NationStates Jolt Archive

I tried 2 times to create an ideal corporate-ruled nation. The government type for both was "conservative".

I made sure on the list of questions that marijuana was illegal, the world was in need of a spiritual revitalization, corporations were "NOT" what is ruining a nation, etc. Basically every answer one could think of that would render a nation to be a conservative corporation-ruled nation.

But lo and behold both of those nations had private business illegalized?!? WTF!!!

Is the network administrator from some European country mad at the U.S. or does he just not like private business.

Someone please help me!!! Is it a luck of the draw after the questions or do the questions have an impact on what type of nation your nation will be.

The nations that were supposed to be corporation-ruled are "Olrya" and "Cross Risers".

With the issues, your nation's profile changes.

And besides, you can just disregard whatever that says in RPs.

You missed a couple of things.

If you want to be classified as conservative, it would have helped if you answered yes to the question on military service (neocons loooooooooove the military) and answered that democracy is bad (neocons are more than willing to sacrifice freedom in the name of national security). Doing so would have landed you as a Corporate Police State, which judging from your post, seems close to what you want. I should know because I created a puppet the other day, Teh Condiliar Empire, with the express purpose of destabilizing my mostly liberal region, and it came out as a Corporate Police State. :D

Try setting it to 'libertarian' or something like that. Don't conscript soldiers, make sure capitalism is not going again, and do everything good for corporations. That should do the trick. You must be answering something that's triggering illegal private industry. When answering the question, try keeping in mind that the less government, the less likely there'll be an illegal private sector. I haven't had this problem though. What are you answering for the other questions?

In terms of the questions:

"strongly disagree" that a nation should be judged on how it treats it's worst-off citizens.

"strongly disagree" that corporations do more harm than good for a society.

"strongly disagree" that marijuana should be legal.

"strongly agree" that the world needs a spiritual revitalization.

"strongly agree" for a year's service in the military for the youth.

"strongly disagree" that capitalism is on the way out.

"agree" that without democracy, a nation has nothing.

"strongly agree" that is more important to deter criminals rather than rehabilitaion.

Theoretically I believe these sets of answers should render a nation corporation ruled with PRIVATE BUSINESS LEGAL!!! But I get a nation with private business illegal. WTF!!!

One thing. The question is 'Corporations do more good for society than harm.' Not the other way around. If you answered strongly disagree to that question, it means you think corporations do more harm than good. That's probably it.

Change the second to last question to "strongly disagree" to become a corporate police state

I got that wrong when I started out too. For some reason the wording twists my brain around.

And so for the longest time it said I had illegalized private business because there wasn't a method to change that part of your description until later.
