I just... don't name it? My brain just does it, so the name is a bit, well, non-existent. But I'ld say T-wee over T-why. Or, you know, T.W.I., sometimes (never).

The Republic of Saundesh

Recently, I saw some non-Indian Americans state that Indian Americans have upper caste privilege and then Indian Americans chiming in how their parents were poor when they arrived in the US. Then some conspiretard claimed Kamala Harris is an oppressor because her mother is a Tamil Brahmin...

I believe that most non-Indians think "upper caste = rich and lower caste = poor" (this might also be cause Indian Americans have the highest median household income) and second or third gen Indian Americans either have no idea of the privilege their ancestors had (if they are of the liberal variety) or are in denial (if they are of the Hindu nationalist variety). Well yeah, Brahmins were never the richest group in India or in Nepal but education, or what counted for education back then, was restricted to them. In Rana regime Nepal, several pro-democracy Brahmin rebels escaped death penalty while their comrades were executed. Brahmins almost never had to pay fines for crimes against castes lower than them. In both modern India and Nepal, the political class became mostly Brahmins as a consequence. Educated people are more likely to have educated children who in turn became highly skilled professionals who had easier access to immigration. There is a reason why only 1% of Indian Americans are Dalits.

The Republic of Saundesh

A funny myth that I see many Pakistani socialists and Indian liberals regurgitate is that "Pakistan was created by Jinnah and feudal Muslim elites because they hated Nehru's socialist land reforms".

The Federated States of Domanania

National Prompt:

How much debt does your country have? How much does your country spend on servicing that debt? After the debt servicing, does your country still turn a profit on their budget? If so, how much?

Domanania has around $600 billion in national debt, which was accrued following its civil war which it used to try and rebuild. The government spent the next 30 or so years taking out loans to develop its economy (rather successfully), but is now attempting to pay back that debt. The national budget allocates 5.6% to paying off its debt, which amounts to roughly $13 billion. Carefully budgeted, the national budget turns a profit of abour $830 million every year. At its current rate, Domanania expects to pay off its debt in little over 40 years.

Neither, I always read it as "The Western Isles", both orally and in my head. For some reason, I find that both pronunciations of "TWI" require too much oral or mental effort.
