  1. My nation is called the Republic of Laurenzoo and something interesting that I found was that with the information that I entered in the computer decided that "Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate"

  2. The name of my nation is called the Republic of Carverr and after going through those few questions it said that my government is reasonable and that i have great national freedom.

  3. The Republic of Carver508 is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Gambling, and Retail industries.
    Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Carver508's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

    The United States of Amandaland224 is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws.

  13. My nation today brought me an issue about crime saying that there wouldnt be crime if we had better education and less people in poverty but the other side said that if we had more police officers and better punishments that the rate of crime would go down. with the issues that your nation brings you, they really make you have to think of whats the best choice.

  21. The Republic of Beeland2 is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed population of 12 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

    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 Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43%, 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 Information Technology.

    The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beeland2's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the COin.

  31. The Empire of Shagtastic is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its 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 concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 51%, 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 Arms Manufacturing.

    Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shagtastic's national animal is the white-tail deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Its compassionate population of 20 million 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.

    Meat-eating is frowned upon, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, military funding has been stripped back, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is well under control. Bog Central's national animal is the dodo bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dubloon.

No ones lived long enough to start a rebellion and anyone who speaks out is silenced. We are stern. Stern but fair.

  54. Following a tragic double-murder, capital punishment has surged as an election issue. There now appears a real possibility that right-wing candidate Falala Longbottom, running on a "Do the Crime, pay the Penalty" platform, will gain power. While society's intelligentsia is outraged, debate rages as to whether the government should intervene.

Its Civil Rights are very Good, the Economy is strong, and the political freedoms are below average. So everything else is well, people are happy with their freedom and income tax is a little high @ 19% but crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate, oops! I guess i should have payed a little more attention to what I was filling out when I was making my country.

    my nation is the kingdom of Ken it was weird making my own country and the civil rights are very good the economy is strong & the political freedoms are excellent. these are all things that i think we all want to see in our real-world nations, but things tend to get moer and more complicated, just as they do in the game. my police orce is being cut down due to high mortality, and theis is resulting in a higher crime ratre. everything was going good until this happend and ithink its going to start the downward spiral, because now the government might eed to get involved and then i have a feeling strike will begin...

  65. The name of my nation is Rahahasaassa(I couldn't think of a name.)Strangly enough, the country has very few civil rights, the economy is weak, and the crime rate is extremely high. This is not the ideal country at all. Next time I think I should read the questions before strongly agreeing to almost everything.
