The Empire of What-the is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 45 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Public Transport are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33%. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Max Barry is this year's Miss What-the, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, billions of what-the dollers are being blown on orbital weapons development, and aeroplanes have been converted into housing units after all air travel was outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. 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.

What-the is ranked 14th in the region and 54,044th in the world for Laxest Drug Laws.

Eh, what-the posted an update, so I will too. By the way, the flag is in my sig.

The Republic of ThisIsNotACountry is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 40 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery industries.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, smoking is banned in public areas, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ThisIsNotACountry's national animal is the lawn gnome, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nothing.

ThisIsNotACountry is ranked 7th in the region and 36,607th in the world for Laxest Drug Laws.

The Empire of Vampara is a large, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 56 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Healthcare, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and the adult unemployment rate nears 100% as all available jobs have been filled by young children. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Vampara's national animal is the vampire dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the blood.

Vampara is ranked 1st in the region and 17,034th in the world for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector.

I also tried to make the worst possible nation, but failed
