what type of government do you have? Democracy or dictatorship?

In NS or the real world?

We talking real life? Because America is a democracy unless you get in Bush's way.

not real world, nation states

DICTATORSHIP. The only real path to efficiency.

(In reality I think Dictatorships are a terrible idea - inefficiency is better than risking a lifetime of subservience to a psychopath)

BTW, any thoughts of making this a poll?

Good idea. Make a sixth thread on the same topic.

Democracy. Anyone who says otherwise is either insane or an agit-prop from our many enemies. Matters not which... :mp5:

So did you hear about those elections later this year? Also, I'm told there are ones in 2008.

Anarchy for me. Many heads are better than a couple of dicks.

My country is a mix of Democracy&Communism i see the pro's and cons of all systems.

Don't believe the hype ;)

Check out Lord of the Flies.

Check out Lord of the Flies.No need to. Read the book & saw the movie. Movie sucked & the book was horribly written. Nice story though.

Anyway, why do you bring that up? - If it's to do with me promoting anarchy, perhaps you should look up what anarchism actually is. Because despotism isn't it ;)

My nation would be a benevolent Monarchy that provides law and order, allowing people to go on freely with their lives so long as they do so peacefully.

I was experimenting & have changed it from a Scandinavian Paradise, to a Father Knows Best dictatorship.

Autocracy definately. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but most people are not great whizzes at statecraft(I think all these wakoes on NS are proof of that). That's where leaders come in.

I'd also like to ask why some people think being a dictator automatically makes you psycotic?

RB's a dictatorship.

Mine is a democracy! They rule.

Democracy it is

It's labeled, as a father knows best state and that is sort of fitting.

It's a Fascist Republic. A strong executive branch with no single leader. A weak judicial requiring congressional approval to act. And a three-house legislature with one house made up of something similar to unions, the second being composed of regionally elected senators and the other house being composed of business leaders. Population only elects two houses of congress and the executive branch is chosen by the houses

It’s a largely economically concerned state.

Democratic paradise.

Not only are people free to think for themselves, but they are also strictly instructed on what to think.

It's pot luck. Maybe you'll get a benevolent dictator, but even if he doesn't let power go to his head, one of his successors will.

And my NS country is a democracy, balancing between some right-wing morality and a strong desire for freedom.

mine is a benevolent dictatorship. They do what i think is right. My will be done..... just look at Julius Ceasar he was a dictator who wasn't psyco.

Nominal democracy, operative dictatorship.
