The Free Land of Shroomieland is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its quiet, industrious population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports.

Crime is totally unknown. Shroomieland's national animal is the mushroomeater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the shroom.

The Empire of Nakaria is a small, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32 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.

The enormous, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 25%. A healthy private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nakaria's national animal is the murder rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gerbil.

Nakaria is ranked 5th in the region and 10,439th in the world for Fastest-Growing Economies.

Everyone is so right or left. I think Hallifax is the only 'moderate' nation I've seen thus far.

And all of the currently top-ranked nations are Laissez-faire.

Jigan's nation's children smoke...Jigan is such a good leader...

(at least my nation's children gamble and make money instead of spending it.)

Psh. No, your nation is just awesome. Who wants to boast the most citizens who work for the government? Dictators have people pay THEM to do their dirty work, amirite?

Northoltian's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. biggrin.gif

10th in Economy yesterday, 28th today for public sector.

Started as a civil-rights lovefest but changed to a left-leaning college state when I made voting compulsory. Don't like some of the changes though. "Meat-eating is frowned upon" wasn't at all what I wanted to achieve. I was looking to encourage ethical practices in the meat industry, not turn my population into veggies sad.gif

The Free Land of Balzagna - Iron Fist Socialists.

The Free Land of Balzagna is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 8 million are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, organ donation is compulsory, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Balzagna's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the poin.

Balzagna is ranked 3rd in the region and 15,261st in the world for Largest Public Sector.

The Most Serene Republic of Memestan

"Log or screencap, or it never happened."
QUOTE
The Most Serene Republic of Memestan is a fledgling, devout nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Trout Farming.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Memestan's national animal is the zenobia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the forumpost.


And within five seconds of its creation, Memestan has already been bombarded with 5 region invites.

Whoever this is has solved perhaps the greatest problem of human government. With marijuana.

The Commonwealth of Crumkindivia is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 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."

The small, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A substantial private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Uranium Mining.

Crime is a problem. Crumkindivia's national animal is the hornet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the crum.

The Holy Empire of Nightshadea is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 35%, 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 Trout Farming.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nightshadea's national animal is the spotted whooping crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the glom.

The Dominion of Snaithykins is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 14 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Religion & Spirituality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 29%, 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 Arms Manufacturing.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, meat-eating is frowned upon, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime is a problem. Snaithykins's national animal is the darthen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the paperclip.

Snaithykins is ranked 10th in the region and 6,233rd in the world for Most Corrupt Governments.


Woohoo!!
