The nation of --- - is for sale. There is no minimum bid. Here is the factbook.

The People's Republic of --- - is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 303 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.

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, Education, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90%. 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.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, organ donation is compulsory, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. --- -'s national animal is the --- -, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the --- -.

I will also accept the trading of nation(s) for --- -.

That is off topic but I will answer it. I have no idea, but I do know that he's an immature 10 year old that needs to find something better to do than flame regional message boards.

During a time when war between my region and the region of Madea was very close, he betrayed me to them, and banned me from his forum after I created the layout, etc. for him and then blocked me from AIM. He takes this game tooo seriously.

OOC: Becuase selling nations IC is terrible role-play and selling nations OOC is pointless becuase you can't use the cash.

Plus, I like the Strongbad link, I don't actually want to punch you in the face.
