It's a simple question, yes or no really, but I'm sure there's room for discussion somehow.

Despite the state of disarray of my nation, I would love to swing by Abdeus, even if to be killed by an oppressive druglord.

Since I have the power to manipulate policies, of course I would! My nation reflects my opinion on issues, generally. Except when you have to choose between one or two extremes.....I hate that :mad:

Other than the rather high taxes, yes, I would love to live in my NS nation. However, I have a clone which would be even better, since it's very similar, but only has a 4% tax rate. :D

Aboslutely. Great political freedoms, great civil rights, a powerful economy (2.9% unemployment, $37,500 per capita) and, best of all, a 3% tax rate. For a hardcore capitalist, it's heaven.

Not at the moment, no. Maybe in one of my others, but not this one.

Czardas? Totally. Uber-cool, environmentally stunning civil rights paradise where the people govern themselves and have discussions over laws proposed by a council on a forum much like this one. The whole country is wired, too. What more can you ask for? ;)

I would say I would.
98% tax is a bit much though. Ahh, the price you pay.
Check it out.

If Rammsteinburg was a real nation, I'd definitely be living there.

Sino is almost my version of Utopia. Critics call it a case of "Nazi China meets Uncle Sam", I couldn't agree more.

This just proves what I've always suspected...most people create nations they'd like to live in. :)

I'd rather not.

I've got a second nation - North Pangea - which I wouldn't want to live in...

no

i like the politics and economy just fine but there are way too many people for my taste

This just proves what I've always suspected...most people create nations they'd like to live in. :)

In-f*ckin'-deed!

Sure. It's as similar to the U.S. as I could get it.

Hells yeah, I would love to live in my nation, Superb civil rights, Superb Political Freedoms, a Good economy (not uber-powerful, but it's good enough). It'd be kick ass!

Sure. It's as similar to the U.S. as I could get it.
You know what...you lack imagination. ;)

Well it's a Civil Rights Lovefest, so yeah, I'm there. Mmmm.... Lovefest...... :fluffle:

Of course I'd like to live in Potaria. Everybody is friendly, there's no crime whatsoever (one of the reasons is because nobody goes hungry or without money), and it's plenty large. Oh, and total separation of church and state, with churches that turn a profit being taxed like every other business.

Freedom. Environmental responsibility. Ease of life.

Potaria. No person within its borders will go hungry or without a home.

Are you flippen kidding me? Would you want to live in an oppressive nation in which the only culture revolves around an oppressive religion and the government is directly run by corporations and a slightly deranged overlord? I wouldn’t.

However, I would want to live in my FT puppet of Ihrentan, where the small government stays out of peoples lives, unfettered capitalism is the norm, political rights are excellent, and taxes are low.

Well it's a Civil Rights Lovefest, so yeah, I'm there. Mmmm.... Lovefest...... :fluffle:I'm also a Civil Rights Lovefest and I never really thought of it that way... :eek:

I forgot about my Tax Rate. 96%. Not so good. Maybe I wouldn't. But the Lovefest is so tempting.

Oh, sure, I'd love to live in my nation. It's a Left-Wing Utopia of 2.158 billion folks and crime is totally unknown. No reason given, it just says "Crime is totally unknown".

That, and I'm ranked 489th in the world for most rebellious youth. That means we got good music, too. :D Booyah!

Hell yeah

same here, there's no way I'd want to live in Achtung 45, but my other more communist nation, I'd like to try it out for a bit! :D

I forgot about my Tax Rate. 96%. Not so good. Maybe I wouldn't. But the Lovefest is so tempting.58%. Oh yeah, I rock. :p

(This is no Gameplay-related dick measuring, Czardas! I have to remember that! :headbang: )

you joined last year and you're already at that population? shiiiiiiit, I really regret trashing my first nations, now. I started those like two years ago!

58%. Oh yeah, I rock. :p

*whips out meter stick*

2% guys. You can't possibly beat that.

Heh..."beat"....:D

I think I created the nation in May, but didn't join the forums until July. I can't really remember. There used to be a way of finding out.

I specifically created Maineiacs to be the kind of place I'd like to live in. I have another nation, though that I made just for kicks to be the exact opposite.

That post is so sexual it's not even funny. Well it is, but it isn't. Hell, it hilarious.

No, I'm pretty sure if you got here before the Jolt move then your join date = your forum join date = that join date under your name.

you joined last year and you're already at that population? shiiiiiiit, I really regret trashing my first nations, now. I started those like two years ago!It takes exactly 1 year of continuous activity to get to 2 billion pop. as you may have noticed. :)

This I've never really got: they say that issues don't affect your population, yet there are immigration issues and overpopulation issues...I created 2 nations on the same day. One has a population of 502 million (I can finally submit issues!! hell yeah!!!) and the other has a population of 484 million. How did this happen? I swear I created them on the same day!

Ooooo. Radioactive, glowing scarecrow head.

hmm, cuz on the lower pop one (my semi-serious one) I was like "overpopulation = bad" so when it wasn't growing as fast as the other one I was like "sweet! it's working." Then when I read that issues don't affect population I was like "wtf?"

Only if I'm in charge. :)

I'd rather not.

I can see why not... :)

i love my nation :) :p :fluffle:

Lol. I'm the emperor! Why not?

If I was a citizen, yes. I try to make Dragons Bay really democratic and free, and the puppets really bad. Lol. The only bad thing would be the 100% income tax rate, and I'm trying to get rid of that.

Of course I'd like to live in Potaria. Everybody is friendly, there's no crime whatsoever (one of the reasons is because nobody goes hungry or without money), and it's plenty large.

Potaria. No person within its borders will go hungry or without a home.
With income taxed at 100% and an economy teetering on the brink of total disaster, I'll wager.

Lord no, My nation is a living hell. Just look at it!
really, i was trying to make a cyberpunk (if you don't know about this genre, then you are missing out like crazy) nation, and, I think I succeded.
I have 2 other nations (not breaking any rules, mind you)
one is a capitalist paradise, and the other , *worships* nuclear technology, and preaches that the end must come in a "glowing nuclear rapture"....

heheheheh.... i'm not really evil, but it certainly is fun to act that way...
walk that fine line of "is he joking" and whatnot...

With income taxed at 100% and an economy teetering on the brink of total disaster, I'll wager.Sounds like my country :D And the citizens don't get any power to change it. In return, they have free health care, a healthy environment, and an education worth its weight in gold.

Yeah, I'd like to live in one of my two nations, although I've been trying to lower Taxation in Patra Caesar and so far have managed to reduce it by 55% until it sprang up 8%. In my puppet however the economy is All-Consuming rather than Frightening and tax is a flat 3% because of the introduction of powerful local councils.

Sounds like my country :D And the citizens don't get any power to change it. In return, they have free health care, a healthy environment, and an education worth its weight in gold.



Bah, my country has all that, and a Good economy! :p



My country has some improvements to make, but only because I have'nt recieved those specific issues yet, but overall, Letokia is my dream country.


It has Superb Civil Rights, Superb Political Rights, and a Good Economy.


Next on the wishlist of wanted improvements: Compulsory Gun Ownership!

Power to the people! :D :mp5: :sniper: :gundge:

Yee-ha!

Yee-ha!Pah, in my opinion, the benevolent dictatorship is the best utopian form of government. Get one person in charge that knows how to do things right and let him get things done.
Pity that there's no such person and there never will be.

yeah i would but, i have a question


who would lead it, i dont get it, if I'm the leader and i live there not lead it how would it still be the same?

ye..*stares at income tax* (100%)

No.

Sounds like my country :D And the citizens don't get any power to change it. In return, they have free health care, a healthy environment, and an education worth its weight in gold.
"Big Brother will take care of you from cradle to grave and all you have to do is give up your freedom and keep your mouth shut!"

Hmmm. Seems I've heard that somewhere before. :)

"Big Brother will take care of you from cradle to grave and all you have to do is give up your freedom and keep your mouth shut!"

Hmmm. Seems I've heard that somewhere before. :)That's why it's utopian. A proper benevolent dictatorship is impossible...

Maybe I would live in my nation when I get that whole "corrupt dictatorship" thing fixed.

No, my nation is the exact oppersit of my own opinions.

Pah, in my opinion, the benevolent dictatorship is the best utopian form of government. Get one person in charge that knows how to do things right and let him get things done.
Pity that there's no such person and there never will be.

That's because you're the benevolent dictator. I think there might be such rule in the south pacific...

As it runs the way I tell it to....you bet I would.

Even though my tax rate is 100%, I'd still like to live in my country. The rate's most likely to decrease in time anyway, give it time.

Hell noez. My people are my playthings.

It's a simple question, yes or no really, but I'm sure there's room for discussion somehow.

I think it's a brilliant question. A player can impose any value set on the development of a nation, to the point of reckless abuse, without consequence. It's only a game. The poll makes for an interesting factoid.

In my nation you wouldnt be able to walk, talk, look, sit or move if you did you would be shot or imprisoned for life

Do business in my nation and region. Yes,

But as to where I'll settle down and raise my kids, no.

I'm the Ard Re (High King) of Celtlund. I created it, why wouldn't I wan to live there?

Of course, my nation is the definition of a full working unicameral European Republic with Imperial Rosian Republics.

In short, we're a Democratic British Empire. Oh, and I get to be Grand Chancellor too, fancy titles are fun. But as a citizen... I'm not paying the taxes.

As a citizen of my nation? I would not want to live there. The civil rights are outstanding and the economy is good but the goverment is communist and would hate to live under a communist nation.

Heck yes. The best thing about Ravea is it's stunning landscapes and the fact that the people there are too lazy too cause much violence.

As for govenment and such...

Think Switzerland.

Yes I would, my nation is a libertarian socialist powerhouse, with a huge economy ($42,561.20 per capita), low unemployment (2.56%) and a nice, clean enviroment.

The CISR is a great place to live, join a commune or start a family.

Aboslutely. Great political freedoms, great civil rights, a powerful economy (2.9% unemployment, $37,500 per capita) and, best of all, a 3% tax rate. For a hardcore capitalist, it's heaven.

How do you find that shit out?

I'm a big fan of my nation, too. Wish I could look up those kind of specifics.

If Rammsteinburg was a real nation, I'd definitely be living there.

Hey man is that a reference to the kick ass rock and roll band?

No. It's a horrible place (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=ilkathia).

Sure, if I could speak, write, and understand Lanida...Nianacio has a powerful economy, little crime, high levels of freedom, low taxes, and probably any climate I might feel like. Also, the "progressive social policies in education and welfare" my nation page talks about are homeschooling and voluntarily getting money to needy people. Oh, and Nianacio has a fairly stable currency; you can trade in your bills for somewhat less than face value in metals (not necessarily particularly valuable ones). On the other hand, the average person in Nianacio is only about five feet tall...Living in a nation built for 5' people could be difficult.

Only if I get to be the Emperor or a high ranking member of the government (a Magistrate of something) would I agree to live in Colerica.

Yep, a cricketing paradise with a pristine environment.

my nation is how i invision new zealand with a governing coalition of the modern greens and the communist party of the 1920s

it is based upon principles of freedom and equality for the collective individuals at the cost of the corporatians. and a devotion to maintaining the environment as we recieved it from the previous generation, and improving it for the next generation.

I voted yes, but only if I am still in charge.:D

Warta Endor is a lovely place to live! To bad the taxrates are a bit high :( But I got free healthcare and education which also is at a high standard.

Yeah I'd love to live in my nation- no economic exploitation, no fascists, no environmental destruction, plenty of civil rights and plenty of political rights

Originally, I formed my nation after my own ideals, and it developed into something like a mixture between Canada and Marx's idea of a communist society, only with a better environment and education system. I'm trying to shift it to a capitalist nation; but currently it's an anarchy. I wouldn't want to live there right now, but perhaps half a year ago it was my idea of paradise.

I think I'd like to live in the Grand Republic. I mean, it has a 100% tax rate, and the education system has about $5 for each pupil. Oh, and healthcare isn't exactly hot, and the military practically rules the country, meaning I'd be drafted randomly once I lived there. And the place is kinda a dump at times...

So, maybe not, after all...
