tml12 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Sounds almost like the liberals The average income tax rate is 5%. .... maybe not Na, Quick question. What do you do about telegrams? Is it wise to respond to these? Next, we have to answer another question about our country everyday? (i.e. today was compulsory voting). You technically don't have to answer a question every day, but if you have more than 5 in your "to do list" then they stop piling up. The only requirement is that you log in and do something once every 30 days, or else your account expires. What region are you guys in? Want to start our own region? We could ask Greg for a forum to discuss nationstates issues. I am in the Pacific region. My population is growing and I just joined the UN. Yeah I am open to any addition...

tml12 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Obviously this isn't about Canadian politics per se, but there's really no off-topic section. Anyone play Nation States? It's a political simulator of sorts where you create a country and run it any way you like. I will be setting my country up this weekend...mid-terms the last few weeks have kept me a little crazy... You at school in Montreal tml? I had no idea... what are you taking? I'm setting up my country now, despite that I have an impossible mid-term tomorrow! Yeah I study political science and canadian history...double majors (probably). I thought everyone pretty much knew I was a university student, early 20s, etc. But regardless, that's cool. You have a mid-term today. Good luck...mine is canadian anthropology which is a bit difficult but anyhow, mainly an emphasis on irony, etc. in canadian culture (I have been up since 4AM studying and the coffee just can't keep going down quickly... ) Hopefully, we'll both do well!!!

na85 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 As for the telegrams, whether or not you respond to them is entirely up to you. Generally, if it is someone trying to get you to move to another region, I would recommend blocking them. Otherwise, respond or ignore at your own whims. Quid pro quo: Messages from the "Compliance Ministry" or whatever are automated and will ignore any replies sent. I doubt I'll reply. My country will grow on its own right. The telegrams don't have any effect on your nation's growth, but your Issues do. Also, once you reach 500 million people, you can create a custom title for your nation.

I had no idea actually, I was under some impression you were on old coot. Statistics (blah) today and a little Business ridiculousness tomorrow for midterms. Most like going to fail that stats... but you know what they say, C's get degrees. Those anthro classes drive me nuts, I hate having to read.

Kiraly Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Kiraly's Kingdom.... ....The Kingdom of Arany "In Vino Veritas" The Kingdom of Arany is a massive, devout nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.424 billion 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and the Environment. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing. Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, and the Arany Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is a serious problem. Arany's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the corona. Arany is ranked 2nd in the region and 8,037th in the world for Largest Mining Sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slavik44 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think I played this game once before....for like 2 days...but I figure I will give it a try while I recover from the GPA suicide that was my economics mid term. The People's Republic of Vancouver_2010 is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption. The large, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

I'm on Stats II, and I think im going to drop it. I apparently failed miserably on the midterm, after the wrong mark was posted to raise my hopes. I'm way below 50% and its not looking up from here, so it looks like I'm down a course on the year. I'd rather have a withdrawl than a failure though! Calc was decent, no complaints there. Same with me, my average in economics is around 3.9 and in business 3.8. My overall is like 3.3 though. If I just drop Stats and lose my business aspect of my major, then life gets so much easier. An econ degree will be a walk in the park from where I'm at, cuts a year off my school too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffrey Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Mine is doing well : The Holy Republic of Geofferites is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 352 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 tiny government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries. The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, the Boar is believed to be extinct, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Geofferites's national animal is the Boar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Crown. Nothing like a powerhouse economic father knows best state. I'd live there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost&outofcontrol Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 The United Socialist States of Radjabov is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 368 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and the government seizes the property of the recently deceased. Crime is well under control. Radjabov's national animal is the black eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lek. Radjabov is ranked 243rd in the region and 10,682nd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments.

CoachCartman Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 After reading all of the above, I got sucked in. Looks like fun but could be tough with seeding starting next week... The Republic of Footfall is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6 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 small, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A substantial private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing. Crime is a problem. Footfall's national animal is the newfoundland dog and its currency is the plug. Footfall is ranked 4757th in the region and 86,888th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita). UN Category: Right-wing Utopia Civil Rights:Unheard Of Economy:Very Strong Political Freedoms:Very Good need to work on the civil rights a bit I have also be bombarded with requests to join different regions.....planning on winging it on my own for now.....might join up with some people from here if a region starts up. Thanks for letting me know about the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
