I know almost none of you probably know what the fuck nationstates is. It's a kickass political simulator (not war and shit but actual politics and economy) on the web.

www.nationstates.net

You make decisions on issues they give you and It decides what kind of nation you will become. Also there is a economy calculator out there that gives you the hard numbers on your nation

www.nseconomy.thirdgeek.com

the entire community acts as a governing online body for the virtual world it's pretty fun.

HERES MY NATION'S SUMMARY

Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights:Good
Economy:Frightening
Political Freedoms:Very Good

Location: Fidelia
Regional Influence: Minnow

The Zogist Empire of Daftatt is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the almighty Skybear Zogu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.337 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldenrod. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Daftatt, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and Zoguerilla is one of the most popular forenames in Daftatt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daftatt's national animal is the Zoguerilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Tatt.

Daftatt is ranked 16th in the region and 29,921st in the world for Laxest Drug Laws.
If you try it out my nation is Daftatt and my region is Fidelia.

and yes, IT IS A FUCKING GAME! Very Happy

A bunch of us came across Nation States today, so we decided to create a Sydlexia region for anyone from Sydlexia who has a nation on the site. If you want to create a nation, click here, and once you've created one click here to join the Sydlexia region.

I got sick of Nation States. The UN is completely awful, and after like a month of making decisions, you're getting the same questions over and over again. At least, that's how it was 5 five years ago when I played. Maybe it's less repetitive now. I might be willing to give it another shot. I probably shouldn't though, I already spend way too much time not writing.

The People's Republic of Feistari

“Evinco est praevaleo!” (In Conquest Victory)

Regional Influence: Superpower

The People's Republic of Feistari is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 47%, 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 Cheese Exports.

Voting is compulsory and Space Whaless are considered a delicacy. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Feistari's national animal is the Space Whales, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Gremel.

Feistari is ranked 4th in the region and 19,092nd in the world for Laxest Drug Laws.

Wow, a black market for cheese. Awesome.

Scray has aligned itself with the SLFS

SLFS am I making the right call?
# "The fact is, the lyger population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Randy Hamilton. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have lyger kebabs, lyger pies, lyger-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."

# "I agree that something needs to be done about lyger over-population," says random passer-by Hope Mistletoe, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

# "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Abraham Hamilton. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The lygers were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The lyger is part of what makes OWDASSIA a great nation!"
