How do you get a country onto "anarchy"? I have abolished prisons, legalised burning and been generally very libertarian, but it's always on either "civil rights lovefest" or "left-wing utopia".

You need to be libertarian in al three measurements. Your 'anti-business politics' (quoted from your nation's page) are probably the problem here.

Ballotonia

I think you're wrong Ballotonia a nation with very high civil and political freedoms and also a good economy would be "Capitalizt". Sorry if I'm wrong, I haven't looked much into how to get to certain governments.

You could ask Letila (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Letila) don't wine if he tells you to go way, it's not my fault. He used to have an Anarchy and is now Left-Wing Utopia, he changed on porpouse so I'm sure he knows how to do it.

No, Ballotonia is right. You need very high Civil Rights, Political Freedoms, AND economy.

I have several countries that are anarchies ;)

You need high Civil Rights, Political Freedoms, and Economic Freedoms. Anarchy is like Capitalizt, but needs more Political Freedoms. As anyone who's read Jennifer Government will no doubt be aware.

That seems a little strange. Anarchists have always been anti-capitalist. I'd have thought abolishing capitalism and being all environmental would have lead to anarchy. It's certainly what Godwin, Bakunin, Stirner, etc. wanted. Or do you Americans talk about "anarcho-capitalism" in these circumstances? It's seems strange how political terms are used differently across the Atlantic. Like the way the word "liberal" is used - all European politicians would be happy to be called "liberal" in one sense or another, as being "illiberal" is associated with dictatorship, human rights abuse, etc.

Thanks anyway. May do that, but may not, as having a strong economy in Harehills - one of the slummiest parts of Leeds - seems a little weird.

Well depending on whom you ask, being conservative is associated with dictatorship, lack of civil rights etc. too.
