I certainly say 'cran' whereas the wife from the east coast thinks that's an abomination.

Harvard makes it look like this is kind of all over: http://dialect.redlog.net/staticmaps/q_9.html

How old are you guys now? If I am 23 I am guessing you guys are in your late 20's or even early 30's (?). It's weird to think about how I played this in middle school.

My principles of Marketing professor said he was 29, so I suppose I wouldn't be too surprised if GOR is already around or older than that.

They usually dont insist on being called "Professor" unless they are a professor officially or whatever (It lists their tiers on the university website). Usually they imply they prefer "Dr". Sometimes "Mr", and SOMETIMES their first name

*The 29 year old implied he prefers his first name. But that may be because he is young, especially compared to me. (I am older than most people in my classes)

Turned 30 earlier this year, as a matter of fact. The last of my 20s have passed me by.

I'm about 29.
Dr is the preferred title if you have a doctorate. Professor can be a title held by someone without a doctorate and, more pointedly, many of your faculty probably are not technically professors or at least not full professors (adjunct, associate professor, assistant professor, lecturer, instructor of record) so it's easier to just go off of their degree. If they are going by 'mister' I would guess they don't have a doctorate, at least not quite (perhaps in progress). I think you said you were at a 2 year college, so that's pretty common.

I was at a community college but am now at a university. ALL the professors at my community college were libs.

*professors or whatever-you-wanna-call-them

I'm guessing the reason my population is bigger than Western Mars' is because it says I prioritize healthcare.....I dont know when I did that. This nation is younger.

*It's also younger than Cylthropia. This is the nation I founded after being IP-banned.

*I have been in this community (former-IRU and successor region nations) longer than anyone alive still except GOR I am guessing. I vaguely remember before Mars, Cylthropia, Balkans, etc.

No offense to Balkans, but I should not have made him president. He barely did anything (but I saw him as a friend at the time). He was very excited when I told him I was considering him. I would definitely appoint GOR if I could go back in time. I remember my 2 candidates were Mars and Balkans, and I picked Balkans because he seemed more enthusiastic, while from what I remember Mars was willing to take the position but wasnt ASKING for it like Balkans practically was. So I gave it to the candidate who asked. But Mars and Balkans were 2 people I consider(ed) good NS friends. I was always friendly to GOR as everyone was. He really should have been the successor. And it would have put what I interpret to be less of a NEO-conservative in there. Both Mars and Balkans were/are neo-cons. That doesnt matter much (irl political views) but I'm just saying itd make a lot more sense for me to pick GOR looking back on it.

*And GOR is the only nation I remember being "here" before me.

I'm not a neo-con, wtf.

Balkans was certainly the closest thing to a neo-con, but yeah Mars is probably less like one than you are, at least in terms of political views.
