Oh yeah, the people's republic of Davinci just voted down and cruely repressed a strike by the countries workers in the gambling industry. They wanted a 20% increase and we not only voted it down, but sent in the police to arrest those discontents.

People will flock to my nation for its cheap gambling and tourism, and I'll use that money to turn my neighbours into a parking lot.

Evil will always win because good is stupid.

The Dominion of CP Flashpoint

"Semper Ubi Sub Ubi"

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists Civil Rights:
Excellent Economy:
Fragile Political Freedoms:
Excellent Location: ALLIED CP

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Dominion of CP Flashpoint is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government 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 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. CP Flashpoint's national animal is the fire camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Fleury

Damn that person who stole my name.

The Democratic Republic of TMYK

"Your life is a result of your actions, and yours alone."

UN Category: Right-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Location: The East Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Democratic Republic of TMYK is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports industries.
Crime is a serious problem. TMYK's national animal is the mykabian horse and its currency is the mykollar.

Here's mine..

The Holy Empire of Llaam

"In times of trouble, our fear is double"


The Holy Empire of Llaam is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
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 Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even 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.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Llaam's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Linku.


So now what..can I stir things up and cause global conflict?

very neat game

[KevanGuy]

I remember a loooong time ago, some would even say the good ol days, on FARK we totally FARKED this game. It was posted on the main board and a whole schwack load of us signed up and quickly proceeded to ruin it for the serious players.

I dont exactly remember what we all did but it lasted a good week and it was actually quite a bit of fun.

EDIT: Wow, I found our region...

World Factbook Entry: On January 25th 2003 Fark.com Linked NationStates.net,
and the one true region of Farkistan was created to rule over all other regions.

The Sultanate of KevanGuy

"Been there, banned that"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights:Unheard Of
Economy:Reasonable
Political Freedoms:Unheard Of Location: the West Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow


The Sultanate of KevanGuy is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic 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 29%, 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 Uranium Mining.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. KevanGuy's national animal is the ban, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the mod.

So what exactly is the point with this? I sign up and decide on an issue and there doesn't seem to be anything else. Am I missing something? I don't get it.

The Incorporated States of The Maritime Nation

[peter12]

The Holy Empire of Petoristan is a small, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 21%. A large private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Gambling.
Elections have been outlawed and military spending is on the increase. Crime is moderate. Petoristan's national animal is the marmot and its currency is the pelt.
Petoristan is ranked 34th in the region and 81,526th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.

[moon]

The Dictatorship of Mooell is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.


There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, moralistic individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing industries.


Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a problem. Mooell's national animal is the dancing midget, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the almighty dollar.

Does everyone get the same "issue" to deal with daily? I had the people angry about chickens today.

[BlackEleven]

No, I think the issues are random. Usually you can see how someone has decided on a particular issues based on the last paragraph in the blurb about his/her country.

For example in my country:

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the government is avowedly atheist

I think you usually have 3 choices on an issue: for, against, or some sort of compromise.

I voted
1) against regulated gambling
2) for tariffs on foregin goods
3) comprimise for affirmative action (related to televiosn stars)
4) against a government appointed spirituality advisor

which explains the last paragraph in the blurb about my country

[Antithesis]

Gotcha. I voted to dismiss the angry chicken people (animal activists) and also one other that I can't remember at this point. I decided it was OK for people to collect money from donating blood and now ...

"Voting is voluntary and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys."

[Maritime Q-Scout]

yeah, I'm not in favour of free speech because I didn't let a Nazi demonstration that would turn violent have their protest.

[Antithesis]

Well, obviously.

I don't get it either. I wish it was a little more in depth.
