This is for the person who doesn't want to take on as much work as in Cyber Nations.

My police-state-in-training:

http://www.nationstates.net/neverwhere_land

The Empire of Neverwhere Land is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 135 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 23%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Automobile Manufacturing.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, organ donation rates have hit a new low, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, and it is illegal to own a mobile phone. Crime is a problem. Neverwhere Land's national animal is the narwahl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Anus.

Neverwhere Land is ranked 9th in the region and 70,035th in the world for Safest Nations.


Really, all you have to do is decide your stance on issues. And it has the handy "vacation mode" if you don't feel like playing for a while and come back to find your nation dead. (JUTTIN. >:)

No, I just thought faking death would be a good way to quit.
But, after a few days, I decided to stay.

I played this game for a week or so about 3 years ago. It got incredibly boring after the same "problems" kept showing up over and over. I stopped playing and my life has been amazing ever since.

Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.

The Dictatorship of Goblers Knob is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 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, pro-business 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 Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime is a serious problem. Goblers Knob's national animal is the dung beetle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dong.

"Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, abortions are routinely performed in Neverwhere Land's hospitals, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished."

HAH.

Here's Juttin's:

"The Rogue Nation of ACTIONIA JUNIOR is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 9 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Voting is compulsory, organ donation is compulsory, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. ACTIONIA JUNIOR's national animal is the zombie and its currency is the penis joke.

ACTIONIA JUNIOR is ranked 15th in the region and 36,132nd in the world for Most Rebellious Youth."

Damned leftists.

Nudists Demand Time In Sun

The Debate
"For too long, our bodies have been trapped in these prisons of cotton and polyester!" yelled protester Falala Winters, while apparently developing a nasty case of sunburn. "We must repeal the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime. My body--my choice to dangle!" -This is the position your government is preparing to adopt

"I agree," mused sociology professor Buy Longbottom. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."

:lol Now my nation is full of nudists

Also, Jeff the Ninja's nation:

"The Federation of Misunderstood Geniuses is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt 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 22%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.

Elections have been outlawed and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem. Misunderstood Geniuses's national animal is the robotic gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the death beam."

I got bored and joined. Is there any actual reason I would want to join one of these nation group things that are trying to recruit me? I'm really not feeling much incentive to join the "Knights of A New Haven" ruled by "The Ancient Rulers of Armegh".

The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for ACTIONIA JUNIOR's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that zombies could be added to the menu.

The Debate
"The fact is, the zombie population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Samuel Dredd. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have zombie kebabs, zombie pies, zombie-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."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.


"I agree that something needs to be done about zombie over-population," says random passer-by Pete Spirit, "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."
[Accept]


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

Neverwhere Land:

"Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Neverwhere Land's national animal is the narwahl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Anus."

My nation's children are priviledged.
