Why Should Tourists Visit Your Nation?... Or Not?

[Santouria]

For what reason should people visit your country? or Why should they stay far away?

[The Fascist American Empire]

Why to see our incredible natural scenery off course. As well as the city of Gallifrey, which is mostly-open to the public.

[Margno]

Come here and people will be nice to you.

[Koshkarus]

Human tourists should avoid the KSFSR, because we enslave them.

[Icrum]

It's cool and snowy. And cool.

[Alizeria]

Behold Alizeria - the land of top hats and umbrellas, grey skies and horizontal rain, the island nation in the southern Occidental Ocean where sheep outnumber people by five to one.

For hundreds of years Alizeria has existed peacefully and quietly, on the edge of the Cornellian Empire, but its quirky traditions, eccentric people and reputation for hospitality are known far beyond its shores. (Admittedly, not quite far enough beyond its shores to reach anywhere inhabited by humans, but we're trying!)

In a world weary of war, and tired of terror, the peace and tranquillity of the Kingdom await you! There has never been a better time to visit!

Don your finest coat, put on your hat and unfurl your umbrella - because the Kingdom of Alizeria invites you!

What to see:



The Abnormal Stone of Clynesdown

Situated in the southern part of County Belslough, just three hours south of Krostuk lies the famous and sometimes revered Abnormal Stone of Clynesdown.

What is it about that stone that has captured the imaginations of generation of Alizerians and of foreign tourists? Is it the fact that it's bigger than all the other stones in the area? Is it the fact that it's shaped like a square when most other stones are more rounded? Is it the fact that it's really heavy and so in the 600 years since it was first seen no one has bothered moving it?

Well yes - it's all that and more!

The Famous Spitting Hole of Haroldsville

Since the late 1970s, travellers in County Albion have been stopping at this famous hole on the side of the motorway to spit into it!

It's not known why this tradition began - or how it spread. But what is known is that there is a hole, and that people like to spit in it.

And for only a $25 admission fee, you too can be part of history and spit in the hole! Buy the T-shirt and bring the whole family... or should we say "bring the hole family"!

The Great Shack of Shepton

Every country has its famous monument, its building that shows off its people's architectural prowess.

Well in Alizeria, that building can be found in County Avonhead - yes that's right, we're talking about the Great Shack of Shepton. Designed by a farmer in either the 1770s, 1870s or possibly 1970s (no one is quite sure), the Great Shack served as one of Alizeria's finest hotels until the passage of the Buildings and Accommodation Act in 1936, after which it was considered no longer fit for human habitation.

While some have criticised the Great Shack in the past, originally labelling it an 'eyesore', it has come to be accepted that there is a great artwork hidden within its shambolic facade and that the building could be considered a work of art and item of historical and cultural importance in its own right.

What to do:

Sheep shearing

Do you like sheep? No wait, what sort of a question is that. Of course you like sheep. Everyone likes sheep. Only queers and atheists don't like sheep.

Well Alizeria is a sheep enthusiast's dream come true! It's difficult to move for all the sheep - they are the backbone of the economy, and until the late 20th century sheep were used as everything from pets, to food, to transportation!

While holy law now prohibits people from eating sheep, and also from becoming romantically involved with them, the town of Vomiton in County Christchurch is well known for its annual sheep shearing competition!

But if you do go to the competition, remember to book in well in advance to avoid the crowds. Last year almost six people turned up at once!

Hymn singing

The Church of Alizeria is central to all parts of Alizerian life, and has been since it was founded in 1198. As such no trip to Alizeria is complete without a trip to the local church.

Don't worry about the fact that you don't believe in their religion - one of the central tenets of the Church of Alizeria is tolerance and peace. And unlike other "Brand X" religions, there's no collection plate in services - the church is paid for by general taxation!

So why not have a sing-a-long, meet the locals and spend several mind-numbing hours listening to a geriatric priest drone on and on about the scriptures? Look, it'll keep you out of the rain for a couple of hours, anyway.

Drinking

Alizerians might come across as stuffy and prudish to some, but there's one thing they still have, and that's a healthy and borderline unhealthy appreciation of alcohol!

A local pub is almost as essential as a church in any settlement, but drinking is best done in the cities - whether you're in Auckonto enjoying an orange cider, or in Norskeburg sampling a lager.

But the place to drink above and beyond them all is in Krostuk, Alizeria's capital city. With a population of just over a million people, Krostuk is home to over a quarter of Alizeria's total population.

And because life in the capital is so much more stressful than in the counties, Krostukites know how to wind down, and some of them even know how to party, though let's not go overboard here or encourage that sort of carry-on.

So why not drink the night away in merriment, at the many bars and pubs on Krostuk's waterfront - as any Alizerian would tell you, it might just help you forget about the fact that you're in Krostuk.

[Benum Landum II]

CEO's of big corporations will love our corporate-friendly policies.

[Terrad]

You should visit because you can hike, see mighty Trottenberg and the statue in the water just outside of Trottenberg, try scor-pie-on, go to Royalton and do fun water activities, visit a zoo, visit science labs, see the beautiful environment.

[Arab Jamahiriyahs]

The deserts are an attraction, but we only welcome Eastern Europeans, Asians, other Arabs, other Muslims, Jews who aren't Zionists, Communists and anti–imperialists.

[Stormaen]

Bacon.

Not that silly streaky American crap (though that is available) but the proper British bacon.

[Anollasia]

We are a popular tourist destination, spend a lot of our money on tourism, have lots of touristic areas, plenty of museums, forests, parks, beaches, etc.

Not many reasons to stay away.

[Dooom35796821595]

Majestic cities, a polite populace, zero crime and lots of attractions.

However as we don't trade in foreign currencies tourists must trade resources for monies. The exchange rate can be requested from the Department of the Treasury.

[The Allied Society of Reblia]

Uh...well...Icarus City is known to be the finest establishments of gambling in the world! Gambling is banned every where else though.
In fact a lot of things are banned.
Maybe you shouldn't come here....

[Greater Mackonia]

No.

Because political turmoil, civil war, martial law, paramilitary executions in the dead of night, blatant propaganda, military juntas, mass arrests, loyalty parades, crypto-fascist dictators, public decapitations, autocratic government, daily terrorist attacks, politically motivated assassinations and bad towels tend to put people off.

The towels especially.

[Blakullar]

You'd do well to be a cyborg before visiting the Mechanocracy. If for some reason you can't do that, we can easily upgrade you to superior standard. We'll even do it for free, since we're going to conquer your country soon anyway, so you might as well get used to it extra nice to tourists.

No.

Because political turmoil, civil war, martial law, paramilitary executions in the dead of night, blatant propaganda, military juntas, mass arrests, loyalty parades, crypto-fascist dictators, public decapitations, autocratic government, daily terrorist attacks, politically motivated assassinations and bad towels tend to put people off.

Actually, this sounds like a really fun tourist destination. Were it not for the bad towels, it'd be a lot better.

[Tolstois]

Tolstois has a number of different large ghost towns that inhabit the empty country. These are the most popular tourist destinations, from the capital, Zhyciettya, to the northwestern island town, Ostriv. Tolstois is also primarily filled by prairies and thick, dense forests with wildlife of all kinds.

[Albynia]

The wonders of nature, our historic capitol city, the cuisine, and the friendly locals.

[Folycos]

Yes, for the beautiful mountains.
No, for the mining and industry.

[The Althing Confederacy]

While there is much to see and experience in the Althing (and they would love a "tourist trade"); Its hard enough for them to feed their own citizens under the new glacial conditions (hence why they reverted to a raiding culture).
Since foreigners are a drain they must bring A Lot of money as visitors (as opposed to immigrants) are openly charged a premium everywhere for everything!
Immigrants are accepted as Folk since they invest into the economy with (an admittedly Large) immigration fee. Those immigrants without the funds are rarely accepted without "mad skills" in some needed area.

[Tyrinth]

Exploring formerly populated wasteland cities is always fun! You should come to Tyrinth and do so!

[Wyrdworld]

Daemonic orgies, constant fights for dominance, Faeries engaging in extremely polite debates that actually cause physical damage to the loser, Utukku attempting to kill everything including each other, and generally massive amounts of sex, violence and mayhem.

I am not sure if I just described why people should come or if I described why they should stay away. Hmm. Personally, I think the whole situation is quite fun. A few more swords have been driven into in my eyeballs than I'd like, but all non-lethal injuries recover instantly when battle ends here so it isn't that big a deal.

[Gandoor]

Well tourists should visit Gandoor if they're a fan of a nation filled with humans who are genuinely friendly, polite, and compassionate. We've also got a lot of things like museums and other touristy places to visit. If you're into pop culture like anime or video games, we got a lot of fan conventions and other things for that too. We also have some of the best weather in the world.

Now as for why you shouldn't visit Gandoor? Well I guess if you're like right-wing and don't like the fact that Gandoor is an extremely left-wing nation with legalized marijuana, a population that's mostly non-religious, and is very LGBT-friendly, and has many people who dress in clothing usually viewed as meant for the other gender, you might not want to visit us.

[Kalifati Arab shqiptar]

We have weed, and a beatiful countryside

[Escanthea]

We are surprisingly stunning in terms of environment, sit in the shade of an olive tree eating grapes on a beautiful Mediterranean day with the sun on your cheeks and the wind blowing through the grass and all that shit. If you're a liberal (classical or modern) you'll absolutely hate the absolute monarchy, the police state, and the relatively conservative values (We don't ban gay marriage or contraception but we hate furfags and trans-whatevers).

[Lolloh]

Lolloh has great scenery in untouched wilderness, and some of the best weather in the world!

And don't forget the cities! They're clean, low on crime, and public transportation will get you almost anywhere!

Speaking of transportation, take this opportunity abroad to purchase a hydrogen fuel-cell car! Starting at just Ty8 000, they're cheap, easy to refuel, and won't blow up unless you want them to!

Finally, there's the great fun of animals! Who doesn't want a cow to guide them through a milking, or a dragon ride across scenic plains, or just a nice talk with the local hamster? NO ONE!

So come on down and enjoy our lovely nature (not touchable), the easy and clean public transit, and, most important of all, DRAGON RIDES!
