The Community of Chocalate Horses

“Pie makes you smart”

Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:
Good     Economy:
Developing     Political Freedoms:
Superb

Location: the South Pacific
   

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Community of Chocalate Horses is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Chocalate Horses's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the taco.

I just realized I spelled chocolate wrong, ah well.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Do you want to RUN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

The Republic of Lonwol
“Democratics not welcome whatsoever.”
Category: Right-wing Utopia
Economy:
Powerhouse
Political Freedoms:
Very Good
Civil Rights:
Rare

The Republic of Lonwol is a fledgling, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent 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 minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A large private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is a serious problem. Lonwol's national animal is the albino wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the lonwolanite.

The United States of PlayWithFire

“Be the change you wish to see in the world”

Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights:
Some    Economy:
Weak    Political Freedoms:
Unheard Of
Location: the West Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow

The United States of PlayWithFire is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass -- 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 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. PlayWithFire's national animal is the Llamas with hats, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Politics. Running a nation isn't really a "fun" game. I enjoy politics though.

The Dictatorship of What-the

“Comrade what-the is always right”

Category: Moralistic Democracy
Civil Rights:
Few     Economy:
Good     Political Freedoms:
Below Average

Location: the Pacific
   

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Dictatorship of What-the is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning elucidation population. Its hard-nosed 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 20%. A small private sector is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry.

Crime is moderate. What-the's national animal is the elucidation, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the what-the doller.
