Re: On-line political game
Here is the nation I created:
The Empire of Raddishes
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Excellent
The Empire of Raddishes is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning mole population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raddishes's national animal is the mole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the raddish.

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights:

Good Political Freedoms:
Excellent

Re: On-line political game
The Empire of Alpha Centaurs

Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Location: the South Pacific
The Empire of Alpha Centaurs is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service.

Re: On-line political game
The Constitutional Monarchy of Little World
UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: the South Pacific
The Constitutional Monarchy of Little World is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, 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 juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40%, 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 Woodchip Exports.
Crime is relatively low. Little World's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the stone.
Motto: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. "
Hmm, seems I better work on my economic standing...
But at least I finally have my own Little World to live in!

Re: On-line political game
I opted for the Far South:
The Constitutional Monarchy of The Red Lair
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: the West Pacific
The Constitutional Monarchy of The Red Lair is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it 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 57%, 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 Soda Sales.
Crime is totally unknown. The Red Lair's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dragon.
Motto: "Never anger a dragon."

Re: On-line political game
Welcome to my world.
The Democratic Republic of Rimtopia
"Come In, Wipe Your Feet and Behave"
UN Category: Civil Rights Lovefest
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: World Benchmark
Location: the Pacific
The Democratic Republic of Rimtopia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming industries.
Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Rimtopia's national animal is the echidna, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the arnodollar.

Re: On-line political game
I went ahead and created a region anyway.
There are two nations in it with me which are led by friends from another place. Still, it's not restricted, so if you want to move there...

Re: On-line political game

The Allied States of Rappers and monkeys
"If you cant trust monkeys who can you trust? eminem!"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:
Very Good Economy:
Reasonable Political Freedoms:
Excellent
Location: The North Pacific
The Allied States of Rappers and monkeys is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Pizza Delivery.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rappers and monkeys's national animal is the rapping chimp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the 50 cent.

Re: On-line political game
Here's mine
The Holy Empire of Shivouda
"Steal while you can, then let others steal for you"
UN Category: Moralistic Democracy
Civil Rights:Outlawed
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Below Average
Location: the West Pacific
The Holy Empire of Shivouda is a small, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The minute, moralistic government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Furniture Restoration.
Crime is a problem. Shivouda's national animal is the planaria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the zwitterion.
Shivouda is ranked 3699th in the region and 56,078th inthe world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.

Well, this *is* a model for testing out several scenarios. Why not have one totally capitalistic?
