Create And Run A Nation

Kuali Baba SG

Here's something a little light-hearted for Speaker's Corner.

Ever wondered how you or your fellow forum members would fare in running your own countries? Try this:

I dug it up from an old thread in my forum. It's simple: name your country, it's currency and national animal, and make all the decisions as it grows - or slides.

Do post updates here, once you've started and whenever there are changes!

this is my proud nation...

Location: the West Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Armed Republic of Verrotting is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. 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 of 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 healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Retail.

Crime is a serious problem. Verrotting's national animal is the random rodent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the recycled aluminum can.

The Empire of Serene Campy is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Retail industry.

Crime is moderate. Serene Campy's national animal is the phoenix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the serenity.

Very Happy

The Oppressed Peoples of Absln 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Absln's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the club.

The Commonwealth of Everlorn is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning serpent population. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 26%. A small private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Trout Farming.

Crime is well under control. Everlorn's national animal is the serpent and its currency is the lorn.

The Holy Empire of SectarianScreams is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning snake 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry.

Crime is moderate. SectarianScreams's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sec.

The Community of Colcannon is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is well under control. Colcannon's national animal is the beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the parsley.
