The Scale of Insanity and Political Pragmatism

The Chemical Lords of Jenrak is currently creating a 'ruler' of nations with the amount of leaders and their political alignment. However, instead of viewing economic and military views (as we have done so for so long), we intend to view the mentality and the length of extremity in the pragmatist views for the nations’ current leaders. The scale would be associated on a vague (but simple) scale of -10 to 10, dictating how insane a nation’s rulers would be. To place an example, Arborgard the Twelfth, the Lord of Sadism in Jenrak, would be placed at 8 in the insanity of his rule. To support such condescending assumptions, he has been responsible for entire towns wiped out, certain species of animals and races of certain unique people purged, and the never ending support for cannibalism and chemical weaponry. Another example would be such as Hitler, who would pose a threatening 8 as well. A nation with the scale of +10 would be insufficient to properly rule a country.

To find out the balance of your nation here, post what your civil rights are, and whatever laws you have in place. Also note any racial activities, refugee supports, and any other things your nation supposedly does. Then, we shall evaluate and see what extremity you are ranked upon. The higher the number, the more insane and erratic actions are preformed by your leader. The lower your number, the lesser insane and erratic those actions are. A +10 leader is nearly impossible, as the nation would crumble under certain civil uprising almost instantly, and a -10 leader would be nearly impossible as well, as they would be viewed in everyone’s eyes as the perfect civil rights promoter.

Example:

Name: The Chemical Lords of Jenrak.
Civil Rights: Unheard of
Notes: Highly racial, oppressive, slaughters criminals for entertainment, known to command forces to kidnap entire armies of civilians for chemical testing, despises democracy, and has no care for military losses

MassPwnage

Name: The Heavily Armed Hippies of MassPwnage
Civil Rights: "Excellent"
Notes: Despises democracy, although otherwise like a hippie paradise... except to other people. Its soldiers behave like a mongol horde, building pyramids of skulls hundreds of feet high, torturing, murdering, raping and looting as they along.
Huntaer
22-04-2005, 23:12
Name: The Galactic Empire of Huntaer
Civil Rights: Few
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Note:

The Galactic Empire of Huntaer was risen when the Kirtir nearly wiped out the Malkir (100,000 to 20). They repress their people, no one can speak out against the goverenment without being tourchered. It's rulers, specifically the Kirtir Lords and Darths, are well known for being impacient, and unforgiving. They tourcher people with the force in any way or form to get the information they want. They are known for blowing up planets just too keep the systems in line.
The Evil Overlord

The Dominion of the Evil overlord

Civil Rights= Some
Political Freedoms= Outlawed

Everyone and everything in the Dominion is considered an asset of Evil Overlord Enterprises- the corporation in the term CORPORATE POLICE STATE. The senior corporate officers of EOE are also the heads of the various government ministries.

EOE treats everyone equally. There are no laws regarding marriage, homosexuality, religion, etc. However, there are a great many laws regarding political activity (penalties range from banishment to death- depending on the type of activity) and State Security. A surprising number of activities fall under the mantle of State Security.

All public areas are monitored by computer-controlled cameras (and other sensors), citizen/shareholders are implanted with passive RFID chips, there are no private vehicles of any sort, no one but the military owns or carries weapons, and many so-called human rights are non-existent. Despite all that, the EOE Citizen/Shareholders enjoy a great deal of personal liberty. All citizen/shareholders are encouraged to report errors, inaccuracies, and inefficiencies on the ubiquitous government computer network. Suggestions for improvements are also encouraged, and any citizen/shareholder who makes a suggestion that improves efficiency or profitablility can earn promotions, monetary rewards, and paid vacations.

The Overlord's military forces are supremely well-quipped and trained, but are rarely used. Despite the Dominion's disdain for International Law, EOE troops follow rules of conduct roughly analogous to the so-called Geneva Conventions. The Dominion routinely interferes when other nations attempt to block international shipping lanes or engage in reckless military adventures in the Overlord's sphere of influence. The Dominion also recently became a member of the Union of World Powers, whose Charter requires that member nations promote trade and international security.

Despite his title, the Overlord's actions (and those of his underlings) are terrifyingly rational. The overriding concern of the Dominion is profit. Anything and anyone that makes the pursuit of profit more difficult (such as war, unnecessary military adventures, etc) is not appreciated, and gets dealt with accordingly. Many nations have wondered why the Evil overlord regularly gets involved in humanitarian relief missions and engages in actions which promote peace and trade, but no one has yet discovered a reason for it.
The Island of Rose
23-04-2005, 00:03
Name: The Imperial Commonwealth of The Island of Rose, Imperial President Frederick von Hattensberg
Civil Rights: Excellent
Political Freedoms: Excellent

Note: He is currently turning the Island into an Empire and he revised the system of Government to suit it. He is slowly turning the Island into a corporate power and is slowly making the Island more independent from trade. And yes, he leaves the people do what they will and is one of the good guys.

OOC: Bump and Updated. Evil Overlord, I gave you a two because being geared towards profitable ends doesn't seem very crazy thing, so I've given you a two. Huntaer, knocking out entire planets is a mental problem, so I gave you an 8. MassPwnage, your country seems good in nature, but the Mongol Horde War reaction is seriously a problem, so you're a 5. The Island of Rose, you're well known as one of the good guys, so technically you're a 9.
