The Republic of My United States is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent 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 medium-sized government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A robust private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Crime is moderate. My United States's national animal is the tiger shark and its currency is the dollar.

The Free Land of Peetster is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Defence are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling industries.

Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Peetster's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the peetster.

The Rogue Nation of Lost Oblivion is a small, devout nation, renowned for its burgeoning mosquito population. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 10 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Religion & Spirituality, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27%. A healthy private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lost Oblivion's national animal is the mosquito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the memita.

The Dominion of Guthmund the Great is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

A substantial private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Automobile Manufacturing.

This has been out there for quite a while now, but hopefully this is new to a lot of you 'politikers' on this board.

Here's the 411:

Jennifer Government: NationStates is a nation simulation game. You create your own country, fashioned after your own political ideals, and care for its people. Either that or you deliberately torture them. It's really up to you.

And here's the link:

<a href="http://www.nationstates.net/">NationStates</a>

Have fun with it, and post your nation's status to let the rest of us know what you're doing with it.

So far mine's an 'Inoffensive Centrist Democracy', so Hah! No one can get upset at me

PS It's free...

This was fun for a while, until it became very obvious that the creator of the system was so completely slanted in his/her political views that they had no idea what civil rights is even about. If the government wasn't involved in solving extremely simplistic issues for the population, then the solution was bad bad bad and drastically effected your liberties rating.

It was fun getting started, but someone needs to put together a version of this which has no hidden agenda so that I can create a separatist libertarian government without being accused of stomping civil rights simply because I don't believe in federally subsidizing every aspect of life.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 18%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Keynesia's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.


bah, not as i wanted it

This was fun for a while, until it became very obvious that the creator of the system was so completely slanted in his/her political views that they had no idea what civil rights is even about. If the government wasn't involved in solving extremely simplistic issues for the population, then the solution was bad bad bad and drastically effected your liberties rating.

It was fun getting started, but someone needs to put together a version of this which has no hidden agenda so that I can create a separatist libertarian government without being accused of stomping civil rights simply because I don't believe in federally subsidizing every aspect of life.
Or perhaps, just perhaps, collections of policies can interact to create situations your politik may not have wished for.

Just a small, tiny, insignificant consideration.

The Rogue Nation of Gekstudia
"For Brain, Body, Heart & Soul Forever"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Very Good

Location: TFProject Organization

The Rogue Nation of Gekstudia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 746 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Equality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is avowedly atheist, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gekstudia's national animal is the black tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gekst.

Gekstudia is ranked 2nd in the region and 9,137th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

The Grand Duchy of Habes is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Religion & Spirituality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Habes's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the duros.

The Armed Republic of Crazybill

"Nothing without guns"
UN Category: Free-Market Paradise
Civil Rights: Unheard Of
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The North Pacific

The Armed Republic of Crazybill is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling industries.

Crime is a problem. Crazybill's national animal is the grizzly bear and its currency is the dollar.

EDIT: I moved to TFProject Organization.

The Republic of BundyOI

"Oi oi oi"

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: TFProject Organization

The Republic of BundyOI is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, 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 -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Retail industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. BundyOI's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rum.


so, because i was a bad leader long ago, i´m not allowed to name my new nation, Bundy.
hope there´s no hazing for enw nations in the TFP region of the world.
