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.

The Kingdom of Tomicool

“One is the best, one is not.”

Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Very Strong
Political Freedoms: Very Good
Location: United Kingdom

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Kingdom of Tomicool is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Gambling and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military spending recently hit a new high, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is a serious problem. Tomicool's national animal is the Bird Of Freedom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tomic.

Tomicool is ranked 18,340th in the world for Fastest-Growing Economies.

Re: Do you want to RUN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

The Debate

"The fact is, the gray wolf population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Faith Rubin. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have gray wolf kebabs, gray wolf pies, gray wolf-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."


"I agree that something needs to be done about gray wolf over-population," says random passer-by Hack Mistletoe, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."


"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Chastity Jefferson. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The gray wolfs were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The gray wolf is part of what makes New Soviet Nation a great nation!"


New dilemma. I just say we eat tamales and chocolate all out lives.

At least my people have reasonable debates and issues.  lol

Except for that one guy that supported free speech for Nazis . . .  neutral

When I learned about the KKK, and how they were allowed to speak, I didn't care if we're a free country, racist views should be outlawed.

Just this day, my friend and I were discussing how we should boycott DirectTV Black Cinema until we get a White Cinema.

Re: Do you want to RUN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

The Issue
A loose coalition of sartorially-challenged individuals known as "Let It All Hang Out" has called on the government to relax public nudity laws.

The Debate
"For too long, our bodies have been trapped in these prisons of cotton and polyester!" yelled protester Steffan Jong-Il, while apparently developing a nasty case of sunburn. "We must repeal the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime. My body--my choice to dangle!"



"I agree," mused sociology professor Larry Bush. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."



"Whoa, whoa," says noted accountant Freddy Fellow. "Are these people serious? The last thing I want to see when I'm out for a coffee is some lumbering, over-weight nudist coming down the sidewalk toward me. If people want to get naked, they can do it in the privacy of their own homes. Think of the children!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.




....
I chose the third one.

Re: Do you want to RUN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?

NOW IN SCRATCH REGION!!!

The Kingdom of Tomicool

“One is the best, one is not.”

Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Below Average   
Economy: Very Strong   
Political Freedoms: Good
Location: Scratch

Regional Influence: Minnow

The Kingdom of Tomicool is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Gambling.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government is seen to favor Catholics, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime is a serious problem. Tomicool's national animal is the Bird Of Freedom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tomic.

Tomicool is ranked 39,267th in the world for Most Cultured.
