I don't really how I came up with this from what was asked but this was my result:

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

Location: the Pacific
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.

Peetster

This is fun, actually.

Location: the West Pacific

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 issues are also interesting at the beginning but they tend to repeat too often.

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.

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.

I played a similar game referred to as Order of Power that was actually human GMed and had only real nations. My country was Colombia, and my goal was to strike a deal with the cocaine cartels and put an end to the suffering of the people in the ongoing drug wars. It was fun for a while, but it does get sort of repetitive.

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.
