What kind of nation would you build?

[Almighty Colin]

Just started mine: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index....tion=dark_logic (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=dark_logic)

The Democratic Republic of Dark Logic is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 million are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem. Dark Logic's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the powerand.


Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Superb

[Dianna Vesta]

I tired to this but found it too limiting for my taste. I want a matriarchy, of course and the countries animal is male. Lol

This is a great concept and idea for marketing if it was enhanced better. A great concept for a site actually.

Thanks for sharing.

Ok I'm in

The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now

Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Some

Location: The North Pacific
The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working 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 Social Welfare, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 22%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ignis Fatuus Now's national animal is the parrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sponge ball.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A substantial private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Information Technology and Soda Sales.

Crime is moderate. OldJeff's national animal is the sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the drachma.

The Armed Republic of Spartan Heroes is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working 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, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The Holy Empire of DaBishop is a tiny, safe nation, notable 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."

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 Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 49%, 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 Retail.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DaBishop's national animal is the clydesdale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the click.

Nudity is frowned upon, education and welfare spending are on the rise, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime is a problem.

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 small, corrupt, pro-business 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 2%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Come on Colin, it's just that your laissez-faire capitalist policies are failing - the same online as they would in the real world.

I, on the other hand, just pumped more money into public education, and plan on taxing the rich to fund it. Things are going quite well in The Most Serene Republic of Lazy Stoned Bastards (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=lazy_stoned_bastards).

Your corrupt government will be your downfall and those in power will only force your 16% tax rate higher. Your nation will descend into anarchy.
Oh, yeah and you joined the UN. Soon they will suck even more energy out of your economy by destroying your woodshipping industry just to save a few squirrels. To hell with that!

The Republic of Nickatilynx
"We don't give a f###!"

UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Few

Location: the Pacific
The Republic of Nickatilynx is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 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 tiny government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A robust private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Gambling, and Trout Farming industries.

Crime is moderate. Nickatilynx's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the nick.

The Republic of JRistan
"Get your shit together or get out."

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: the Pacific

The Republic of JRistan is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape.

Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Crime is a serious problem. JRistan's national animal is the scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

The Armed Republic of Spartan Heroes is a small, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. 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 small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Income tax is unheard of. A large private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, the country is preparing for war, Harry Potter books are banned, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime is a major problem. Spartan Heroes's national animal is the pornodoggy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Buff gold piece

Come on Colin, it's just that your laissez-faire capitalist policies are failing - the same online as they would in the real world.

I, on the other hand, just pumped more money into public education, and plan on taxing the rich to fund it. Things are going quite well in The Most Serene Republic of Lazy Stoned Bastards (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=lazy_stoned_bastards).

The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now

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

Location: The North Pacific
The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10 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 Social Equality, Social Welfare, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, euthanasia is legal, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ignis Fatuus Now's national animal is the parrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sponge ball.

Ignis Fatuus Now is ranked 2868th in the region and 50,055th in the world for Nudest.

[Buff]

I finally got all my citizens barcoded! Damn, it took almost a week!
Bicyclists are banned from major roads, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, organ donation is compulsory, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime is moderate. Spartan Heroes's national animal is the pornodoggy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Buff gold piece.

99 Decision street

The Republic of Pornodoggyland
"FU and the horse you rode in on."

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good Economy: Fair Political Freedoms: Superb

Location: the Pacific
The Republic of Pornodoggyland is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry.

Voting is voluntary and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Pornodoggyland's national animal is the buff-foon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the buck.

Pornodoggyland is ranked 6293rd in the region and 92,286th in the world for Largest Gambling Industries.

Talk about removing the incentive to achieve

With policies like that what's Pornodoggyland going to do if all the top producers and earners decide to leave?

Will the rest of the Pornodoggylandian's be left hanging out with the buff-foon? he he he :unsure:

Well, you did say that buffs can survive eating bark and such ...

BTW - it says the pornodoggy is pushed to the brink of extinction by the rapid rate of deforestation.

Just a tip - if you used something smaller than a field artillery piece to kill off your tree-hugging enemies, you'd probably still have some forests.

I think I've confused my populace -
We have strong anti-business politics but a pro-business government

The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 29 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Defense, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ignis Fatuus Now's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the sponge ball.

Ignis Fatuus Now is ranked 1719th in the region and 27,915th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.

[Almighty Colin]

Vick,

No such confusion here.

The Democratic Republic of Dark Logic is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 32 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.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Law & Order. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied serpent, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities Crime is a serious problem. Dark Logic's national animal is the serpent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Rand.

Ignis Fatuus Now is developing nicely

The Rogue Nation of Ignis Fatuus Now is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 50 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Defense, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and crooks and people with too many kids are being kicked out of the country.
