The Free and Equal People of Pure Metal is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 2.901 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

UN Category: Anarchy

The Free Land of Cana2 is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 201 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Commerce, with areas such as Defence and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Furniture Restoration.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cana2's national animal is the Macintosh Computers, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Widget.

The Insignificance of Monkeypimp is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.811 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Vegetarianism is compulsory, anti-environmentalist protesters are gunned down without mercy, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monkeypimp's national animal is the pimping monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Shingle.

Monkeypimp is ranked 1st in the region and 8,040th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.

The Imperial Dominion of Sdaeriji is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.17 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Commerce and Law & Order are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, the government seizes all major gold finds, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Sdaeriji's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the denarius.

The Confederacy of Harlesburg is a massive, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 2.125 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Law & Order, and Education. 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.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Dollar mansions, abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving industries.

A survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, gun ownership is compulsory, the adult unemployment rate nears 100% as all available jobs have been filled by young children, and the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Ridiculously Rich's national animal is the poor person, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the solid gold toilet seat.

There are threads (alas, I know not where!) discussing this peculiarity in gameplay, I think. The impression I got was that WA doesn't exist for CR, though it nominally is the highest level.

Voting has become a nightmare since everyone keeps selecting "None of the above", the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments.

I believe so. The wiki might be wrong, but it doesn't make much sense for it to be.

The Drunken Mosh Pit of Potaria
========================

Population: 1,182,000,000

Civil Rights: Excellent

Economy: Strong

Political Freedoms: Excellent

The Drunken Mosh Pit of Potaria is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.182 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. 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.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and the Potaria Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown. Potaria's national animal is the Mall Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Beer Can.

Potaria is ranked 1st in the region and 7,092nd in the world for Healthiest Nations.

I'd say I'm doing alright at this point. I love it how Law & Order gets no funding whatsoever, yet there's literally no crime. Oh, and nobody has a better flag!

Damn you for showing up my nation as woefully inadequate! :p

Your economy does not function normally due to strong pressures on the capital markets to withdraw their resources and flee the nation. Stability has been restored, but your nation's trade options are now limited. Try lowering your tax rate or improving your economy. :( :(

Oh well, here´s me:

The Empire of Sonaj is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 641 million 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, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 57%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Vile black smog from coal power plants envelops several major urban centers, Sonaj's army is full of 2 metre tall super-soldiers, organ donation is compulsory, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Sonaj's national animal is the tree-hugging friends, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Santo.

The Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia
"Honor virutis preamium."

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: All-Consuming
Political Freedoms: Very Good

The Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 501 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Halberdgardia's pristine beaches, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Halberdgardia's border. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Halberdgardia's national animal is the Halberdgardian falcon and its currency is the dollar.

Halberdgardia is ranked 3rd in the region and 46,264th in the world for Healthiest Nations.

The Corporate Empire of Vetalia

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights:Average
Economy:Frightening
Political Freedoms:Some

The Corporate Empire of Vetalia is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 824 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vetalia's national animal is the Gold Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the New Denarius.

So, is a 'frightening' economy frighteningly bad or good?

Wow... so close to Outlawed! I think I've hit it once or twice.

The Federation of Epsonee
"Democracy is the road to socialism. "

UN Category:Civil Rights Lovefest

The Federation of Epsonee is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 277 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be 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 the Environment, Social Welfare, and Education. 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.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Epsonee's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Marx.
