NationStates Jolt Archive

I created a new nation called the Federation of Oseea, and I selected the option that I strongly disagee that Business does more harm than good, and that Capitalism is not on its way out...however my national profile says that private enterprise is illegal. My economy is good though.

How is this possible? And what can I do to change it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Your nation's description -- well, most of it, anyway -- is game-generated according to which UN Category your nation falls under, not necessarily your economic rating. Right now, your nation is a "New York Times Democracy" (whatever that means); I think all NYT Democracies have that line in their nation's description. [EDIT: Apparently not (www.nationstates.net/myso-kamia).] Your UN Category is determined by how high your Economic, Political and Civil Rights levels are -- which are all tweaked by how you answer your daily issues. If you say in your issues that you want less private enterprise, but more social freedoms, you'll skew more and more to the left; the inverse, more and more to the right. Outlaw both private enterprise and political and civil rights and you may well end up a Psychotic Dictatorship. Continue to increase economic, social and political freedoms, and you could end up mired in anarchy. Anyway, the more you answer your daily issues (for instance, legalizing gambling increases economic freedoms; allowing neo-Nazi marches or increased voting rights increases political freedoms; legalizing euthanasia and gay marriage increases civil rights), the more your UN Category will change, and your nation's description along with it. Confused yet? Good! Welcome to NationStates! :cool:

Okay...I just think that line kinda sucks because I wanted private enterprise to be legal. I'm hoping it will change in time. I'm trying to shoot for a Libertarian type society.

I can see why your concercerned (sp)... Libertarianism is abot personal freedoms, and free trade is a personal freedom.

False.

Myso-Kamia,

Your profile is a lot closer to what I was looking for.
