Replace Japan with Germany and I'm in.

Furthermore, it completely defeats the purpose of sovereigns citizenry. Aren't they supposed to not recognize the government's authority ? If their plate was issued by the DOT, it means they entered a contract with them. Or something like that, not 100% sure about the (lack of) logic here.

When I became a Canadian citizen, around a decade ago, I pledged fealty to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada.

So, Canada (and probably Australia too) is a kingdom different from the United Kingdom, that happens to have the same monarch. Different crowns, same person under it. Given that the British monarch only retains a ceremonial role in every country that they "rules", having the same one doesn't make a lot of differences from having our separate one.

Yeah, we can also make it fun. Once someone has amassed a certain quantity of wealth, make a big ceremony, where the guy is given a trophy that says "I won capitalism". After that, every dollar he makes past the limit is taxed 100%

Yeah, the headline made it sound way worse than it actually is. Or maybe I'm biased and expect the worst when I see priest, drug and sex in the same headline.

As a non American, thank you. The headline made zero sense without that context.

In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.

He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.

May I suggest you use the french tarot rules ? If there is a French community near you, you may find players among them.

Here are the rules translated in English : https://www.pagat.com/tarot/frtarot.html
