Kingsman was started by men who had a lot of money going spare after their offspring were amongst the many casualties of the First World War (which was supposedly how Statesman started as well). It's separate from the government and not like any ordinary spy organisations like MI6 or the CIA (who along with the government can be quite corrupted - see The Secret Service - and have been involved in unethical events (all those cruel experiments and assassinations of people). So, if Kingsman isn't government-funded (like all those other spy organisations), then where does the money come for it? Or was it all already covered by Kingsman's original founding members?

Does anyone think that since Eggsy is Prince of Sweden, that he will continue to be in Kingsman, one of my friends said that Eggsy couldn't be an Agent since he is technically a public figure.

I've been wondering this.

Happy New Year, everyone! 2019 was a big year for Fandom. For an overview, check out the staff blog post This Year at Fandom - 2019.

You might have noticed that some wikis are showing new video content. The new video series, called The Loop, will have new videos weekly and will be replacing the old featured videos that were placed at the top of some wiki pages. Read more about it in the Community Central staff blog post An Update on the Future of Featured Video.

Hey everyone! I'm going around to let communities know about a couple things. The first is a new feature called Global Taxonomy, which will better personalize wiki recommendations for you and visitors. People who would be interested in your wiki content will be better able to find it, and it will help you discover content that’s interesting and relevant to you. You can read more about in the Community Central staff blog post Introducing Global Taxonomy.

Second, I've been enjoying the Best Practices blog series, and I'm recommending it to everyone. Most recent is the blog post Templates and Scripting on Fandom, which addresses automation, JavaScript, and template usage.

Hope you find these useful as well!

I scrolled down a little bit and saw a thread about a Canadian Kingsman... that got me thinking, what would the agencies for other countries be like? China, Japan, Russia, whether the Nordics had a single united agency or five separate ones, France, Germany, India, Australia, etc.

As a Finnish person, I could imagine a Finnish agency being called Snowman (yes, everybody would make fun of it... "Was your founder drunk when he came up with that?") or Woodsman; the agents would be codenamed either after different words for snow and ice, like Snow, Sleet, Hail, Icicle, Frost, Ice, Winter, Whiteout, Blizzard; or Kalevala characters like Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen (and then they'd silently giggle when foreigners try to pronounce them). They'd have the best sniper agents as a shoutout to the Winter War (Simo Häyhä apparently got eight people with a single bullet once).

Their uniforms would be less formal business suits, while their cover would either be a mobile phone company or video game developer. As a result, they'd also be quite skilled in the technological aspect of field work and have an even wider array of strange gizmos than the other agencies (other than the Japanese agency who specialize in gizmos).

Any ideas for others?
