LOL. Sounds like me. Although sometimes when I'm really bored I answer my 5 issues.

I think I'm a Capitalist Paradise now, but I've seen it all

Yes it is okay

The People's Republic of Wildwolfden is a very large, devout nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 187 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15%. A healthy private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, Wildwolfden's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime is a serious problem. Wildwolfden's national animal is the Wolf and its currency is the Howl.

Wildwolfden is ranked 5678th in the region and 88,103rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).

I'm pretty happy with my country - it always scores highly on things like happiness, smartness and health of population, and that's what matters to me.

Could be better. I'm learning the ropes.

I stoped paying attention to my nation ages ago. I haven't done issues in months.
i did that... then i actually did some issues and it turned me overnight from democratic socialists (which i like) to an innoffensive centrist democracy :headbang:

I keep getting issues with a crappy choices. I'm constantly choosing. None of the above by simply dismissing the issues. I want my nation to be a all powerfull seculer paradise but it isn't.

Heh, I just managed to hold myself back in the other thread, but since you insist, I'd like to point out that you managed to forever spoil for me the cuteness factor of the expression "happy as a bug in a rug" by applying it to a Capitalist Paradise. :p

As for my nation, yeah I like it, although I seem to be stuck at Democratic Socialists, left to cast envious glances at those in the region with Left-Wing Utopias and a thriving economy.

I oppress the people and make loads of money. Yeah, we're doing ok.

Although I only look at it any more to keep it from getting deleted for inactivity.

Heh, yes, no envious glances to cast in your direction these days, PM. ;)

One thing I really like ( thus far ) is how every stance that doesn't actually DO something, economically, leads to nothing but
-goverment waste
-admin costs
-taxincreases.

Which conforms perfectly with my political outlook.
I dismiss most issues alltogether.

Left Wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Superb

Yeah, i'd say it turned out pretty well.

I'm trying to avoid the 100% tax, because as much as I don't mind high taxes, 100% just seems... utterly ridiculous.

At the same time, I am trying to avoid becoming the psychotic dictatorship I became last time. So far, successful, I am a socialist democracy.

These two things are hard enough and sometimes, issues just have to dismissed.

As for my nation, yeah I like it, although I seem to be stuck at Democratic Socialists, left to cast envious glances at those in the region with Left-Wing Utopias and a thriving economy.

Yeah, it's hard :/ NationStates is biased against socialists/communists on economical scale... and if you take care of the environement too, you're doomed :/

But the economy isn't the most important ;) My people are intelligent, compassionate, enjoy a lot of freedoms, wonderful environement, have education and healthcare, and no one is left aside... that's great =)

I would like to be Left-Wing Utopia ;) but my anti-guns sentence and a few others always step me back to "Democratic Socalists".

*grin* I'm really looking forward to creating a few other states, with highly different philosophies, and try to make them into economical powerhouses as well. Without spoiling their ideology, of course.

I don't really believe there is such a thing as a good or bad ideology - it's just how the great manager uses the tools at hand.

A nazi-state run by Abe Lincoln would, imho, be a nicer place to live in than a left-leaning college state run by Vlad the Impaler.

Yeah, I'd say things are progressing nicely.

Yeah, but imagine if your country had a leader named "Vlad the imapler" in this day and age. It would just make you so proud.

i did that... then i actually did some issues and it turned me overnight from democratic socialists (which i like) to an innoffensive centrist democracy :headbang:

Awww poor nation ! Save it ! ;)

I managed to hit Benevolent Dictatorship for a while, but then I fell back down to Libertarian Police State, Compulsory Consumerist State (But how?), and now Father Knows Best. Hmph.
I'd like to change the name, really, but that's all.

Darn! Perhaps the next tweak of the game will support such things as goofy titles and funny names for leaders! It would be great :)

*looks forward to naming his leader as:*
His Most Christian and Apostolic Imperial and Royal Highness Volodya the Babycrusher

Heh, yes, no envious glances to cast in your direction these days, PM. ;)
waah! *cries*

i hate my nation now :(
but i do have a pretty good economy and - whether my UN category says it or not - i'm still damn socialist with pretty good equality and communism :)

Cheer up, comrade ! ;)

You can cure your nation ;) It happened to me once to fallback to "Innofensive Centrist Democracy", but I recovered from it ! Good luck !

The Shackled Land of Corruptropolis is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.143 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and the Environment are secondary priorities. 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 Arms Manufacturing.


Damn.... I want a corrupt dictatorship!

EDIT: Whoops, forgot http://nstracker.retrogade.com/index.php?nation=Corruptropolis

Cheer up, comrade ! ;)

i've been trying! stupid thing seems stuck! :mad:

thanks for the encouragement, but what really matters is that i know in my head my nation is a nice socialist paradise, so i'm happy :P

I'm trying to get the number one military in the world. I'm at 20 something now, so it's coming along.

but i'd like to be a civil rights love fest again, that was cool. back then i had a 'good' economic rating and a 'superb' in political freedoms. but i'll get it back, eventually.

and comparing the nations with that tracker is great!

I'm amusing myself with making an Environmental-Educational-Socialist-Theocratic-Business-Hating-Unarmed-paradise. I really don't care how it turns out.

I chose "Could be better", but I definately know my philosophy and am not learning the ropes. It's just taking a while to switch my nation b/c my philosophy changed since I've had it.

I'd like taxes lower than 100% lol but I still want some taxes, and my Civil Rights to be World Benchmark again. As for the UN deal, Civil Rights Lovefest or NY Times Democracy are my preferred choices. And a bigger private sector, and more focus on Religion & Spirituality would be nice but there's only one New Age religious option (cabinet religious guy) out there so I'm kinda left hangin'

Tax: 38%

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and the people of Nili are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nili's national animal is the flying rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Zenti.

Oh yeah we rule.

Thus why I still amuse myself with it.

Phear!!!

I'm pretty pleased with my nation. It is annoying when I make a decision and my Nation is completely turned upside down but I normally have my ratings where I want them. Although, I've been stuck on "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy" for quite some time which is a pain in the arse.

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Income tax rate: 2%

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, euthanasia is legal, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime is a problem. Valori's national animal is the Tigre, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Valuta.

havent been doing this too long so it's still a novelty and i think its great!

well i regret my initial stance on law and order because criminals are running amok spoiling the damn serenity dammit and the cops are p***d off!

also, it would have been better if my country had an arable/dairy-based agricultural industry rather than beef based! but as this is the way it is, we'll deal with it. we've just voted to eat our national animal too,(3 toed sloth curry anyone?:D ) but only because we were already eating the poor cows!

My nation is causing me an assload of problems, by being so goddamn efficient. A Beaurocratic Monarchy should have massive admin costs, a sprawling budget, piles of money being wasted, and minimal effect on the populace.
Instead, I have this crappy Father Knows Best thing going on.
Damn you, Max Barry, damn you and your inaccurately optimistic depictions of big government!
And to make matters worse, there appears to be some ruffian out there utilizing a variant of my humble moniker. Or perhaps I made the nation of Fiddlebottoms and forgot about it, I am so very confused today.

careful.. found out the hard way, your nation goes bye-bye due to inactivity, you get auto banned from the NS Forums.


I still log in each day to check the regional board though. Not that anything ever happens on it.

It's not exactly where I want it. I keep getting issues I have dealt with many times before. It's sorta staying the same. Plus you gotta think.. Am I thinking about this nation as a person in it.. or the one ruling it? I tend to always go for a member of it. But on some things I just know I gotta do what I gotta do to make things right. Since what people want isn't always what's good for them. (From a line in one of the issues) QFT!

im quite happy. my country could use more whippings though.

Mines been Inoffensive Centrist Democracy from the beginning, which doesn't suprise me, considering every politically-themed test I take ends up centrist. I haven't decided if there's a direction I wanna take my country....

Holy shit. I have a nation!

The proud nation of New Rafnaland is pleased to report that it looks out for the best interests of her people.

Our beloved Marshal-National garauntees the free expression of all citizens!

Having said that I am shocked, simply shocked at the Unemployment Rate! Over a quarter of New Rafnaland's population is unemployed! At least I'm doing better than Palestine and France. That's all that counts, right?

i'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH MINE!
