Bill O'Rights

WoW! This is so old, everything died. For those that may be interested in picking back up, I recreated the region of TFProject Organization.

The Republic of Cantcatchabreakistan

Location: TFProject Organization

The Republic of Cantcatchabreakistan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42%, 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 Furniture Restoration.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Cantcatchabreakistan's national animal is the college babe gone wild, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the shiny stone.

The Republic of Ugmo
"In the leader we trust!"

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights:Some
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Few
Location: the South Pacific

The Republic of Ugmo is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable 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 large 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. The average income tax rate is 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

Crime is a problem. Ugmo's national animal is the flying fish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the togo.

Coppertop

The Rogue Nation of Coppertopia
"Our guns are bigger than your guns"



UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Rare
Economy: Imploded
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

The Rogue Nation of Coppertopia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 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 average income tax rate is 60%, 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 Arms Manufacturing.

The Confederacy of Haugstad
"Always Forward"

UN Category: Corporate Bordello
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: TFProject Organization

The Confederacy of Haugstad is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A healthy private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Basket Weaving.

Crime is a major problem. Haugstad's national animal is the turtle and its currency is the minatoku.

Left-leaning College State

The Democratic Republic of Nuevo Marrow is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

You know, it is amazing how accurately this game pegged me. My state really is like my college: small, wealthy, super-liberal, smart, plenty of drugs and no law enforcement. This is where I want to live. Well, except I don't like seafood.

Civil Rights: Superb

Political Freedoms: Excellent



The Free Land of United Pho is a very large, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 179 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. 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.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism. Crime is well under control. United Pho's national animal is the armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the peso.

Location: TFProject Organization

The Holy Republic of Molybdenopolis is a small, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax kroutons each year, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Molybdenopolis's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the krouton.

bah! clearly this program is written by capitalist running dogs! By economny is not a basket case!!!!! The concept of "income tax" is meaningless, the people ARE the government, how can people take from themselves??? We are not taxing, we are merely managing the distribution of goods so that they favour the general good, and people are able to fulfill their true and communal interests, rather than petty selfish ones.

Bill O'Rights

Had to share this issue.
When I set up The Republic of Cantcatchabreakistan, I made the national animal the college babe gone wild. Which prompted the following, rather humerous, issue:

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Cantcatchabreakistan's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that college babe gone wilds could be added to the menu.

1. "The fact is, the college babe gone wild population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Klaus Dredd. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have college babe gone wild kebabs, college babe gone wild pies, college babe gone wild-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."


2. "I agree that something needs to be done about college babe gone wild over-population," says random passer-by Gregory Li, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like we've always done?"

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Akira Silk. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The college babe gone wilds were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The college babe gone wild is part of what makes Cantcatchabreakistan a great nation!"

The college babe gone wild is part of what makes Cantcatchabreakistan a great nation!"
Well...Hell, yeah!!
