sorry if this has been done before.

my nation's UN category is "Capitalizt." Is this an error or does it mean something special?

So's mine - or at least it was when I looked about an hour ago.

Consider it a special error. :lol:

What's wrong with capitalizism? It's great you should try it. :)

Nope.

Capitalizm was a potential title for Jennifer Government. Its the system/ society/ social model in the book, a mad extreme of capitalism. The police only prosecute those cases which are profitible, and the NRA can be hired for contract killings. The Global Market is a nation here who supports that kind of thing.

Also known as libertarianism.

The United States of Polyester Football doesn't support that kind of thing, but it has somehow managed to become such a thing.

Ah well. :?

Actually Libertarianism is a wide ranging philosophy that ignores economics. Libertarian Socialism and Stateless Communism are two types of it you might be interested in.

Not all Libertarianism is Libertarian Capitalism.

I've heard anarchism called libertarian socialism. They also addressed whether this was an oxymoron, but I didn't read that part.

Well thanks everyone (especially Spoffin :P)

If that's the case I kinda take offense.

My police most definately do not operate in a capitalizt manner. The idea that law enforcement should be profitable is ridiculous! I wish Nationstates would have given me an issue along the lines of "should law enforcement be profitable" before they decided to tag me with such a name.

..and hiring the NRA for contract killing? I have never once exchanged the integrity of my laws for a little cash. Hurting other people against their will is wrong.

For anyone who hates capitalism. Stop buying computers,cars,groceries,games, toys etc.....
Someday you will learn that Capitalism does a lot of good things.
And without it how will you pay your bills?

Khalimshann... I'm not even close to being a socialist, communist, or anything like that (nor am I a hardline conservative capitalist, though), but that argument made absolutely no sense on so many levels...

With non-capitalist money?

There are 27 UN catergories, keep on choosing the options you believe in in issues and you'll get something like what you want eventually I imagine. Just remember that there is a humourous slant to the game which means that your choices can have unexpected results.
