Where Should The Republic Of Jalopistan Be Located ?

Let's say that the world leaders finally acknowledge the Jalops as a Nation, and decide to allow the creation of the state of Jalopistan, Where should it be located ?

The idea for this question came after reading this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on the front page.

My suggestion is of course the Nurburgring, it can accommodate 150,000 persons, so plenty of room for growth. There's plenty of naturals resources for Jalops to live from; Wood, beavers and deers, so the people of Jalopistan could be self-sufficient. To add to the long list of advantages, the Nurburgring is currently looking for a new owner, so there's a great oppo-portunity here.

What do you think, any other ideas ?

Western North Carolina or the Hudson River Valley. Mountains, scenery, and twisty roads.

Somewhere in south america or Africa where it never snows, there's an active port where cars are shipped regularly, gas is cheap, and there's no stable government to impose import restrictions or safety/emissions controls. Plus with some flat land for lots of race tracks.

Why no snow ?

Snow is extremely Jalop.

Correction, no snow for the majority, but with areas/mountains with plenty of snow.

But no snow means racing year around.

Wales.

Great roads and plenty of tracks nearby and since it is in the UK with our laughably lax import laws, all cars would be welcome.

Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Lots of twisties and scenery, not very many people to kick out or make citizens, lots of snow and frozen lakes for winter hoonage, lots of offroad trails for those folks and you get all four seasons so every jalop to has something to enjoy

Wherever there is a hoon that's where the kingdom of Jalopistan is.

It would have to be decided by election, because Freedom. I submit the following candidates:

-Chris Harris

-Doug Demuro

-Patrick George (I'm pretty libertarian, too.)

-Jordan Taylor

-Niki Lauda

-Bill Caswell

-Diffey/Matchett/Hobbs as a triumvirate

-Claire Williams

-Marty and Moog

-Nakai san

-The Ghost of Steve McQueen

Bill Caswell is awesome, but he would be our Pastor Maldonado. The state would finance him to go race around the world and represent us, he would become a national hero and his Birthday would be our Nation's 4th of July.

In the Alps : a lot of twisty roads, many mythical summits and passes, snow and snow-circuit, skiing possibility (is skiing a Jalop acitivity ?), off-roading, beautiful lake, tasty food...

Caswell would probably be finance minister. "Defense spending? Five hundred bucks should cover it."

Spa-Francorchamps or Nürburg. But the original Spa track. All of it.

West Virginia.

Why?

1) It's not Virginia, so no stoopit speeding laws.

2) The roads. It has lightly travelled roads in good condition with lots of elevation changes.

3) It has 4 distinct seasons.

4) Route 250 thru Monongahela Natl Forest in September when the leaves start to change.

5) Summit Point.

Lol after I saw that comment I had an idea to Photoshop a fictitious (obviously) country called Jalopnistan. But I'm in school so maybe I'll try it when I get home in like 5 hours.

But in Jalopistan, you don't RUN for President, you DRIVE for it.

I agree with this. Partially because I can get to different parts of WV 5 different ways from Maryland in the span of half an hour.

As the times continue to fold, the story of Jalops is one to be told. Ones who praise the merits of fun, with vehicles that don't always run. Fret not for they are quick with a wrench and break no sweat should they be found in a pinch. They celebrate all makes and all brands as long as they have a third pedal and stick in the hand, but the answer is miata should the question be posed, irrespective of application disclosed. They only wish for a place to hoon, whilst warmed by the sun or bathed by the moon. Where the roads wind and dip and camber and rise. Oh what a sight it must it! what a sight for the eyes! Oh what was this place and where did it lie? twas Jalopistan, drive free or die.

Can I humbly submit myself for the position of defense minister? I'll do it for free, because I like to blow things up. Also, I'm prior military and work in the ship building industry. Ever wanted to get some Oppolock in an aircraft carrier? It can be done...

Well it's going to be a bunch of different cars, so they won't all be the same size. Hopefully none will be seized. This does mean you will have to live trackside though.

Green Hell all the way. Seasonal weather makes for better drivers.

But stateside my vote is away from the mecca that is Southeastern PA and I have to go with Montana in the late 1990s when the speed limit was "Responsible and Prudent" unless otherwise posted. That was what made America great. Well that and the lack of open container laws. Good times. (and before some bitches start crying, no I never crashed into a minivan killing/maiming a wholesome white christian family, or anyone/anything else.)
