I got 1984 for Christmas, and I just read the first chapter last night. Amazing how many times I thought of the Demo game while reading it. :) And no, I somehow have not read the book before.

The motto of our nation is "Walk like an Egyptian". I would like to foster dicussion as to whether this should be changed to "Walk like a Licentian" or not?

I made comments that relate to this in the Nation Name poll. THe flag was the only one that was stated as leading to a run-off, so the rest were final polls.
