The Republic of Promethyus
"Your pain is our reward."

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Outlawed Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: the Pacific
The Republic of Promethyus is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable 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 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 Arms Manufacturing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Promethyus's national animal is the jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dycha.

heh... guns... guns are cool...

The Free Republic of Goldyloves
"Don't give it , we take it anyway"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Excellent Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Very Good

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
"To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid."

UN Category: Right-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Rare // Economy: Thriving // Political Freedoms: Below Average

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

And yes, I got the name from the John Cleese article that was posted here a day or two ago...

Rinswind: It certainly looks more involved than the others.

I have had a chance to read through things a bit more and this:
http://starshiptraders.com

Looks the most promising - Imperial Conflict looks good but seems to come with an awful lot of info to get one's head around and Starship Traders seems to offer more opprotunity for us to play as a team.

If there is interest I can spin off another thread.

OK consider it spun and we can leave this thread for specific discussion on the Nation States business.

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?

The People's Republic of Neuronius is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25%. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neuronius's national animal is the anthrax virus and its currency is the kodan.
