The Holy Republic of New Mandalore

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights:
Some
Economy:
Thriving
Political Freedoms:
Outlawed

The Holy Republic of New Mandalore is a very large, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 117 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Cheese Exports.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is moderate. New Mandalore's national animal is the 8 Legged Raxx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

New Mandalore is ranked 2nd in the region and 18,751st in the world for Largest Gambling Industry.

The Commonwealth of The Trinity Moons

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights:
Some Economy:
Very Strong
Political Freedoms:
Below Average


The Commonwealth of The Trinity Moons is a very large, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working population of 155 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Retail.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, untold millions of Credits are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, all news sources are under strict government control, and teenagers are sent to jail for being out too late. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Trinity Moons's national animal is the Blue Bellied Mammoth and its currency is the Credit.

The Trinity Moons is ranked 4th in the region and 39,035th in the world for Largest Gambling Industry.

I'd get verification with some of the older nations on the first though...

Second...anyone can bid...Minimum bids are posted above...

I've never heard of it being illegal, and last time I checked there was nothing in the One-Stop Rules Shop about it being illegal. I've given (not auctioned) over twenty puppets away, and Cog ruled it legal as I recall.

Though there is a warning about taking nations from other people because you get an warnings that were on that nation when the other person was using it. Something to consider.

Nah... That way whoever purchases them can then decide there layouts...
The Trinity Moons is FT & a UN Delegate (Take this into account when purchasing and if your nation is in the UN)

I created New Mandalore...as a semi autonomous region...based on one of the issues thingy's


Yes, please tell us where these countries are in the world.

The Trinity Moons is not based here on Earth though it did have several consulates here...Can't remember what my friend did with the info on them..
Mining commitments w/ Mandalore Prime (My Main Nation) on several newly discovered plantoids in the Sol Sector...
*3 Planetoids were actually discovered in the near vicinity of Pluto to Uranus...all 3 are slightly larger then Pluto...So they are currently debating on whether or not to officially recognize them

I originally had New Mandalore to the south of my Main Nation...Though the new owner can basically put it whereever he/she wants...

New Mandalore: Open Plains...Very Industrious, Uranium Mining...Bordered on the south by Mountains...Highest point is where the Capitol City was constructed around...The summit & the mountain are a high tech Military base & Leader's Palace...2 Inlets...The largest is where the 2nd largest city is...Bustling Port...The slightly smaller is a secret Naval facility...safely hold 3 CBG's

Highest bid to date...
