenship.

Putin and the Russian oligarchs are obviously outraged at these ‘illegal emigrations’, and demand that all those that have fled be returned to Russia immediately, under threat of further aggression against NATO.

What can the western powers do in this situation? Or rather, what would they likely do and/or what SHOULD they do?

Basically the title. I am just wondering, if after the war, there is now, currently a massive wave of emigration out of the country. I began to fear this after my father notified me a friend of his is now leaving. What breaks my heart even more is that she was a disaporan who returned, and I hope this will not be trend among them, or encourage others from leaving. But if this wave is true, how bad is it? And will there be at least 2 million of us left in the homeland after it is said and done?

I saw a lot of posts about emigrating or not, but I had a few seniors who u-turned and went back to Singapore after a few years overseas. Some even got their permanent residency and decide to abandon it soon after.

Minus those who came back for personal reasons, why come back to a country that is: expensive, humid, fast-paced, low wage, high stress and too many cheap foreign labour? Working at a fast food restaurant in Australia pays more than some jobs in Singapore that require uni degree. Why not just stay there? If you lost your job there, at least the menial jobs pay more than the pittance you get working as a janitor in SG.

I don't see who in the right mind would stay if they are given the opportunity to leave. The people who migrate to Singapore aren't coming from US/UK/Australia, so isn't moving to US/UK/Australia a plus for Singaporeans? You get better pay, a house that is bigger than 900 sq ft for the same purchasing power, all the space in the world to explore and all the freedoms (e.g. LGBTQ+).

I see a lot of Singaporeans in the emigration thread who moved and they seem to be happy with life in other countries. So why are patriots making it sound like other countries is dangerous or unsafe? If it is, then people wouldn't want to migrate there, like Syria or Yemen.

My questions to ex-emigrants are:

• Why move back to Singapore (other than personal/relationships)?
• Do you regret the move back? Is the honeymoon period over?
• Is your move back to Singapore permanent?

My questions to emigrants/aspiring emigrants are:

• Do you plan to renounce Singapore citizenship?
  • If so, how fast? As soon as you can?
  • If not, why keep citizenship of a country that you don't love? Insecure? Unsure?
• Do you factor in the culture, rather than the current situation?
  • I ask this because some people want "democracy" and "freedom" but forget that it's a two-way street.
  • E.g. if you migrated to US under Obama and got US residency, would you freak out about Trump or was it "expected"?
• Do you make an effort to NOT hang out with overseas Singaporeans?
  • I notice that my overseas friends tend to talk with fellow Singaporeans. But if you are escaping "the system", why not just ignore Singaporeans?
• Do you make an effort to integrate to their culture (for those who migrated to English places)?
  • Do you learn the "accent", way of life, way of speaking?
  • Do you not let your Singaporean habits overtake you? For example, you don't spoil market

I sincerely hope all Hong Kongers will be welcomed warmly. As a country who voted for Brexit, supposedly with lofty aspirations for closer relations with the wider world, it's nice to see a tangibly good policy. It is at least a token that, despite usually prioritising sucking up to China, the government means to take some responsibility for agreeing to put Hong Kong where it is today, for better and worse.

The British public more widely though can also be fairly xenophobic, another factor that certainly entered into Brexit, so it is a question really of whether the recognition of Hong Kong as being kin to the UK will surpass people's fear of change. Whether they'll accept Hong Kong's culture readily or have unfair expectations that Hong Kongers will abandon everything to be British. Of course there are already ~100,000 Hong Kongers in the UK, but there's a difference between steady migration back-&-forth and an exodus.

(Prev. post deleted due to format)

1. Add more countries to emigrate to in the game and when you emigrate to a country you may need to learn that language to earn that citizenship.
2. You should be able to renounce a citizenship
3. Some countries may require you convert to a religion to have it easier to emigrate there.
4. Let us move abroad to join political and religious movements
5. Add foreign education to the game. For example, under one year you can study in a nee country and stay there for life or temporary.

Hi friends, we’re moving up to Emigration Canyon this weekend and I need to set up reliable internet for day trading, work and kids shows.

We’re new to the area but I see reviews for Century Link and Xfinity as best for the area..can anyone recommend me one way or the other?

Thank you!

I'm a little confused on how exactly Transit Hubs are suppose to work. I see they give +100% Resettlement Chance to all planets in the system. But does the bonus to Resettlement increases a pops chances of moving away from those planets, or moving to those planets? I'm not sure if I should build the Transit Hubs in places with excess population, or places that need additional pops from elsewhere.

I've lost hope that widespread systemic changes will happen on the federal level. Even ignoring the glaring fact that America is an oligarchal gerantocracy influenced by the legalized bribery of doners and the 'gifts' of lobbyists, I'm becoming alienated with the political radicalization of people within this country. It wouldn't be so bad if people weren't being radicalized over which AuthRight, warhawk centrist giving lip service to a culture war that seemingly is going nowhere. I've lost family members to the political radicalization machine (OAN, Newsmax, far right political pundits) and it's sad knowing that as the drums of the culture war beats, they will only become more cult-like and aggressive about their beliefs. There's seemingly no solstice among liberals and "leftists" as many of the loudest voices on the "left" cannot see the world outside of their vapid, yuppie ideologies essentially relegated to universities and divorced from most working class people. Worse, is that the BlueCheckmarks on Twitter which partially help shape social discourse seem no less bloodthirsty than far right conservatives when it suits them. All while the federal and state governments gradually tighten control over our civil rights and liberties.

All in all I'm very demoralized by the state of the US and while I'm 100% sure that this current system is not sustainable, I don't and can't wait 50-100 years for the system to come crumbling down and a new one to replace it. Worse are the hypothetical prospects of the American people getting something even worse than what we have now.

All of this demoralization had culminated in some thinking about where I want to be, the society and culture I want to live in and whether or not I could ever see myself raising children in an even more deteriorated United States.

This has led me to think about my prospects of emigrating, but whereas most Americans would justifiably choose a developed country with a similar enough culture like Canada or Australia. Even the most American friendly developed countries tend to have tighter immigration and residency laws than the US itself, disqualifying a large demographic of Americans who are likely most negatively impacted by the legalized corruption and material decline of this country. In that sense, I've been looking more "locally" at countries that may have less of a developed economy but could possibly still provide a better standard of living than I know a lot of disillusioned Ameri

Historical examinations of the United States rightly emphasizes the massive influxes of immigrants that came to the US in droves throughout this entire period.

I understand that the US did have immigration quotas to put a cap on specific/general levels of immigrants per year, but how did the governments of Europe specifically react to people en mass leaving for America hoping for a better life? (With the slight implication that life in the US was going to be better then the homeland).

I understand certain populations were fleeing national problems( Irish potato famine comes to mind), but many others were leaving just because of general standard of life issues. We’re there any attempt to discourage/make illegal en mass emigration from any nation? If so, did they try to regulate the outflow to certain nations?( Like favoring Canada over the US for the British or discouraging emigration to Brazil?)

Hi all!

Just wondering if I could get a general consensus on anyone in this Subreddit who'd be classed as being under 30.

I myself am 25 and after spending the last year, like everyone else on the Island, watching Govt blunders and scandals become a daily occurrence (obviously to my shock and horror of course, because Irish politics never has any scandals.....) And a grossly incompetent management of a global health crisis, causing unnecessary deaths because of terrible choices made with prioritising the economy over public health.

I've lost all faith in ever making a life for myself here, extortionate house prices, insurance, high tax, food and fuel prices too.

It's almost as if the system is run to force young people who aren't established to emigrate rather than fix the underlying issues leading to all of the above issues.

I plan on Emigrating to Australia/Canada asap, my viewpoint is that I'm not going to stay here to bail out the country with my wages, I saw and felt the effects of the last time that happened. On the verge of homelessness at the age of 11/12 because the govt prioritised bankers over working class families, watching my Dad in the army get his wages decimated yet still working to the bone to make any bit of small change, my mother also working to the bone while raising me and my young sister at the time, barely managing to make mortgage payments due to interest hikes and wage cuts.

The only reason we managed to stay afloat was a compensation case my dad had from when he was in the navy where he went for surgery and it was botched, resulting in horrific scarring and multiple additional operations to fix the mistakes made first time around, go figure huh....

I saw what way Ireland treated those people who worked to try and make a life and honestly, this country doesn't deserve the citizens it rules and doesn't deserve another chance from those it did wrong, especially this time around, it's the same repetitive cycle of FF/FG hegemony on national politics and it'll never change.

So back to my question, is there any like-minded individuals out there who are also of the mindset of getting the F out of Dodge before the bubble bursts Post Covid ?

I'm hardly the only one ?

Let me know what you think!

Cheers.

A friend of mine claims that,

1. due to residual medieval land-use laws, the underclasses of central Europe were not allowed to gather protein from most land-based wildlife (boars, deer, rabbits, etc). Cultivated animals being generally too expensive especially for the urban poor to afford until the later part of the 19th century.

2. Much of the protein eaten by the poor (even in the 19th century) was gathered from fish in waterways, which were not typically the property of the aristocracy. Even when simple grains were freely available, more complex nutrition was often sketchy prospect for the underclasses.

3. Industrial pollution and destruction of wetlands was rapidly reducing the quality of fish available to peasants and urban poor.

4. Therefore emigration to the Americas was not only driven by desperate urban conditions, wars, political/religious restrictions, etc, but also a lack of nutrients specifically due to aristocratic land-use practices around protein agriculture.

Obviously there are other considerations like war, urbanization, capital enterprises sucking up the free labor of the peasantry, etc that all contributed to famines and emigration. I'm just curious if there is evidence to support the claim that damaged fisheries notably accelerated famine/emigration during the 19th century.

Here in Ireland we have had a long history of emigration (for one reason or another), and this is reflected heavily in our traditional music. Many Irish folk songs are about leaving the country and the feelings surrounding that. Is it the same with the traditional music of the many Latin American countries that also have had large scale emigration, to the USA or elsewhere?

Edmund

Ed had a nervous smile on his face as he made his way to the room that his new wife Alerie was giving birth, led by an oddly reticent midwife. Having his first son - of course, it would be a son, he was certain of that - was an odd thought, of course. It seemed only yesterday that he was playing pranks on a Bracken boy with Gawen, and now he was to be a father? At least he could add 'spinster' to his repertoire of insults to use against Victaria, three years his senior and still unmarried, though she didn't seem to care.

The midwife who had fetched him had been queerly silent, barely saying anything about Alerie's state, but he was confident that all was well. Sure, the Queen had given birth to a stunted boy a few months ago, but Percy's seed was probably just weak, since his first child had been a girl. He'd told this to Maester Eldwyn, who had shaken his head, but Edmund was sure he had the right of it. Besides, Gawen's wife had just given birth to a healthy son a few weeks ago, and named him 'Wilbert' - Gods, what a stupid name - after some general.

In any case, he would be leaving soon, going with Uncle John to Ashford, to put down the uppity Stormlanders, and it would be some time before he saw his wife or his son. The moment he had been waiting for all his life was upon him, and he couldn't dampen his excitement with apprehension. Even the sadness at losing his twin for a time, or his confusion at why John had insisted that he, specifically, accompany him paled in comparison. As he approached the door, silent midwife in tow, he was confident absolutely nothing could possibly be wrong. He strode into the room, a smile on his face. "Alerie!" he greeted, "how are you?"

Good evening, I am 23 years old and I am Portuguese, currently my country does not give me the conditions to create a family and have a home as I want because the progression in work is almost zero and wages are low where house prices are very high. I am thinking of emigrating to Netherland, I have been a computer developer for more than 2 years and my girlfriend has experience in the catering/ restaurant sector, what advice can you give? what zones or what contacts should i have?

Thank you.
