NationStates Jolt Archive

I notice the latest update has added some new nation descriptions (the phrase in the first line on the nation information page e.g. 'Bobstan is a big nation of 7 people, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons'). Here are some of the new ones I've spotted: anyone seen any others?

'anti-smoking policies'
'sprawling nuclear plants'
'unlimited-speed roads'
'national health service'
'keen interest in outer space'
'happy-go-lucky citizens'
'museums and concert halls'
'complete lack of public education'
'enforced nudity'
'parental licensing program'
'prohibition of alcohol'
'irreverence towards religion'
'restrictive gun laws'

and, my personal favourites,

'hatred of cheese'
'suspicion of poets'

It also seems as though the size descriptors have changed: really big nations now have 'gargantuan' populations.

Also, has anyone noticed any other changes?

The news was broken here (http://siroccothemod.blogspot.com/2008/10/two-small-enhancements.html). Some nations are "colossal", and other nation descriptors include "ban on automobiles". Haven't noticed any more.

The Federated Technocratic Oligarchy of The Most Glorious Hack is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 12.217 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

Heh. "Happy-go-lucky" but living in "perpetual fear". Glad to see even more contradictions. :)
