My nation is now a UN member, known as The Principality of Zimpaoli. I'm having a look around, I may change it to Theocracy. Anyone have a clue what the hell a theocracy is?

Also, I suggest you do not join the forum. If you have a look down the side where it reads "latest topics", there is one saying "why do girls reject me". So, I had a look and a fairly good laugh. Only one person hit the nail on the head, responding "Because you think people on the internet will help you".

More details of Benaudville here

The Armed Republic of Benaudville is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is moderate. Benaudville's national animal is the badger and its currency is the potato.

Benaudville is ranked 84,317th in the world for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens.

A Theocracy is a religous-centered government, I belive.

Today I have decided to ban gambling - no more National Lottary for my community. That'll be Dale Winton out of work, then.

My econamy is a little fragile, but all 8 million of my people love me!!!

A theocracy is a nation ruled by God...

In the same way a meritocracy is rule by the elite, democary is rule by the people and Autocracy is rule by by One individual, Monarchy is rule by a Monarch

The best example of a Theocracy is the Isaralite nation pre-saul when the head of state was essentially God....

Here you go - all you ever wanted to know about the glorious land of Peek Freens:-

The Democratic Republic of Peek Freens is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 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 medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13%. A healthy private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Retail.

Crime is a problem. Peek Freens's national animal is the Horny Golloch and its currency is the Bourbon.


Crack on then! Low income tax, lots of cheese and a burgeoning Insurance industry! Must sort out the crime though - probably cheese-related!
