The Empire of Europe Russia
"In order to have peace there must be war" Category: Tyranny by Majority Civil Rights:Some Economy:Reasonable Political Freedoms:Superb Location: Russia Regional Influence: Minnow The Empire of Europe Russia is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities. The large, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology. Crime is moderate. Europe Russia's national animal is the Pheonix , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ducat. |

Category: Compulsory Consumerist State Civil Rights:Some Economy:Very Strong Political Freedoms:Few Regional Influence: Contender The Holy Empire of ---x--- is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 595 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling. Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over ---x---, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. |

The Armed Republic of Carpathiam Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent The Armed Republic of Carpathiam is a huge, devout nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 253 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Social Equality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing. The nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, businessmen have been raging over recent 'gender equality' policies in the workplace, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and medical lawsuits are out of control. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Carpathiam's national animal is the grey hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the carpathia. |

I can't do that. My WA nation is a delegate. | ||||

You need one more endorsement than everyone else. | ||||

The Kingdom of Kallibann "Driving the Genocidal Underground since 2007" Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy Civil Rights: Very Good Economy:Reasonable Political Freedoms: Good The Republic of Kallibann is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its quiet, industrious population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing. Crime is moderate. Kallibann's national animal is the nerf and its currency is the credit. |

It's just a cute little browser game.
http://www.nationstates.net/ I don't find the social interaction very interesting, but the "issues" your country faces every day rather fun. It gives you a legal issue and then gives you 3 positions you can adopt for your country (or you can dismiss the issue). It looks like the positions are "Yes" "No" and "Extreme!" Here was mine for today: Issue: In response to a slow news week, certain highbrow newspapers have stirred up the debate over voluntary vs compulsory voting. Position 1: "Compulsory voting makes about as much as sense as having the death penalty for attempted suicide," says civil rights activist Fleur Washington. "You can't force people to be free! You can only give them the choice. Besides, if all those derelicts who can't be bothered to get off their butt once every few years voted, who would they elect? I shudder to think." Position 2: "It's not contradictory at all," argues political commentator Charles Licorish. "The fact is, if not everyone votes, the outcome isn't truly representative. Some groups--like elderly gun nuts--vote more often than others. That's why we always end up with such terrible politicians." Position 3: "This raises an interesting issue," says George W. Broadside, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?" I took position 1

That was my first issue lol. I chose the second option.

The Colony of Caprica "Humanity's Children Came Home" Category: Inoffensive Destroyed Representative Republic Civil Rights: Extremely Good Economy: Terrible Political Freedoms: N/A The Colony of Caprica is a fledgling, post-nuclear apocalyptic nation, remarkable for its near complete absence of living humans. Its quiet population of 21 has the right to do whatever it wishes. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Nuclear Radiation Medication Production and Blanket Weaving. Although most of its 17 residents rely on scavenging. Crime is high due to frequent drive-bys by Cylon robots on its 13 residents. Caprica's national animal is the cockroach and its currency is the cubit. Caprica's 9 residents aren't expected to last much longer. When put to a vote, all 5 residents of Caprica agreed.

Can you merge nations? | ||||

Holy Empire of Augarundus Corporate Police State Freedoms: Outlawed Civil Rights: Unheard of Economy: Strong The Holy Empire of Augarundus is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed. The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports. Political activists are routinely executed, military spending recently hit a new high, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Karasdovkas each year, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is moderate. Augarundus's national animal is the raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Karasdovka. |

Lul Invictus would make a Holy Empire after I did | ||||
| Xander Vos |
|
||||
| Lord Invictus |
1) I made mine first
2) I had to make a Holy Empire due to my obsession with the Holy Roman Empire. (which was not Holy, was not Roman, and was not an Empire: It was a semi-secular German Kingdom, and the largest in Europe but was not great enough to be considered and Empire). |
||||
| Sirak Sazen |
You make a country and answer a few questions. How you answered them affects what kind of country you have (dictatorship, democracy, communist, psychotic dictatorship, etc.). Every day you are presented with issues. Your country progresses based on how you handle the issues. It's really fun and simple. |
||||
| Crozeus |
I started getting the same issues when I hit 400 mil-ish.
What's cool is having 500 mil people. My nation type is now "Unstoppable Mass"
|
||||
| Lord Embeion |
1)The Holy Empire of Dakothism was founded in 4000 B.C... 2)The Romans were just copying The Holy Empire of Dakothism and all its greatness. |

The United Socialist States of Diebstahl
"Wir sind thef, aber wir halten was wir nehmen!" Category: Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Good Economy: Fair Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: The Rebel Union Regional Influence: Eminence Grise The United Socialist States of Diebstahl is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt. The large government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Equality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Furniture Restoration. Euthanasia is legal, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diebstahl's national animal is the mongoose and its currency is the geld. Diebstahl is ranked 1st in the region and 17,815th in the world for Most Politically Free Nations. http://www.nationstates.net/30453/page=display_nation/nation=diebstahl |

I loved this issue I laughed so hard.
A loose coalition of sartorially-challenged individuals known as "Let It All Hang Out" has called on the government to relax public nudity laws. The Debate 1. "For too long, our bodies have been trapped in these prisons of cotton and polyester!" yelled protester Aaron Thiesen, while apparently developing a nasty case of sunburn. "We must repeal the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime. My body--my choice to dangle!" 2. "I agree," mused sociology professor Max Love. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all." 3. "Whoa, whoa," says noted accountant Johann Fellow. "Are these people serious? The last thing I want to see when I'm out for a coffee is some lumbering, over-weight nudist coming down the sidewalk toward me. If people want to get naked, they can do it in the privacy of their own homes. Think of the children!"

The Theocracy of Augarundus
"Purity and Piety." Category: Iron Fist Consumerists Civil Rights: Unheard Of Economy: Good Political Freedoms: Outlawed Regional Influence: Contender The Theocracy of Augarundus is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 18 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources." It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports. Bicyclists are banned from major roads, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, gambling is outlawed, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Augarundus's national animal is the raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Karasdovka. Augarundus is ranked 2nd in the region and 24,218th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita). My flag.... is awesome. |
