For the first part, why he doesn’t have a formal education: Nog is living on a space station with his uncle and father. Not in a Ferengi society. The Uncle doesn’t want to shell out for an education for the kid cause he’s Ferengi and doesn’t want to pay for things, and the father just goes along because he’s kind of a doormat. There’s not enough opportunity for job-shadowing that allows Nog to learn from a Ferengi mentor that’s capable of teaching such things as literacy, so he remains ignorant. Also explains why he gets into so much trouble (aside from the bad influence of his uncle), as he has too much free time from lack of mentorship.

He also shows that he’s very hard working when he applies himself. So, in addition to tutoring from Jake and probably Keiko, he just buckles down and does the work. Especially when he gets to the academy. He specifies in “Homefront” (Or “Paradise Lost”, I don’t remember exactly) that he’s doing all right at the Academy. Not excelling, so he’s struggling. Probably not the least of which is because he’s behind in education as compared to his classmates.

As long as it’s not Phil.

I don’t think I see US in this map at all…

Honor is a flexible concept, especially for Klingons.

Slowly over time.

Luckily there’s plenty of younger douchebags to take their place, so we don’t have to worry about them running out!

Star Trek: F•r•i•e•n•d•s?

Capitalist institutions push capitalism? What kind of world is this!

There’s that one episode where she relives the trauma of losing her first child.

Well it’s made up of four distinct islands in a sort of stretched out chain whereas Germany is more a big block of land in the middle of a continent (depending on your preferred definition of what that is).

TNG, Devil’s Due

There was that one episode where they tried to save a planet from Satan. I dont think the planet was technically pre-warp, though, especially since there were federation scientists/engineers on the planet working with the population.

Weren’t they working against the prime directive? Otherwise they wouldn’t have beamed them back down after beaming them up. They had to trick the ferengi into leaving of their own accord… well the accord of the mob burning them in a pyre, but still.

Is it the new “I’m gonna turn 360 degrees and walk away”?

Winngrainvowel?

Don’t forget to put asterisks in potentially offensive words, as well. Don’t want to get a ruler across the knuckles by Sister Strictness either.

He owns a car company, why would he glorify what he sees as competition?

They didn’t need DEI because they were naturally diverse (in universe, at least).

The defiant class was technically the only warship they built for a long time.

HA

In your experience, at least?
