My Country

Welcome to NationStates

NationStates is a free nation simulation game. Build a nation and run it according to your own warped political ideals. Create a Utopian paradise for society's less fortunate or a totalitarian corporate police state. Care for your people or deliberately oppress them. Join the United Nations or remain a rogue state. It's really up to you

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Think the world has gone to hell in a handcart? Think you have the answers to the worlds problems? Want to be a benign dictator? Or have you a vision of utopia?

Create your own nation and post it here!

I've just created a nation, The Kingdom of Lemmo! For some reason I couldn't have Lemming.

I'm going to make the country peaceful and spiritualistic. We will protect the naitonal animal, the Lemming. So far my country is described as follows:

The Kingdom of Lemmo is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its burgeoning lemming population. Its hard-nosed, 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Crime is a problem. Lemmo's national animal is the lemming and its currency is the lemmopound.


I need to sort out the crime thing! And not be corrupt!

The Incorporated States of Gold Digging

Country motto: "If it glitters, its gold"

For some reason, the UN think we are an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy. Our economy though is good, we have some political freedoms and average civil rights - sounds like the UK!*

Full description:

Quote:
The Incorporated States of Gold Digging is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 5 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Basket Weaving.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gold Digging's national animal is the squirrel and its currency is the Goldy.
Yikes - 36%?!?!?!? Need to get that down to 6, more like!

Not sure I like the all-pervasive police either, must be other ways to control crime!



* though many Iraqis, Afghans and others would feel that the UK is anything but inoffensive!

I don't really get this game! I've been invited to some region called Equilism and have now joined their forum! I don't know how this has happened? What's going on?

The Republic of Uingereza is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively. The enormous, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Uingereza's national animal is the vulture, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the poundi.
Lemm, make them kids do national service. That'll stop the hooligans

juggins is my country; i'ts described like this;
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=juggins

The Republic of Juggins is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Education receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Crime is totally unknown. Juggins's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the euro.

i too get invitations from the miriad regions. Why not all join the same region? or even create our own?
