The Eternal Dynasty of Mizuna
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."

UN Category: Corporate Police State

Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: Galaxy a771
The Eternal Dynasty of Mizuna is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.031 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

All children are supposed to be schooled by their parents, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mizuna's national animal is the squallem, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the waffer.

Mizuna is ranked 1st in the region and 21,294th in the world for Largest Cheese Export Sector.


Thats right, I'm selling this nation, but I'm not going to be selling it for cash, or glory, I'm selling it to the best roleplayer who wants it, and thinks they can handle running a good story line with it. Post your ideas here, along with two links to RP's you've run in the past. The best idea and the best roleplayers will then be given the password, but, will have to roleplay either its anexation, or its independance. . . please note, I would rather it remain free from your main nation, at least in the fact that it would be a seperate entity, completly different from your main nation, preferibly they would have no knowledge of each other.

*bump*

surely someone is interested

I'm tempted, but I have enough puppet nations.

I am interested. *
*
I have a RP concept that has been slowly building over the past couple of weeks regarding the Church of Angelus. It's not very big or important right now, but I would like to see the Church becoming more accepted throughout NS.*
*
An idea I had was to have a rather large nation sowly convert to the religion, and then become the seat of the Priesthood. Basically, they would see the establishment of seminaries, monasteries, universities, and several other little things that the pacifist religion would sponsor.*
*
As for some of my RP? There are quite a few RPs I've been envolved with, including a couple of the Archived threads envolving the Triumvirate of Yut. If you require links to my more recent RPs, simply let me know.

I think Angelus should have it.... he's a great RPer from what I've seen.

The only RP I do is Football (soccer) ;)

Thank you, Spaam. That means a lot to me.

*she smiles and blows him a kiss*

*is Mizuna*

Hmm, I rather like that idea, if no one else posts a bid within 24 hours, I'll declare it yours by default.

I'd take it, but i'd just make it another territory of the Imperial Navy.

I think Angelus should have it too.

Angelus is a masterful roleplayer and should be given this, if for nothing more than her role playing ability. If it does become an auction I will personally match any funds that Angelus bids (to double her bid in her favor) as a personal thank you for all of the hard work that Angelus does to up the bar for role palying.

no funds will transfer hands, I find the idea of selling a nation for money to be rather, disgusting at best. I'll note your voucher for her, and as much as I like her idea, it will be hardpressed for anyone to come up with an idea I like better. While I'm at it, Bump for more ideas

Winning bidder thus far:

Angelus

I'll have to grab a few of my RPs off of something, and I don't really have a storyline for it yet, but I would like to see it as a main supporter of a small nation I have called the Free Peoples of Adumas. kinda like it's big brother protectorate state. I'd like to see the country go through a change in policy though which could be a good RP seeing as it's current legislators are doubtlessly corrupt and pro-business. I'd like to sterr it more towards a less corrupt and more pro-people government.

Also, it gives me a large country with which I can create diplomatic RPs outside of my region.

Apostasia is also one of my countries for the sake of RPing products.

interesting, but a bit generic, can you think of anything a bit more interseting? it is a nation that has not only nationalized all private buisness, but has become ruled by them. Its essentialy a collective of corpoerations, and I'm interested to see if anyone can come up with something playing off of that. So far, wining bidder is Angelus with her idea to convert it into a massive theocracy.

I doubt I can compete with the idea of turning it into a massive clerical state but I don't think that it would have to turn to religion. I'd like to just see power returned to a government separate from big business. It would require one of the major corporations to deviate from the norm, but that is easily possible through the inheritance of a disaffected son/daughter. With the proper backing, it would make for an interesting political forum as bribes, violence and the will of the people would all come into light. I can't really use religion as I only know about it through history, being an Agnostic, myself.

That could easily be the reason the country separated from your own region or whatever reigning government was in place. With the #1 corporation moving away from government, it would take others away too while also creating an opposing and violent faction. The country would be split into no less than three parties vying for political control while at the same time there would undoubtedly be a cultural revolution in the making. Hardship and newfound success would make for interesting PR inserts as well as how it would affect gang warfare, the black market, and the common citizen.

hmm, I like that idea as well, I'm going to run the auction untill 6 am, EST, and make my desision then and there. If you come up with further ideas, post them here, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

One of the bases of the Church is the expansion and collection of knowledge. I've been thinking of creating a massive university system from which degree-seeking students from all over the world could come and learn. Furthermore, Angelus has been compiling an absolutely staggering library, and something else I had in mind was to finally allow outside access to it.*
*
Mizuna would not just become a Theocracy, but become a cultural nation filled with priests, students, and the best teachers in all fields of study. Business relations have already been proven to be a forté of the people of Mizuna, and now they would be given the chance to share that genius.
*
The governing body would be shifted to better reflect the actions of its people, becoming more of a centralized control point in the form of a council made up of four parts. Each part would be allowed 13 representatives from the four major parts of the population: the clerics, the teachers, the students, and the general populous. One of the Thirteen would be the main speaker for that particular section, and these Four would make up the Executive branch of the government.

Bump for more ideas.

And the winner is, Angelus, the PW has been TGed to you, enjoy.

I hope that I can live up to the expectations held for me.
