The United Socialist States of Thetis

"So good for the soul, so bad for the moment"

UN Category: Left-Leaning College State
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Below Average

The United Socialist States of Thetis is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government concentrates mainly on Education, although Defence and Law & Order are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Gambling industries.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, surveillance cameras are banned, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thetis's national animal is the ambiguous pzuma, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the syn.

The Dominion of Acraba  (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?pin=57752899&target=display_nation)

"All your women, booze, drugs and money are belong to us"

UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Unheard Of


Location: The North Pacific
The Dominion of Acraba is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. 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 the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt 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 Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling industries.

Crime is a serious problem. Acraba's national animal is the ali landry, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the women.


poor ali :(

Is this that painfully slow thing I saw a while back where you fill out a form to make your extremely limited country and then argue imaginary politics?

The People's Republic of Ciron[/b]

"Proletarians of all countries, unite!"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Struggling
Political Freedoms: Few

Location: The North Pacific
The People's Republic of Ciron is a tiny, safe 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."

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 Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 51%, 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 Basket Weaving.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ciron's national animal is the gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the chek.

After going through this, I'd have to agree with Stryke - this pretty much sucks.

Yeh, I remember sitting through fifteen minutes of slow-loading forms trying to make a country out of a chunk of Mexico siezed by the Tijuana cartel in order to have a place to process crack in, and then giving up. After all, when it won't except the "cocaine brick" as a national currency and won't listen when you tell it that the national animal got shot and eaten by a Columbian mercenary last week, what's the point?

The Republic of Capula


Location: The North Pacific
The Republic of Capula is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Pizza Delivery.

Crime is moderate. Capula's national animal is the rat and its currency is the darkage.

The People's Republic of Kaldora
"Our dreams of the future are tomorrow's reality"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Location: The North Pacific

The People's Republic of Kaldora is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, 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 enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kaldora's national animal is the vasudan and its currency is the shiva.

not much to look at... yet

I've been there a while. Have 3 nations but this is my most active:

  The Dominion of Imperial Hephestus
"Freedom Unto The Oppressed"

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

Location: ISAF
The Dominion of Imperial Hephestus is a small, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 10 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 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 22%. A healthy private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, military spending is on the increase, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Imperial Hephestus's national animal is the raven, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the forge.
