Welcome to the Federation of Personal States

[Holdfast]

Hmm. Six regions have already tried to recruit me. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ignore them unless you want to do the role-playing side of things. I can't be arsed, to be honest. But they do offer the opportunity to gain regional power, join the UN, etc. There isn't actually a lot you can DO though. NationStates2 is due out soon (or maybe is already out?) and I think offers more scope for activity.

(alternatively, start a TrekBBS region. Mind you, the last time that was tried, things burnt out quite quickly.)

Sounds like the liberal utopia.

We're considered a "Civil Rights Lovefest" thank-you very much!

Yet you cannot spell defense.

That's the "game's" spelling, thank-you very much.

Rogue state it is, then.

Thanks for the link
I have also created a nation:

I had good time drawing the flag

Apparently if you don't embrace capitalism your economy comes under the heading "basket case".

That's a stupid thing to say.

In this country it's spelled defense.

The person who wrote that passage doesn't live in your country.

So that's another stupid thing to say.

That's kind of a silly thing to make a point about man. The important thing is that you know its meaning and I assume you do.

defence-defense
humor-humour
ass-arse

I think we can figure it out since time and time again I've heard that on this board people have above average IQ's.

Your average income is 100%?! Holy shit!

And the time before that too. I've had several nations in this ... and generally lost interest after a month or two.

I'm coming for your money, too.

So far, I'm finding it interesting watching the game trying to classify my country based on my whimsical decisions.

At first, it couldn't seem to decide if my country was a "Corporate Police State," or a "Compulsory Consumerist State."

Now I suddenly find myself ruling a nation of "Iron Fist Consumerists". Whatever that means.

It sounds cool, anyway.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

It's honestly doing my head in now, I embrace socialism so my economy apparently implodes. I decide to tax the rich more than the poor and it says my tax rate is at 100%. I agree to pay people to donate their organs and now it says students sell their organs to pay for college fees.

It's completely stupid.

"The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out."

Hmm. I'm beginning to see what you mean.

The game asked me how I wanted to respond to a Neo-Nazi rally. I told the police to crush it, since I don't allow politics of any kind

Now, I discover that, in my country, "it is illegal to make racist remarks in public."
