It's obvious that you guys want too! No need to be shy, ask whatever you want, whenever you want. I'll be sure to answer.

I have always wondered how you were able to fit a Kebab shop in almost every area of Tokyo, Turkey.
I understand if you cannot answer the question but I couldn't pass up on the opportunity. I hope I have not inconvenienced you.

Hahaha! Good question! Alright, so where to begin.
First of all, I'm able to fit a Kebab shop almost anywhere, you should go visit Warsaw, they're honestly on every corner and some are even right beside each other.
It's not the space that matters cause we can easily put our kitchen in a truck and park it on a street. The key is to have a good eye for properties that are being rented. Once you're set on it, there's no turning back and if you think about it. There will always be business at a Kebab shop.
Just to add a bit more information on this topic. We Turks are a business orientated culture, which I'm sure you understand as well having some of the biggest and most profitable businesses in the world. We like to make money and if you've come to any location in Turkey you'll see how many bazaars there are which already speaks volume on the type of people we are. We treat almost everything like a business transaction but not in the negative way in a way that assures close ties with the people that we want as loyal customers.
And to finish this off. Kebab shops have become so internationally that on most occasions the owner is actually someone from Lebanon, Pakistan, etc. We came up with the food and other people use it to make a profit.
I hope this vaguely answers your question. I got a little long winded there. xD

I appreciate how thorough your explanation is Turkey and find the answer to be sufficient. I can't help but associate it with Sushi shops in the world, and often find that the owners in other countries are in fact locals or Chinese.
Thank you once again for the clear and concise answer.

Yeah, no problem, buddy. We have a lot of sushi shops too...and I know for a fact that they're not all owned by Japanese but I can't complain. They make my people happy.

Thank you for the response in my section, I deeply appreciate it. To reciprocate, I hope you enjoy the following.
A Greek and a Turk get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished, but, amazingly, neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the Greek sees the guy is wearing a T-shirt with Turkish written on it and says, "So you're a Turk. I'm a Greek. Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God. God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." The Turk replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God." The Greek continues, "And look at this. Here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of Retsina wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then he hands the bottle to the Turk. He agrees, takes a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the Greek. The Greek takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the Turk. The Turk asks, "Aren't you having any?" The Greek replies, "No...I think I'll wait for the police..."

One day a Turk and his camel were walking in a desert when they meet a stranger. The stranger asks: Where are you going with this donkey ? Turkey replies: Are you blind? This is not a donkey. The stranger quickly replies: I am not talking to you, I am talking to the camel.
Now then...
When did you lose your virginity and to whom? It was Greece wasn't it. Why do you wear that mask? Why didn't you listen to my military advice?? Help me humiliate Austria more?

Austria: Har har har, funny except I know what you did. You switched the role of the Greek and the Turk obviously. No Turk would ever fall for such a simple scheme, only a Greek with his alcoholic tendencies would, first of all have a bottle of wine. If it was raki, I would maybe find this more believable but as it is, this was a good try but complete failure. Plus, be creative and get your own ideas. I know I'm amazing and you clearly envy everything about me but if you asked nicely I would sleep with you. (At least that way it would boost up your none existent reputation) B) @prussia: Are you Germans really that simple you all use my idea to get back at me? I'll give you credit, yours were more creative than Austria because obviously the person talking to the camel (Who I suspect is Greek because if you knew Greeks like I did you're know they are crazy and like donkeys or goats) is insane, camels can't talk. They'd prova blu spite in you before even moaning a camel response. Question 1: No, it was not Greece, I took his virginity. It was actually Mongolia because we had good yet strange relations although that was only once and very awkward at that. Rome was my second...I learned quite a bit from him if I'm being honest at all. Question 2: The mask was given to me by one of my sultan's, Osman I and I've kept wearing it to remind me of what I was, what I became and what I will become. A reminder not to forget my past but also not to let it cloud my future. Question 3: Now that's a good question. You see, as much as I wanted to keep to your advice, my empire was an irreversible mess by the time I enlisted your help and your brother's help. There were so many small internal problems that escalated into something big on top of the complete humiliation of the first Balkan war and then soon after the second and next thing I knew there was a world war and I really had nothing. My money was being put into the war, the Young Turks were plotting against the Sultan, you westerners were sweeping in and tearing me apart. I had a shit ton of stuff on my plate. If it counts I tried to keep what you told me at the heart of my military but it didn't amount to anything with the collapse of my empire inevitable. Question 4: Always! >B)

Hei, Turkki! I just wanted to ask, do all the tourists from my country bother you at all? Your place is a popular vacation spot among my people, and I know sometimes some of them can act a bit... um... immature. They don't cause too much trouble, do they?

Hello, Mr. Turkey... I have a random question, well two actually. The first is just a what if. What if you had control over Canada as a colony? Just curious. And also, can I ask what's the importance of your half mask you wear? Thank you.

@finland: Ah haha! Finny, my friend, no, they do not. Trust me. My people are just as rambunctious and I can without a doubt say that they probably take advantage of your people. And plus, I enjoy tourists. It's always fun to host people from different countries. Yeah, there are times when its frustrating to deal with tourists. I'm sure you've had that problem too. I get tourists from all over the world and if I let a bit of immaturity bother me I'm pretty sure I'd lose all my tourists. But, can't say my people don't like looking at your people. My country is for others to enjoy! Have as much fun as you want, well, within limits of course. I don't want you guys destroying the place cause an unhappy Turk is a mean Turk. @canada: Sure, sure, ask away, kid. Oh ho ho~ If I had control over Canada....oh the possibilities. Well for one, you wouldn't be speaking English...I may make an exception with French but you wouldn't have a province that speaks it. The main language would obviously be Turkish. Although, honestly, the cold is a little a put off because as you know I'm used to very warm climate. There are places that are cold here in my lands but mostly hot. BUT, I can't say that I haven't come visit your lands and I know that there quite a few Turkish Communites spread throughout your provinces. I'd make sure to come visit you as often as possible. Your cuisine would be a lot better than it is now, no offence, but, it could be a lot better. Geez, kid, you asked a tough question. There are so many things I'd do with your lands and you as well. I wonder if you'd still be blond...hmmm, if you were discovered by France and England and then I came over and kicked their asses back to Europe, maybe you would be. I'd teach you how to dance and play good music. Just like in my country oil wrestling would be your main sport....but the thing is, so much would be different if you had been my empire. I doubt I would have collapsed when I did. Who knows I may have still been an empire and a force to be reckoned with. There are so many What Ifs because who's to say I would just limit myself at colonizing your lands. The taste of conquest makes you desire more. I know that better than most, it was also what brought about my downfall. I guess, in the end, it's a good thing that I didn't colonize your lands. The world would be in a completely different place and although it may be a better possibility for me, I'm not upset about where I am today. Of course, there's never anything wrong with strengthening relations. If you know what I mean. Hmm, my mask interests so many people. Well, if you want, I answered that when Prussia asked. There's a bit more to it but that's the gist. If you want me to elaborate further I don't mind you'll just have to ask again. But go check out my response there. Hope both your interests have been satisfied. >D

-blushes a bit- I wouldn't have an issue strengthening relations with you either, Mr. Turkey. I love learning new things, and would enjoy learning about your language and culture. Also, you are right, there are some Turkish communities spread throughout my provinces, but at the same time there are a lot of other cultures there too. I have a third question too, just a silly little thing, I promise. During your Empire days, when you were conquering other nations close to you, was there anything that you wish you could have kept into the future? Like good relations with a certain nation, or a part of your heritage that you wish continued? Thanks so much!

Haha, well, that's good that you're so open minded. I can name several nations that aren't....they should probably learn from your example. Even though I could definitely learn from your example too on certain issues, but I didn't say this
I know where all the Turkish communities are located. So, of course I'm right but I'm more aware of the ones in Ontario and Alberta since there they're quite large. Great bunch of Turks, you should go visit them if you want to learn more about my culture. I know in Toronto a few years back they held a Turkish like celebration near Younge Street...but that may have been for your Heritage Festival celebration.
Geez, kid, you call that a silly one...I don't want to know what you consider a more indepth question or a serious one.
Honestly, if we're going to go that way with the question, I would have loved to keep my empire in general because everything I would have wanted to keep, would still be here. Which makes this a simple answer and probably one that you expected to hear. But, if I were to just pick one...Allah, that's a hard one to answer.
There are a thousand things that I regret, now that I can look at them in retrospect. I hate to admit it but I think I would have liked if Greece and I were on better terms so that Cyprus wouldn't be such a divided mess. Maybe, we would have been able to work together for the better of the region but I can't even be sure with that because if you know the Greek as well as I, he's as lazy as fuck sometimes.
I think I would have also liked to have kept my royal family within my borders instead of exiling them. I believe the granddaughter of the last Sultan lives in America with her family and she has come to visit now that my government has lifted the ban on their family and returned their citizenship....but...it shouldn't have had to end up like that. Yeah, the Osmanli line screwed up by the end of the empire but my people fail to see the good that they had also done at the top of the empire.
This is what is predominate in my thoughts at the moment, I'm sure if I sat down to think about it a little more I could find so many more things.
And for future reference Canada a silly or simple question would be like : What do you usually eat for breakfast. Bl
Just so you know it consists of a lot of fruits, vegetables like succulent tomatoes, cheese, bread and above all coffee.

Turkia amado, I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time, how is it that your sweets are so good? I've tried doing them before and it's nothing like the real deal, even though we have great honey over here.

Guzelim~ My sweets are so good because I'm so good.....and we've had many many centuries of perfecting our recipes. B) Hmmm, this honey, I hope you're not using it to make baklava. My recipe doesn't use honey at all for the syrup....it's more of a sugar base. Don't get me and that stupid Greek mixed up, it offends me, really. And plus, his recipe sucks compared to mine.If you ever get a chance to try mine and his....you will see exactly what I'm talking about. If you want, I can come over and I can teach you the ways of Turkish sweets making.
