[q]We favor catholics because we have a catholic spiritual advisor?[/q]

Sounds fair enough.  You chose to have a Catholic spiritual advisor, hence you favour said religion.

And remember you get the option to pay for organ donation, etc, because there's a shortage.  So doing nothing will of course not alleviate the problem.

I didn't think there was a shortage. Must have missed the fine print.

You know the game says the aspu-hek is going extinct due to wide deforestation, but what that game doesn't know is that the aspu-hek was a desert creature in the first place!!

Odd. I went away for a week, with my nation left on Vacation Mode, and my economy crashed. I think I'll blame the UN....

[Grey Wolf]

The UN has severely messed with my country, so I pulled out....

SILENCE! Do not question.

After a sixty year old man with psoriasis streaked past cameras and millions of sports fans during the snooker league playoffs, protesters have called for tougher action.
The Debate

   1. "This can't go on!" says traumatized snooker player Hope Hanover, "Children are watching sports and having them exposed to this lewd behaviour is unacceptable! I demand that these people be locked up for several years and maybe they'll have learnt their lesson!"
      [Accept]

   2. "Oh don't be ridiculous!" scoffs prolific streaker Melbourne Jong-Il, "It's all just a bit of fun and the kids shouldn't be wrapped in cotton wool, or they'll learn nothing! Sports are so dull anyway, it needs a little bare skin to liven it up. Streaking should be legal!"
      [Accept]

The Armed Republic of Larks
"Eat the @#$! cow!"

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights: Unheard Of
Economy: Good    
Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Hardlight Commonwealth

The Armed Republic of Larks is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its cynical population of 6 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic 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 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Voting is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Larks's national animal is the Walking Fish and its currency is the Mola.

Larks is ranked 34th in the region and 118,704th in the world for Most Liberal Nations.

Yey!
Hardlight Region Statistics:
Smallest GDP:     Girls Aloud 3000 ($1.69 billion)
Smallest GDP Per Capita:     Girls Aloud 3000 ($64.95)

Finally my citizens have dropped their materialistic ways, and created a true haven for the mind.  Free from greed and desire, the proud people can now undertake the path to true enlightenment - and enjoy Girls Aloud related tasks all day long.  Long live the Armed Republic of Girls Aloud 3000!

That's what happens when you gear your whole economy towards selling crappy cheese-pop****e records.

Location: The North Pacific
The Empire of Neo Terran Front is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, 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 small, moralistic government 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 12%. A robust private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Neo Terran Front's national animal is the wolf and its currency is the credit
