Nationstates hl2.net Region!

keep'em coming.

kirovman, there's a lot mroe issues now. I had nations long ago too but I left because it got boring
 
What should I do about this issue? It is a fitting issue because if you havn't logged on I am first in the nation for largest rich/poor divides.

"Look, I don't like it either," said Chamber of Commerce spokesperson Beth Fellow. "Just on the way here, I had to step over three homeless people, and one of my shoes got caught on a beggar. But inequality is the price we pay for economic strength. If anything, we need fewer taxes, so those of us who are well-off can afford to be more generous. If we want to, that is."
[Accept]


"I think we've forgotten what economic strength is all about," says social worker Melbourne Thiesen. "The economy is meant to be a means to a high standard of living, not an end in itself. It's become an excuse for the rich to prosper while the poor fall through the cracks. Not everyone is poor because they don't feel like working. We must provide more welfare."
[Accept]


"Who says we're an international pariah?" demands military honcho Miranda O'Bannon. "What are their names? If that's the way the international community feels, we obviously need to prepare for war."
 
Alright... my stupid government is pissing me off a little.

When I started out crime was a problem in the great nation of Reformentia... so one day the issue comes up and I say to hire some more police.

So the police go on a recruiting drive... and crime goes down. Great, bring on the next issue...

Except they keep recruiting.
And they keep recruiting.

My police have been on a recruiting drive EVER SINCE I made that decision days ago and I can't make them stop! 28% of my governments budget is now being diverted to law and order and the maintenance of my now "all pervasive" police force!

Also... I make a decison barring corporate donations to politicians... and the next day somehow ALL PRIVATE donations have been made illegal AND all political advertising too!

Grrr... I need a more direct form of control here. My people are running amok.
 
That sucks about the police. I picked to have public floggins and my crime went down.
 
Yes that will happen...it said in the FAQS that it does exaggerate the issues a lot.
 
I used to play this, started a new gov and joining as soon as I can find out how...
 
The Borderlands of The Minotaur Republic

Motto: "Let them hate us, as long as they fear us."

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The Crowbar Gulf

The Borderlands of The Minotaur Republic is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 12 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Minotaur Republic's national animal is the horned dancing cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lirum.

Oh cool :) Got fed up with that minorities in TV shows issue...that doesn't really concern me, I just want to make everyone in my nation feel terrible.

Anyway here's my nation.
I keep the title Democratic Republic, but that's mainly for PR reasons so I can mislead the world about my despotic tendancies.

The Democratic Republic of Kirovman
"Ego Delactat Cives In Horto"


UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms:Rare

Location: The Crowbar Gulf
The Democratic Republic of Kirovman is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 7 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 juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Elections have been outlawed and military spending is on the increase. Crime is moderate. Kirovman's national animal is the haggis and its currency is the groat.

Kirovman is ranked 20th in the region and 84,037th in the world for Nudest.

I'll probably post my details again when I get to 100 million population....whenever that happens.
 
Just reached 10 million:

Westemnet
UN Category: Corporate Bordello
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Superb

The Holy Republic of Westemnet is a small, devout nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10 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 minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery industries.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, euthanasia is legal, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is a major problem. Westemnet's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dinarii.

Right you are... just noticed my population expansion is accelerating. I'm adding 2 million a day now.
 
Ha ha. My children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region.
 
Can somebody turn my dancing cow image into an animated JPEG flag for the thing, please? I don't know how to make animated JPEGs, only gifs.

I wasn't aware of the existance of animated Jpegs?
 
hee hee, this sounds fun :)


Enter, the "pretty good" nation of The Republic of MarcoPolian
Motto: "We're not that bad, really"

Location: The North Pacific
The Republic of MarcoPolian is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Religion & Spirituality and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 30%. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. MarcoPolian's national animal is the walking stick and its currency is the doughnut.

civil rights: Below Average: i'll have to fix that :p
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Your mutated government officials can deliver policy changes in 20 minutes or less, or else your next ones at half price ;)

*Looks at location*

With a name like that, you better be damned good!

Hey, my U.N. category finally changed! I'm an inoffensive centrist democracy! Score! No point in pissin' anybody off.
 
I've found a website, www.simcountry.com

It's much more involved than nation states, it is based on real market models.

You can wage war, organise business and trade and diplomacy.

Only trouble is, you have to spend a bit of time getting used to it, and some of you might find it boring.

But once you've built a strong enough economy, you can support your war ability :D
 
I spend more time actively playing NS than i do HL2...
Thats sad -_-
 
I'm back to NY Times Democracy...DAMN it...am I doomed to this existence of categorical consistency?

After a brief sojourn as a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise I'm enjoying being back to Left Leaning College State status myself...

Edit... Hey, wait a minute, I recognize that horned dancing cow. You're the Minotaur Republic! You're just the regular flavor of Democratic Socialists you imposter...
 
gcomeau said:

Neat! Wait...no...I hate socialism! Gaaa!
 
Hahaha, Powerhouse economy with 5th most corrupt government.

That's a good coporate police state for you.

I really value my GDP, I'm not going to invest in education or health, it's just business, law and order and defence for me.
 
Bleh. This is getting kind of dull. Its just one extreme or the other. No middle ground. And it's turning my country into a hell-hole because of that. LOL
 
I couldn't find The Crowbar Gulf so I made my own nation

Location: the West Pacific
The Republic of Chancillor Carlos is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 52%, 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 Pizza Delivery.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Chancillor Carlos's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ounce.

The Oppressed Peoples of Kashe has now joined the Crobar Gulf region! :D


The Oppressed Peoples of Kashe
"Anything worth doing involves a baby and a cinder block"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights:
Average Economy:
Strong Political Freedoms:
Very Good
Location: The Crowbar Gulf

The Oppressed Peoples of Kashe is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8 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 small 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 7%. A healthy private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem. Kashe's national animal is the cinder block and its currency is the baby.


Though you should have seen the text in an issue about paying for medical donations - something like "If they donate some blood plasma, they will be able to take home a few hundred babies" :\
