At last, freedom!

Everyone must join this (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/-1/page=display_region/region=free_trade_zone) region. It's so hip.

I'm going to have some kind of stock exchange type thing eventually. And a forum and website, of COURSE. Not yet though. Right now it's time to see if there actually ARE capitalists in NS! (Who arent already 100% satisfied with their regions, that is.)

NSer Reviews

"I can't believe it was just another NS region, it was so fun!" - Satisfied Customer

"When I first started in the Free Trade Zone, I was afraid it would be just like every other region, but it's totally not!" - Satisfied Customer

"OMG NO REGIONAL GOVERNMENT WTF LOL" - Stupid Commie

Move to the Free Trade Zone (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/-1/page=display_region/region=free_trade_zone). It's just like Venice, but without the black plague.

Pfffft... that newcomer does not even make the top three! I'm not going down. All of you 'conservative' nations are just being PWNED at your own game by a Democrat-supporting liberal from the Disunited States of Yurop. Hahahahahahahahaha. *cough*

*whips the population into shape with a crazy glare of neoliberal fury*

"WORK! we must COMPETE! on the international level! Free trade means no more lunchbreaks for you!"

*mandatory radios blare*
"Knootoss is the most competitive. Knootoss will compete. Knootoss shall compete. WE WILL MAKE THE FIVE YEARS OF THE THE LISSABON AGENDA IN FOUR YEARS! "

Hey, watch where you're throwing that prase around! I spent time as a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise.

It's a per capita number, so size does not matter. In largest gdp, Santa Barbara dwarfs us all, as well as in total population.

Of course seeing how SB is way down at 7th on the per capita list, it's obvious his citizens just sit around all day watching Oprah, eating Tasty Snack Brand® Tasty Snack Packs®, and collecting wellfare. ;)

/I keed, I keed. Please don't aquire me in a hostile take-over, SB

Not size, per se, but other nations have had considerably more time to develop. Besides which, it's still impressive that in Texas, where 4 or 3 billion plus nations consistently dominate the rankings, and most nations in Texas are capitalist/conservatives, my 1 billion nation was in the top ten for economic rankings every time.

Of course they do! Except for the welfare part. It's just tax cuts. Yesh.





Oh, and..

Hmmm...this reminds me...I wish I could move my nation that has a 47,000+ GDP per capita to Free Trade Zone. That would show old Knootz0r.

Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is a region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone) that looks good...

See my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone), see my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone),
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,

Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone), see my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone),
See my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone).

Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,
Kill two for matching clogs,
See my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone), see my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone),
Oh please, won't you see my region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone).

I really like the region (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=free%20trade%20zone).

Free Trade Zone pawned my socks off (interpret in whichever way seems best).

I choose to interpret that as I cluncked you on the head, stole your socks, and then pawned them, which really contributed to my bottom line.
