My beloved country of Risottia, after years (ok, months) of happy Democratic Socialist government... has been re-classified by the UN as Scandinavian Liberal Paradise!

I know I am forfeit. In a few minutes, the Political Officer is going to send me to Siberia.

:(

Damn.

;)

*checks*


Yep, still a corporate police state. My cushy job and loads of money coming directly from the blood of the workers continues. Yay!

Still as a massive, environmentally stunning Capitalist Paradise over here. Yipee.

I'm a Civil Rights Lovefest with a "Weak" economy yet a powerhouse of an Information Technology industry. :confused:

That is http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l3/mudflapsmartini/beautifulsparkles1vl.gif!
Too bad i ain't your Parole Officer because Harlesburg is the 382nd most compasionate nation in all of Nationstates.

But we are also a Father Knows Best State so do as i say or, i send you to the Gulags, but i'm so kind i'll ship you back...

On second thoughts i'll force march you back.:)
*Sigh i've got work tomorrow*

*checks*

Still an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy here...

Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Strong
Political Rights: Excellent

Flat income tax - 65%

Uranium Mining, Arms Production, Info. Tech. are primary economic sectors (I always go hawkish on military issues)

I've got a crime problem, but what do you expect in a nation of 4.598 billion people??? :p

I'm a Civil Rights Lovefest with a "Weak" economy yet a powerhouse of an Information Technology industry. :confused:I have a powerhouse a book publishing industry. Woo!

And I got you beat on the IT industry rankings - 1,573rd to 2,295th.

I turned into a civil rights lovefest yesterday... This cannot be. I must either be a left-leaning college state, anarchy or a benevolent dictatorship. Time to eliminate the political opposition me thinks.

Problems with nation - my citizens are hard nosed bastards. Tax is a little too high (I am a sucker for giving more money to education), too much bureaucracy, and youth-related crime is a little high.

The Insignificance of Monkeypimp is... Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.852 billion...

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 ...

HAIL CAPITALISM! My nation is pretty much the way I like it, although higher civil rights might be nicer. Taxes are a bit low- ideally they'd be unheard of but I need more money to buy weapons. You can never spend too much money on defence, after all. :) I also have progressive social policies in education and welfare, as well as social welfare being nonexistent. -.-

I don't have an all-pervasive police force...

...that's my problem! *smacks forehead* :p

Monkeypimp's national animal is the pimping monkey, which frolics freely ...Monkeypimp has an absurdly high tax rate though (100%). There's no crime because no one has anything that can be stolen. So it's not worth mugging people or anything like that. Drug crime isn'ta problem because no one has any money to buy them, etc...

That's not as much of a claim as it might first appear given that I'm three years younger than you, country wise. I'll catch up.

My original country of PIcaRDMPCia also has a 100% tax rate, regardless of how I answer issues to bring it down. I think the tax rate might actually be stuck at 100% once it gets there no matter what happens. Possibly a problem with the coding, or its intentional. I don't know. All I know is that it sticks there.

i don't care about my UN category. after all, UN officials are not allowed in Swilatia.

Left-wing utopia with a frightening economy. I win.

Left-wing utopia with a frightening economy. I win.
...I hate you.

Left-wing utopia with a frightening economy. I win.You lose at civil rights you fascist bastard. Harry potter is also a best seller. Your citizens lose at life.

Left-Leaning College State with a frightening economy AND no crime.

I am only 17,126th in the world for IT sector. However I am a Democratic Socialist so that goes well.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

My favourite though: UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the government pours millions of solisiis into rehabilitation programs annually, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and guns are banned. Crime is totally unknown. Soleichunn's national animal is the colossal squid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the solisii.

And yet my nation is still compassionate and enjoys social equality!

Though I do want to nationalise my private industry....

All I know is that it sticks there.No, I had a tax rate 100% once. I think the game calculates tax rates higher than 100%, but it still displays 100%. So for every rise in taxes after 100% you have to a cut. eg your first cut would take you from 230% to 210%.

You have also destroyed your landscape for the sake of a bit of uranium mining. You lose at economic sustainability. Your region will be underwater by 2020 due to global warming.

It will not, I assure you. (And stop monitoring my countries. You scare me with your monitoring...you NSA wiretapper you! :p )

You lose at civil rights you fascist bastard.

"meh"

Harry potter is also a best seller. Your citizens lose at life.

I would rather Harry Potter be a best seller than have the Christofascists decide what everyone reads. ;)

I brought mine down from over 100%.

Left Leaning College State

Civil Rights:
World Benchmark

Economy:
Frightening

Political Freedoms:
Excellent

I got no crime, a tax rate of 44% and am currently 5,815th for IT.

Anarchy. Just how I like it.. except for the rule by bikie gangs. That should be called 'degenocracy' or something...

I would rather Harry Potter be a best seller than have the Christofascists decide what everyone reads. ;)Harry Potter was a best seller in my country. I've just been able to hush that scandal up.

It will not, I assure you. (And stop monitoring my countries. You scare me with your monitoring...you NSA wiretapper you! :p )Muwhahahaha! I make ECHELON (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON) look like a kids play toy.

"meh"

Agreed. I'll have the Risottian Airship Commando paradropping hardbound copies of ALL Harry Potter books over those illiterate countries that have banned them. Books to the people!:D
