The Holy Empire of The Merciless Ming

"The Emperor is ALWAYS right"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship

Civil Rights: Unheard Of
Economy: Imploded Political
Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: the Pacific
The Holy Empire of The Merciless Ming is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass -- is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Merciless Ming's national animal is the horned bloodbeast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ming.



Woooooooooooo trout farming!!!!!!

Which region should my nation be in?
It's up to you. New nations begin in the Pacific, but you can move out. You can even start your own region. This is a good idea if you're playing with a few friends: create a region and all move there.



So why not start our own region (Ozonia?).

[Edit: Yeah, it's fun to fool around with, but if you try to actually govern your nation wisely, you will soon discover that every action has a negative repercussion, and you'll end up dismissing issues if you'd rather not deal with those negative consequences. Then again, there are only about 30 issues, so if you do something that has a consequence you don't like, just change your response the next time the issue comes around. Of course, you can never go back to being neutral on the subject. I'm starting to understand why real world governments often try to do as little as possible...]

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy

Location: the Pacific
The Free Republic of Goldyloves is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 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 medium-sized 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 15%. A large private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Goldyloves's national animal is the cat and its currency is the lightning.

The Dictatorship of All That Is Kinda Evil is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws.

The minute, moralistic government, or what there is of one, concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales industries.

Crime is a serious problem. All That Is Kinda Evil's national animal is the sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the human toe.

One thought - we really need someone who is a UN member as it looks like the main fun can be had playing with UN resolutions. As Suho1004 has been playing longer and has a population that could whip everyone else combined ten times over he looks like the best bet to get made a member - any thoughts?
