Howdy! Well, I'm a number of things right now, chief among them bored and lonely. April got us hooked on Neopets; I have been trying fiercly to get us hooked on pool. Now, another thing shows up.
Very easy, takes like 10 minutes to do.
For those who are wondering, my states are as follows:
The Disputed Territories of Eris Discordia
Current National Motto: Is the Thought of A Unicorn a Real Thought?

Man, if I had as much knowledge as you do floating around up in my head, I'd never be bored or lonely. I just sit around thinking to myself. Just a-sittin' and a-thinkin'. A regular mental ho-down. Just the other day I tried thinking to myself and I heard something go "squoosh." So I stopped.

The Dictatorship of Siclidonia
National Motto: "Who keeps moving my chair?"
UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Struggling
Political Freedoms: Few
Location: the Pacific
The Dictatorship of Siclidonia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 58%, 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 relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Siclidonia's national animal is the the dung beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the siddy.

The Kingdom of Upper Dentonia
The Kingdom of Upper Dentonia is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 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 tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Upper Dentonia's national animal is the giant rock sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the chuck.

"One more for the road."
UN Category: Democratic Socialists

Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Very Good
The Rogue Nation of Bringabeeralong is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, 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 average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Bringabeeralong's national animal is the taipan and its currency is the stubbie.

A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Trout Farming and Furniture Restoration.

The Disputed Territories of Eris Discordia
"Is the Thought of a Unicorn a Real Thought?"
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Excellent Economy: Thriving Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Los Angeles
The Disputed Territories of Eris Discordia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Religion & Spirituality, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Information Technology industries.
Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eris Discordia's national animal is the Unseen Imaginary Dead Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the fnord.

Heather I must ask.. was there any Terry Prattchet influence on the name of your nation?
Create Your Own Country!
Just as a short note, have actually gone and read their announcements forum, since a few of you have noted you aren't recieving new issues. Apparantly, a bunch of features are temporarily disabled for the time while they try some things out. One of these features is recieving new issues and the UN :(.
Create Your Own Country!
Hannah, no, Terry Pratchett had nothing to do with the naming of my nation. What in fact happened was that Terry Pratchett (in his book "The Lost Continent") used a common 'fake' Australian town name as one of his place names. Bringabeeralong has been an Aussie joke for many, many decades. :)
And Sherl... I just copied and pasted from the site, and didn't notice their crap spelling. :) So I've fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.
