deird_ljI am currently performing an impressive feat of the imagination.
It's all to do with Charthia (my country) and Merotia (my other country). You see, Merotia currently exists in an entirely underground, illegal, roguish kind of way. This makes it tricky for me to figure out what Merotia is actually LIKE, because I tend to define it purely in terms of its reaction to Charthia.
So, in order to get a clearer idea of how Merotia works, I am making notes on what it WOULD be like if it was the only country around, and Charthia didn't exist.
In summary: I am comparing and contrasting two imaginary countries that I made up, by pretending that one of those countries doesn't exist (in my imagination, given that it already doesn't exist in reality) and thus inventing a THIRD country (the second country without the influence of the first one) so that I can figure out what the second one is like RIGHT NOW when the first country DOES exist (in my imagination, at least). And the third country doesn't really exist at all (in the non-existant imaginary space of the first and second countries), but I can still use it at a handy reference point when making up the other two countries.
As you might have noticed, I have very little to do today.
