Anyone wanna play NationStates again?

I like how The Republic of Colbertism's motto is "We're Better Than You, and we Know It" yet they're the dumbest nation in EWBInternational.

That was golden. Frighteningly, they're also the second-most devout nation (I say frighteningly because A Fugue State is the most devout and that doesn't reflect well on us, though if memory serves we actually placed ninth in Smartest Citizens).

Civil Rights: Superb

Economy: Imploded

Political Freedoms: Excellent

The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Cars are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Rhoninia's national animal is the lesser spotted ninja, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rhone.

Now THAT is a fucking COUNTRY.

Am I the only one who agreed to force prisoners to give blood?

[apsham]

My peoples have the right to choose whatever they want to... so naw, I won't do that.

[King Ellis]

Prisoners have no rights

[apsham]

Rehibilitation, FTW.

[Pesci]

I'm doing my usually "choose everything to give the people the least amount of political freedom and civil rights possible" schtick. I might start playing this properly someday but I doubt it.

My animal is a dirty whore. It is breeding with dogs and has created some crazy hybrid race that is overtaking the country! Srarsylvania is becoming a cheesy Sci Fi movie

[apsham]

But at least you're cultured!

[Your Mom]

This is true. We will all drink fancy coffees and laugh at pretentious jokes as the Srar dogs eat our children

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for The Kayfabe Nation's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Kandimans could be added to the menu.

Is it wrong that I banned cheese from my country?

Ironically on the topic of national animals being eaten, the chocolate bear is a delicacy in the Kingdom Of Turk.

Civil Rights: Some

Economy: Frightening

Political Freedoms: Outlawed

The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the people of Dead or dying pandas are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, panda hunters are becoming popular in pet stores nationwide, and the government is cracking down on subversive groups. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dead or dying pandas's national animal is the panda hunter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the panda fur.

That's what I call a country.

Civil Rights: Below Average

Economy: Strong

Political Freedoms: Few

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales industries.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flaming KrisClassic's national animal is the noob, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the flame.

Ahem.

"People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right"

[The Nawd]

The Dictatorship of Karrtopia has joined today.

Motto: "It's my way or the highway!"

National Animal: Goat

Civil Rights:

Few

Economy:

Weak

Political Freedoms:

Outlawed

The Dictatorship of Karrtopia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 37%, 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 Information Technology.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Karrtopia's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Megabuck.

Ooooooookay. Now to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to be doing.

KillApSham is a UN Member

The United States of KillApSham is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 40 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, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Commerce and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Euthanasia is legal, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and the kitten is a protected species. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. KillApSham's national animal is the kitten and its currency is the dollar.

KillApSham is ranked 44th in the region and 73,594th in the world for Largest Agricultural Sector.

I've damn near recreated the United States of America. I'm fucking ace.
