NationStates Jolt Archive

Here's the link to my nation's page (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=ssgx), to verify the following quote, but by the time people might view it, it may very well have changed... So, I wanted to quote its current status, because I am very proud of it...

The Free Land of SSGX
"Rock the Dragon..."

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Superb

Location: The North Pacific
The Free Land of SSGX is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 574 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 56%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, citizens must pay to enjoy SSGX's pristine beaches, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSGX's national animal is the Eternal Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Zenni.

SSGX is ranked 1734th in the region and 41,809th in the world for Largest Mining Sector.

I'm poud because I've been able to follow my views, and it has molded into a very successful nation... In fact, the only problem I see is the rather high tax rate (an unfortunate side-effect of giving the people what they want, at a cost to them...lol)

It has remained at that UN Category for almost the entire duration... It was assigned that at "birth", and only veered into something else (I forget what now) once for a brief time before I was able to put it back on track...

My most recent triumph is the environmental restoration... Some of my early choices boosted my economy at the expense of the environment, and things were looking pretty bad for a lengthy span of time... Just within the last few days has it finally gotten back to the lush state that I desire...

Another recent improvement is to the economy... My earlier decisions were mostly focused on personal freedoms... Unfortunately, some of these decisions are not economically strong... So, I've recently had to take some measures to boost the economy, and things have turned out well, without sacrificing the other two categories (in fact, they've also been improved over the usual)...

All in all, this is exactly how I'd run a nation in real life (or how I'd like my own to be run), and I'm glad I've been able to put my views into practice and come out with a more than acceptable result... Of course, the complexities of real life as opposed to those of NationStates would mean a vastly more difficult time of governing a real nation in this way, but in theory, it could be done relatively as I have here...

Also, I know this topic might fit better in one of the other forums, but it seemed to me that the forum that it fits best under isn't very active... I wanted this to be seen...lol

Anyone else have a proud snapshot of their nation to share?

Anyone else have a proud snapshot of their nation to share?
Grr, I've been trying to turn my nation anarchist for the entire time I've been here, and I'm only just barely getting closer by now.
:(
So no, no proud snapshot for me.

I'm still managing my nation. It'll still be a while before I get it right, that's for sure... :/

Grr, I've been trying to turn my nation anarchist for the entire time I've been here, and I'm only just barely getting closer by now.

So no, no proud snapshot for me.
I've been there. Just start choosing the "ban nothing" options

I've been there. Just start choosing the "ban nothing" options
My problem is that for the longest time, whenever I increased economy, my other two freedoms would drop, and when I increased them, my economy would drop. Now I think I know which issues to ignore though, so it's just a matter of time now...
*plots*

Here is a "proud snapshot". I'm trying to make my nation extremely weird and somewhat "good" at the same time. I'm far from finished with it, but I have come quite far, I think:

The Holy Empire of Divine Imaginary Fluff
"Laugh insanely and watch out for screaming carrots!"

UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights:
Good Economy:
Thriving Political Freedoms:
Outlawed
Location: The Black Tower

The Holy Empire of Divine Imaginary Fluff is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 504 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 100%. A large private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

There are no minimum wage laws, graffiti graces every city's streets, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divine Imaginary Fluff's national animal is the average idiot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fluffy.

My country has gone from being a leftwing utopia to being a Scandinavian liberal paradse. :( I liked being a leftwing utopia!

The Federation of New Fuglies
"Power to teh sheeple!"


UN Category: Capitalizt
Civil Rights:Superb
Economy:All-Consuming
Political Freedoms:Very Good

Location: the West Pacific

The Federation of New Fuglies is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.993 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, pro-business morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Fuglies's national animal is the moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Loonie.

New Fuglies is ranked 188th in the region and 8,837th in the world for Rudest Citizens.

Mine's pretty mundane but will hit 2 billion population tomorrow. :D

What the hell... Here goes.

UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
Civil Rights: World Benchmark
Economy: Basket Case
Political Freedoms: Excellent

The Free Land of Preebles is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 845 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Preebles's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the flooble.

Preebles is ranked 34th in the region and 122,109th in the world for Rudest Citizens.

My citizens are stark naked. :D

"Scrub the decks of the seven seas"


UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights:Good
Economy:Powerhouse
Political Freedoms:Below Average

Location: Paradise Beach
The Stranded Bunch of Legless Pirates is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.307 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 28%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, citizens must pay to enjoy Legless Pirates's pristine beaches, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime is pervasive, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Legless Pirates's national animal is the parrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the money.

Legless Pirates is ranked 3rd in the region and 4,228th in the world for Rudest Citizens.
Err.... My parrots frolic? :confused:

What the hell... Here goes.



My citizens are stark naked. :D

And you won't get any of that "morals" bullshit in the Land of Preebles. :D

Civil Rights: Some
Economy:Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Some

The Holy Empire of ProMonkians is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare.

People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 99%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ProMonkians's national animal is the pawless monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the monkey paw.

ProMonkians is ranked 158th in the region and 17,850th in the world for Rudest Citizens.

UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Rare
Location: Deneb

The United Planets of The Plutonian Empire is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 613 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 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.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, students in The Plutonian Empire's schools rarely attend their classes, anti-government web sites are springing up, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region.
