http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=shagatopia

"Location: Shagatopia
The Rogue Nation of Shagatopia is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 32 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shagatopia's national animal is the saber tooth tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the shagloon.

Shagatopia is ranked 1st in the region and 31,511th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector. "

Location: The East Pacific
The Republic of Zaalabad is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16%. A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Information Technology.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zaalabad's national animal is the zebra and its currency is the zaalars.

Hmmm, need to work on that mortality rate. :o

The Democratic Republic of Mojambo is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Voting is voluntary, euthanasia is illegal, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown. Mojambo's national animal is the noble pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Location: the West Pacific
The Empire of Wulfian is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime is moderate. Wulfian's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hellion.

Crime is well under control. Hypogea's national animal is the snowrat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gil.

And we have just recently debated our first national issue - Voting: compulsory vs. voluntarily. The Government of Hypogea has decided that, in order to protect and guarantee the ability to vote for everyone of its citizens, voting should be compulsory. Legislation is pending.

"The RIA still believes that an intelligent and resourceful nation such as The DR Of Evil Woody Things could quickly find a foothold in the RIA where your nation could wield influence.

(They had been practically begging me to join their region, but I wanted to stay neutral, especially because they misspelled my country's name twice. One of those mistakes appears below.)

I had told them that I would rather be one of the first countries in a region instead of being a blip on the radar of a huge one. Well, it looks like the pond is growing.:)

New Kingman is a UN Member

The Republic of New Kingman is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 1.861 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, the Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is totally unknown. New Kingman's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Newk.

I just have to get the taxes down.

[0rganism]

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Trout Farming.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heshtopia's national animal is the Vole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hesh.

46. Just wondering...

I wonder if anyone from Freeperville has a Region over there. I would tend to think not, but you never know. If they did is there anyway we could find out? Maybe once we get a few more naitons together we can start passing UN Resolutions that would drive them absolutely over the edge...

:evilgrin:

[strategery blunder]

47. The freeps probably refuse to join the UN

because it would be too French to them. So any resolutions we passed wouldn't affect them. *sigh*

[DemWitch]

49. good point...

never thought about that aspect... <sigh>

[Nightowl_2004]

79. Unfortunately, I doubt it...

Several things. 1) The UN seems to be quite large. The vote that they have going now has had thousands (Tens of thousands actually)of votes. 2) The UN seems to be pointless. Yes, They pass resolutions and things but I have seen no way that countries have to abide by the resolutions (In other words, It's all words.) Indeed MANY countries are active members of the game, but have not joined the UN, and 3) Keep an eye out for them! Their are definitely freepers over their. I saw one guy "The Restored Texan Republic" or something like that use the Military to deport All French from his county. If thats not Freeper sounding, I dont know what is!!!

"Don't make us kick your ass"

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Few
Location: Shagatopia

The Empire of Oil Rich Assholes is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Oil Rich Assholes's national animal is the creepy crawly spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dead cat.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Free Range Hamsters's national animal is the large wooden badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the shaven yak.

Hammies!

The Free Land of Norepublicania
"Love one another"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:
Excellent Economy:
Struggling Political Freedoms:
Below Average

Location: The North Pacific
The Free Land of Norepublicania is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Crime is totally unknown. Norepublicania's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pie.
