  • sweet!!........ I have a constitution I suggest that you get one

  • You're really pretty except for that terrible frown, lol

  • I've created a micronation simiilar to Nova Roma, It is based on Thracian culture(whose most famous people would be Spartacus and Orpheus), to get more information on it access nthrace.blogspot.com or comment on my channel.

  • Some millionaire dude put a bunch of sand in the ocean and claimed it.

  • You totally remind me of John Green :)

  • u are so cute:)

  • Comment removed

  • i dont want 2 offend, but how do you find a UNMANED and UNOWNED oil rig they arent just oil rigs scattered across the sea it costs millions to build 1

  • If any micronationalist outta there wants to establish Diplomatic Relations or alliance, write me.

    Sincierly,

    Prime Minister of Lurk Federation.

  • It's odd this Video was posted 7 days after I founded my micronation...

  • MY NEW MICRONATION CONSISTS OF MY HOUSE:)

  • I have a micronation licated in my bedroom called skipsia. We have a flag, a population of 7...5 being stuffed animals and my bff who praticly lives there. We are 2 minutes ahead than the rest of michigan due to my failure to set clocks. If you wish to follow please go to

    Principalityofskipsia.tumblr.c­om

  • if I could start a micronation we would focus on art and science. Build an international search and rescue team and have a huge them park for tourism.

  • all of you should look at microwiki . org . uk

  • I'm thinking of creating a micronaiton/model country (online only) for YouTubers. Got a flag and a name so far.

  • I only found your channel a few days ago (thanks to your Wheezy Wink), but you are already my new favorite Youtuber. Thank you for making such amazing videos!

  • @jcmik Aw, you're so sweet! Thank you!!

  • Hello, You wanted a comment. So .. Sunshines! (Hello), from Cheif Casey Heinzism of the Heinzist Tribe :) .. Nice to meet you.

  • this is not true, make a real floating island

    Live on it and you can make it your own laws, language and the likes

  • canadian pun LOL

  • I'm actually ROFL!

  • If anybody wants to found a micronation-seriously please contact me

  • Ohh, I really wanna create my own Micronation!! And we will focus on enviorment, equality, and freedom. A new world ;__; Not that I would never ever get that working.

  • What is the name of your micronation?

  • can we legally wage war on other micronations?

  • @SteezySteez2011

    Yes, if you use Airsoft or Nerf, but I recommend not doing so unless you're within driving distance of the micronation you're declaring war on.

  • so fahnny joke

  • A question? Can men be micronationalists when all they care about is how big theirs is???

  • ....You Scare me

    

  • I have one called ''Frettessia'' Not latin, not anything.

  • @cateematthews I found Nerdfighteria through a girl I worked with as a camp counselor (who then became my best friend for obvious reasons). It was one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my entire life! How about you?

  • I enjoy your videos. I am now subscribing. That is all.

  • I love this, its brilliant :D

    Anyway, I have been a Micronationalist for almost 2 years, and its thoroughly enjoyable.

    Great Britain is in the process of validating the legality of 2 micronations including my own.

    If you want to know anything from an actual experienced micronationalists, just give me a nudge :)

  • Okay, so you stole my lifelong obsession. Again. Not cool, kiddo.

  • @cateematthews probably a squirrel... because we have the same attention span... Ohmygod what if it was a giraffe?! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! :D

  • @cateematthews 10 words... crazy, artistic, cynical, loud, nerdy, generally inteligent, hard working, excitable.

  • @ineedausername9 I'm hoping that it works as a tribute to the canon and Joss, and isn't just capitalization on previous awesome like so many reboots. Fingers crossed.

  • My favourite series was series four with 10 and Donna, and although I do like Amy I think Donna had better development as a character so she's my favourite. I liked how she was written and how at the end of the series she became just as important and that she was remembered along with the Doctor. What about you? Any thoughts on River? :)

  • @uponastratocumulus Donna's storyline was brilliant. I do hope Amy develops this season to become somewhat more vulnerable - she has a habit of being always sexy save the day girl. And River - I've heard so many theories on her, from she's Amy's timebaby to she's going to kill Rory, the greatest man she ever knew - I just don't even want to hazard a guess : )

  • @cateematthews Yeah, I thought that about Amy too. I liked River in the library episodes but in series 5 she fell out of my good books but the first two episodes of this series made up for that. However this newly found liking for her may have just come from finding out that Alex Kingston went to the school i'm currently at. :)

  • *holds up Japanese flag* What do you mean someone already has this one?

    Awesome video, as always!! :D

  • @cateemathews My favourite music is, I suppose, alternative rock. Muse, Our Lady Peace, The Hush Sound, Foo Fighters, Ben Folds (Five), Queen, Pocket Change, and then the fun stuff like MIKA, Cobra Starship, and Disney music. Also, I love choral arrangements of anything and everything, I'm a choir nerd.

  • @cateematthews I'm a mango because I said so! ;)

  • @cateematthews Favorite Doctor? Psh, easy, Tennant! :) Yours?

  • @krazgrlw8n4acure It's definitely between Tennant and Smith. I don't know, there's just something about Smith that I really like...

  • @ineedausername9 Buffy's still a cookie. Personally, I like Oz better, but I feel like Tara, if all the issues between them were worked out, might have been Willow's "one", if there is such a thing. Excited/scared about the upcoming Buffy movie?

  • Um probably Michael Aranda, Vihart, or Rebexington.

  • @ShelleB88 I did! Are you coming?

  • Hey there!! I'm Cathy (aka BittenUsagi around most of the internet) and I found you via owlssayhoot. Ummm as for a question... I really have no idea... wait, got one, do you have any superstitions, if so do you have any unusual ones (like other than don't walk under a ladder, open an umbrella inside, etc.)?

  • @BittenUsagi Hi, Cathy! I don't know that i have any tradition superstitions, but I'm a huge procrastinator, and if I know I should be getting to be or starting on homework and the book I'm procrastinating with should fall out of my hands to the floor (for example), I tend to take that as a "sign" that I should move forward with things. Do you procrastinate at all?

  • @cateematthews I am the queen of procrastination. Haha.  When I was in classes I'd clean rather than study, which of course made my husband want to call my professors and ask them to assign extra work, lol. Actually I'm procrastinating right now, but doesn't a nap sound so much better than cleaning house? ;)

  • @BittenUsagi It does! : )

  • Hi, I'm Anita! Just subscribed, and I already adore you (also directed by owlssayhoot). Favorite quotable book?

  • @WasinTungsten For an English paper, I've found that Shakespeare and the Judeo-Christian Bible get me everywhere. My favorite book though, is Life of Pi. What's yours?

  • @cateematthews Life of Pi is pretty great, especially because my dad used to live in Pondicherry and I've been there a few times. But my favorite book is probably The Princess Bride :P

  • @WasinTungsten I love that one! : )

  • Hang on. Can you declare basically anywhere your own Micronation? For instance, my back garden?

  • @Lushbob Haha, yep. Just have to (pretend to) take it very seriously.

  • Thumbs up like is not enough. This video is one of your best. Humor, whismsy, sytle, pace, delivery - spot on. Well done, well done, well done. I love the crown.

  • @woldds Thank you : )

  • Hello Cate. I go by Hawkeye most everywhere on the internets. I was directed to your videos by owlssayhoot (aka Kayley, aka Wednesday from 5AG) and have really enjoyed your videos.

    My question for you is: I really enjoyed the Vlogpocalypse from VEDA, was that a onetime thing or will there be more?

    Also, would it be cool if I added a (late) video to it?

  • @Hawkeye446 You can definitely add it in! It was done mainly for that day, but other people have added to the canon post-April, like TheSonicScrew. And there's talk of another movement like that sometime : )

  • I adore your crown. :3

    Question: do you still have your old stuffed animals? yes? Then show them! :D Please :3

  • @aWannabeNerd I would, but unfortunately they're all at home : (. What's your favorite of your stuffed animals? Any story there?

  • @cateematthews hhahah, I've got like 40 stuffed animals (in a box underneath my bed). One of them I still sleep with. It's one of the oldest I got. I take him every where I go.(well.. not school and such) It's kinda my little travel companion. When I was younger I used to make beds and hammocks for all of them. They all had a personality and likes and dislikes. Friends, family or some of them were lonely. Few of them protected me against the monsters in my room. There millions of stories. ^^

  • Completely radom question, but have you ever been white water rafting?

  • @TheRealBullfrog I haven't, unfortunately, although that might be fortunately because I imagine I'd manage to kill everyone else on the raft. Do you recommend it?

  • Who is your favourite female icon?

  • @radioCure4 I don't know! As a feminist, I feel way undereducated on this - who is yours?

  • @cateematthews actually I'm not sure as well. I think Alice (from wonderland) or Jeanne d'Arc.

  • where do you come from?

  • @wintersgill95 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Are you going to Vidcon? (I'm not, so I'll be eternally jealous if you are.)

  • @cateematthews i was tempted to go this year but like cos i'm from the UK i don't think i will bother not that i don't want to i just don't have the time this year but i really going to try go next year (if its still on by then)

  • Similar to other peoples question, but my question for some day of the week would be: what five books would you want with you stranded on a desert island?

  • @mixedmetaphorMeg I answered this in my new video : ). What two movies would you bring with you?

  • HELLO this is the first video i have watched of yours and i loved it :) my question is what is your favourite book/series of books and why? i look forward to more of your videos!

  • @catherine1495 Harry Potter's my favorite series. Have you read them? What house are you?

  • @cateematthews I LOVE THE HARRY POTTER SERIES :D i am in gryffindor, and you? im so excited for deathly hallows part 2!!

  • @catherine1495 I consider myself a Gravenpuff. And I'm terrified for the last film - Harry Potter was so much a part of my childhood. I remember when I was in fourth grade calculating with my friends when all the movies would come out and not ever really believing I could be this old.

  • @cateematthews i know what you mean i am terrified of it ending but extremely excited at the same time! i have a really bad memory and the last film i remember seeing in the cinema was prisoner of azkaban which was a while ago haha. i do however think that even after the films end, reading the books and duelling in class will remain some of my favourite hobbies :)

  • HI! I am one of those new people! LOL micro-nation. That's cool. I like your crown. So a question? What about...do you watch Doctor Who? If so, if you could travel anywhere, anytime, where and when would you go and with which doctor?

  • @BSmeansBlueSalad I love Doctor Who : ). I actually made a video about that! "If I had a Time Machine." Where would you go?

  • @cateematthews yeah after posting the comment I actually watched that video. heehee

  • If you could chose only one place to live in for the rest of your life, where would you live and why?

  • @priy12 Manhattan, Upper East Side, rent free. I'd like to say somewhere very multi-cultural or dynamic, but if I'm going to live somewhere for the rest of my life, I'd like to have somewhere I can live comfortably when I'm old, but can still easily access everything else while I'm young : ). If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

  • Oh, hello! I just realized I'm not subscribed to you! I just fixed it. Dunno if you recognize me from Grannyyy :P

  • @SpellboundSama Hi, Sama! Of course I recognize you : )

  • Tuesday QOTD... What album or soundtrack would you have a person listen to if you had the chance to push one towards someone to say... I'm kinda like this album or soundtrack. Or well just what type of music do you like or would say "hey you need to hear this... really listen and tell me what you think?" I hope all is well... Take Care And All.

  • @Twisterx76 I have absolutely terrible taste in music, but I've been in love with the Decemberists recently. Do you have an album to suggest?

  • @cateematthews Ok... So your asking me about a ablum. I'm really shocked... Yet I can say this. If I was to point out a "MUST HEAR/PLAY THIS!" Album... I would point you toward "Jonny Lang- Album "Lie To Me", and Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Trouble Is... One is blues and the other is a mix of blues/rock... Both you could play and not hit the skip button... Sound Tracks... Prince "Purple Rain" or "Batman" soundtrack. I really take in a great deal of music and can swing from this genre to that... Anyway

  • @Twisterx76 Will definitely check them out : )

  • What is your favorite micronation?

  • @inufruba The Principality of Sealand! : ). They even had a civil war. Ever been to Europe?

  • @cateematthews

    mine too!

    no, I want to though

  • whats your favorite type of music?

  • @daykomi1 Oh, I have terrible taste in music. Any suggestions?

  • what do you want to be when you grow up?

  • @defense360 A writer : ). And you?

  • @cateematthews a movie director! we should both make our dreams come true!! and when it happens ill read your writing, and you could watch my films! huzzzah!

  • @defense360 : D

  • Why did you start vlogging?

  • @thesummerfragments I'm going to be making a video response on this topic very soon. How did you find the Youtube community?

  • @cateematthews Oh good! I'd love to hear about it! You're thoughts are so profound I love it! I started watching Meekakitty years ago and had always wanted to make my own. Then I found other vloggers and fell in love with it. I started making videos but here very low quality. I'm getting a new camera soon though. :)

  • So glad that Kayley sent me here, already loving your videos. My question:

    Whats your goto video on youtube that you love and can watch over and over again?

  • @IndieRock101 Tinuviel, by Brendanlinwood. Who's your favorite vlogger?

  • @cateematthews Sorry for taking so long to reply, not used to having non-spam in my inbox. Rhyming with Nerimon is probably my favoruite video, but owlssayhooots, Harry Potter Misconceptions is a close second.

  • if your favorite color (what is your favorite color, first of all) could be embodied by an emotion, taste, or smell, what would it feel/taste/smell like?

    also, from what i've seen so far, you seem quite swell. :)

  • @EllietheSwellie Aw! <3. Probably sea-green, and that leaves me far too obvious a synthesia. It tastes like kelp, smells like the ocean air, and feels like for a moment, you've gotten lost in the world and thereby, just for the moment, you've become a part of it. Same question to you?

  • @cateematthews I love that idea of feeling lost and a part of the world at the same time. It reminds me of how sometimes the world seems simultaneously so large and so small. But, my favorite color is darkish purple, it tastes of something sweet/sugary, it smells of that sickly sweet pollen-y scent of spring weeds, and feels like the calm and comfort I sometimes get whilst sitting outside at night in the summer. (I'm being quite obviously influenced by the current season here. :) )

  • This is fantastic. :) I love micronations. There's one that you can pay to become a lord or lady of, and we paid for a ladyship for my AP World teacher. :)

    Who was the first vlogger you started watching?

  • @skywriter11 Probably littleradge : ). I'm so glad Alex featured you in that video! Sorry we all got so riled up!

  • If you could go into any profession, and money was not an issue, what would it be?

  • @taylahboone Haha. That's kind of what I'm doing, going into writing. Although I imagine money will be an issue : ). What do you want to do/ what do you do?

  • @cateematthews I can only think of hair and make up artist for TV and Films...but don't think I'm a girly girl...because I'm not. I hardly even wear make up.

  • is it bad if i can't think of a legitimate question? i kind of have that whole this-was-cool-but-i-have-nothi­ng-insightful-to-add thing going, but i still want to comment....

  • @thiswillneverbeme I'm glad you did. I have that all the time. Describe yourself in 10 words so that we can get to know each other and be best friends ; )

  • WE GOT THE BEAVER!

    Also, can I join your micronation? :)

    And I am so excited for internet prom!!

  • @brendanlinwood Most definitely, and me tooo!

  • Oh, you're going to Internet Prom! I wish I could go, but I don't know who to ask... Does anyone know an awesome NerdfightingYoutube-boy?

  • @FredAndElle I don't, but you still have two days! *fingers crossed*

  • Brilliant idea. I think I will go and claim my own land!

  • You mentioned "Question Tuesday" not being on a Tuesday. Is this coincidence, or would you happen to be a Nerdfighter? (If so, or even if you aren't, DFTBA!)

  • @pandamoose18 Of course! How did you find Nerdfighteria?

  • Favourite non-green vegetable?

  • @EmilyCanFlySometimes Carrots! I I keep holding on to the hope that they'll make me be able to see : ). Tomatoes - fruit or vegetable?

  • @cateematthews Yay carrots! That would have been my answer too. And tomatoes- definitely fruit. They have seeds, so they must be!

  • Dont know why, but you remind me of Ijustine

  • Dont know why, but you remind me of Ijustine

  • I feel like that'd be an interesting case study in social psych/sociology. Forming a micronation, that is.

    And hi. I'm kind of new here. But your videos are so enjoyable.

    And I'm going to turn the tides and ask you a question. Do you read much? And if you do then what's your favorite book?

  • @franksiv I read a lot! I love Life of Pi - it's just absolutely brilliant. What's your favorite?

  • What would happen if beavers took over the world? And I am SO forming my own micronation....

  • @jujubeans360 : D. We'd all be dammed. And if hermit crabs took over the world?

  • haha cute -- check him "oot". :]

    1. Favorite character to play as on Mario Kart/Super Smash Bros/Pokemon Stadium?

    That would be my default question for every question Tuesday.

    Personalized question:

    2. Define Halliism.

    Okay, more like an essay prompt than a question. But WE MUST INFORM THE MASSES.

    jtlyk, you're so super awesome and adorable and deserve every subscriber, Cate. :]

  • @holyhippogriff I HAD A DETAILED ANSWER TO THE HALLIISM QUESTION IN MY VIDEO BUT THE AUDIO WOULDN'T SYNC. *sigh*. <3

  • @holyhippogriff And yeah, haha. I was hoping someone would notice the "oot" : )

  • Are you prepared to have about 100 times the amount of fans you currently have? Cause it's gonna happen. You're awesome.

  • @WelcomeToSamsWorld Aw, you're sweet. <3

  • why is your voice sometimes higher than usual?

  • @uLivful I'm very expressive. Do you ever talk with your hands?

  • @cateematthews haha kind of.

  • Hi. My name is Christina :) I was going to ask whether you owned a sonic screwdriver but seeing as the answer would either be "Who doesn't?!" or "What the hell is a sonic screwdriver" I've decided to forego this in favour of a more 'sensible' question: Lions, giraffes or zebras?

  • @MannequinToes Discussed in my QT : ). I don't have a sonic screwdriver though - should an interstellar emergency occur, care if you loan me yours?

  • @cateematthews Hmmm... I'm not sure. I'd need to see a written confirmation stating that you are reliable and won't break it. As you can tell, I'm very protective over it. :) On the other hand, you seem honest and if there was an emergency, I'd probably let you borrow. 

  • Ohello Cate! I'm Jess! Do you think that You-Know-Who would prefer Diet Snapple over low-cal Arizona Iced Tea?

  • @fancywallpaper Discussed in my QT : ). What do you think?

  • Hi Im Tyler! what are some of your favorite bands/artists. 

  • @TerminalToMyMind Oh, I have horrible taste, I really shouldn't recommend any. Do you have any suggestions?

  • If you could be any board game, what would you be and why?

  • @ktgreeeno Explained in my QT : ). Which one would you be?

  • @cateematthews I'd definitely be Candy Land. What is not to love about candy? :)

  • im thinking of starting a micronation, theres a position as Grand Pundlewunk of Sangelfindlestank Order if your interested.....? :) as to leaving you a question....... why did you decide to start making youtube videos? kinda generic i know, but i can't think of anything good right now :P

  • @TheAssassinsClaw I'm going to be making a video response on that very subject! How did you first find the Youtube Community?

  • @cateematthews sweet! :P i found it really through my friends, who were talking about charlieissocoollike at school one day, i decided to check him out, found out about nerimon and the vlogbrothers through him and my knowledge just kinda spread from there :) i look forward to your video response :D

  • What is your favourite book and why do you like it so much?

  • @080tigereyes080 Right now, I'd say Life of Pi. I can't even begin to explain why. It's just brilliant. Have you ever read it?

  • @cateematthews Yes, I have. I read it for school in 9th grade... apparently it wasn't exactly what my teacher had in mind when she said "Pick a book to write an essay on". I quite enjoyed it though.

  • favorite doctor who episode...ever. yes its hard to choose, which is why i asked mwahaha. okay fine, what are u top 5-10 favs (2 part epis count as 1)

  • @krazgrlw8n4acure Oh, goodness. I can't even begin. I will say this season, I loved "The Doctor's Wife." Who is your favorite doctor?

  • You're too awesome. Sometimes, when i get an idea for a video, I feel like just giving it to you because I know you'll make it cleverer.

  • @HannahTheMidge I don't know. I'm always quite impressed by the work of Creative Hannah.

  • How old are you? You look like 16, but then looking at the video of Brendan, I can imagine you are 23!

  • @lidiluvu I'm 18 and Brendan's 20 : ). Haha.

  • @cateematthews Oh Ok! Perfectly in the middle of my guesses =)

  • If you watch Doctor Who, which Doctor is your favorite? Mine is probably 11. :)

  • @uponastratocumulus I love 11 too! I do like 10's voice though. Who's your favorite companion?

  • I do speak Latin, and 'nonpatria' is an extremely clever name for a country. Props for that.

  • @0000sensei Haha. It's all thanks to Google Translate : )

  • so glad you've had so many people subscribe to you all of a sudden. you've come on a long way from being the shy/awkward girl in your dorm room. this video was great too x) keep on keeping on!

  • @extrovertigo Thanks, Michael : ) <3

  • I love your videos, they inspire me. So I wonder, what inspires you?

  • @AndreaNord09 People, mainly. But also wikipedia - I love browsing it. I know it's education lite, but sometimes it's just what you'
