Alright people, here are my nations on Nation States.

I say we get as many fencer nations as we can and take over the UN! Who's with me?

The ----- of The ------ is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 687 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The ------'s national animal is the Inquartata, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Kielbasa.

I remember when the glorious Confederacy of Rusted Chassis was so puny. I crushed my regional opposition. Now, I rule the frozen Enclave alone, atop my pile of skulls.

You're in my dossier. We need more fencers so we can take over the UN.

Right Of Way Or Wrong Of Way?
The Issue

An increasing number of land owners have been fencing off footpaths which run through or near their property and as a result you have been petitioned by The Rambler's and Hiker's Association to allow the 'right to roam'.
The Debate

1. Johann Jong-Il, a famous hiker of -------'s countryside, storms into your office, arms waving dangerously. "These pompous land owners are fencing off hundreds of years of tradition! The public should have right of way by law! It is every man's right to be able to enjoy the scenic beauty of our native lands and I don't see why some toffee-nosed prat should be the only person allowed to walk around his hundreds of acres of land when most of us don't even have one! It's simply unforgivable! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a walk! Wherever I ruddy well like!"
[Accept]

2. "It's trespass, plain and simple," says Naki Frederickson, wealthy owner of six mansions. "My home is my castle! If these smelly ramblers think they can abuse and defile my land, they should start thinking again! You've got to look at this reasonably: where people go, pollution follows. Before I know it I'm going to have litter in my fields, drunken parties in my woods, and more eroded footpaths than I can count! Will they be the ones paying to have it all maintained? Not likely! I say no to this 'right to roam' rubbish! This land is mine, and I intend to keep it that way."
[Accept]

3. "There's an opportunity in every problem," says Pip McGuffin, your Minister of Rural Affairs. "And there's always some sort of compromise. We could simply allocate some government funding to teams of environmental workers to maintain and promote our network of footpaths that anyone may use... for a price. Think of the money we could get from all those hikers and ramblers! Not to mention the tourists, birdwatchers, and hippies! Everybody wins! Except for those who can't afford the fees, I guess, but you can't please everyone."
[Accept]

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.

The Republic of Cak-Handers
"Always learning, always growing."

UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights:
Good Economy:
Strong Political Freedoms:
Excellent
Location: The North Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Republic of Cak-Handers is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16%. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Furniture Restoration.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cak-Handers's national animal is the penguin and its currency is the sinistrine.

Well, I'll probably have to deal with the crime at some point in time, but beyond that, I'd live there.

@Neinteen:

The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy

81% income tax rate?!?

And why am I not surprised it's a dictatorship?

Shouldn't you all move to the "fencers" Region?
I'll creat a nation later tonight.

The Empire of Latest night

"Better living through the destruction of others"

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights:Some
Economy:Thriving
Political Freedoms:Few

Regional Influence: Superpower

The Empire of Latest night is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 283 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 tiny government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Information Technology.
Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, citizens must pay to enjoy Latest night's pristine beaches, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime is a serious problem. Latest night's national animal is the Wild Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Quiblon.
Latest night is ranked 1st in the region and 4,868th in the world for Largest Agricultural Sector.

Ok... so, now what?

The Commonwealth of 13 Tribes is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10%. A robust private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 13 Tribes's national animal is the white bunny and its currency is the touch.

Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Rare
UN Category: Libertarian Police State

(Is this even possible? Superb civil rights and yet no one has any freedom)

The Dominion of Kathrognia
"Life is for the weak."


UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship
Civil Rights:Some
Economy:Fragile
Political Freedoms:Rare

Location: the West Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow

The Dominion of Kathrognia is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55%, 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 Trout Farming.

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

I have just moved my small nation to the fencers region.
Let's see if we can get more to rise fencers' Regional Power.
