If you're not familiar with the form it's a non-rhymed poem. Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Haikus about random stuff on my desk: Sunkist Orange Pop The Lady Ga Ga of drinks Nasty, but tres good. Beloved Swingline found Don't steal my office supplies Get your own stapler Excel for Dummies Okay, I'm not a genius Don't rub it in, title |

It covers the three most important topics: our name, that we are a drug-free region, and that you should check us out. What more could you ask for. |

Thanks to Ubiquisque over on the gameplay forum we now have a Latin haiku about not doing drugs. This is why NationStates is awesome. Behold our new motto: Alterra Sumus Et Non Narcoticamus Nos Perscrutate I look forward to the RP explaination for this. |

Promittimus Non Facimus Venena Technically, "Venena" means poisons, with a secondary meaning of drugs, but I like it better than "Psychotropica". I can change that if you want. Edit: Bahaha, I'll just edit this to be my motto |
