Leading cause of death in your nation?

Postby Evilbanana » Tue Mar 20, 2012 1:47 am

What is the leading cause of dead in your nation, and could you explain why it is that way?

Mine is cancer because nuclear power is our main power source, and the power plants are everywhere. However our nuclear power plants contain massive radiation leaks, causing people to get cancer.

Don't steal. The government hates competition.


Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason

What does a Mexican air conditioner and a politician have in common. They both make really loud noises but don't work very well

The leading cause of death in Havl is book stack collapses (22%). Tourists are advised to visit our libraries only in case of emergency.

The leading cause of death in Brodyland is old age (88% of deaths). Because we have a pretty good universal healthcare system. And, you know, people eventually die and shit.

Old age is the leading cause of death here, but surprise snail attack is probably the most humorous.
The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth.

here i agree almost completely with the game stats. i seem to recall its something like 99% old age/natural causes. and one percent, lion-bear 'attacks'. well our lion bears don't exactly "attack", but, starvation from wandering disoriented from their psionic induced illusions, could, i suppose, be in some ways concidered an equivelant.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

10% - Old Age
24% - 'Alien' or Communist Abductions
17% - Mechanical failure (about 1/5th of our Nation comprises of 'Super-Human' Technology, keeping people alive through the use of technical enhancements.)
49% - War. We are currently at war with many Nations that oppose the Reich. We are also at war with Sarah Palin. She ate one of our ministers.

Getting killed. Because unlike your tyrannical nations, we believe that everyone should have the right to kill uninvited guests.

Closely followed by malnutrition and related things, because starving is the main reason you become an uninvited guest.

Heart Disease - 32%
Cancer - 21%
Old Age - 19%
Murder - 13%
Exposure - 12%
Scurvy - 2%

As I recall, for awhile death was almost exclusively attributable to old age, with some acts of God thrown in. Then I took the direction of government doing jack shit for every situation. I'm done with that now though and am steering in the direction of a nation I would want to be a citizen of. We shall see what results.

Old age is the leading cause of death, and the second most common is disease of some sort. Luckily, murder rates are very low, and social reforms mean that there's very few people who are starving on the streets - if at all.

1. Old age - 80% - Considering our GDP Per Capita and tech level, life expectancy is currently 71 for men and 73 for women.
2. Lost in wilderness - 16% - We have extensive wilderness, especially Teutanheim's Black Forest and the Steppe of eastern Unamedistan.
3. Suicidse while in police custody - 3% - Our police are brutal.
4. War - 1% - There is still a small insurgency in Besdinia we're trying to end.

The leading cause of death in the United States is the sudden catastrophic discontinuation of vital bodily functions.

Most people in Fatatatutti live to a ripe old age. Since we have a lot of wilderness areas, there is a tendency to get lost in them but we don't necessarily equate "lost" with "dead".

Since the four food groups in Fatatatutti are bacon, ham, barbecued spare-ribs and anything wrapped in bacon, there is a bit of a problem with heart disease. On the other hand, there is also a lot of fresh fruit in out diet (sometimes wrapped in bacon).

Fruit wrapped in bacon? We must visit this nation of yours someday. Bacon is a gift to man from God.

wut? You must have an appalling Nuclear Infrastructure to let radiation escape into your population.

The leading cause of death in my nation is Old age/Euthenasia, the reason being is that the homeworld has a strict population cap as to not displace the natural order of things.
Therefore when the population begins to age volunteers of an older age are found (usually age 100+) to be deported to another system. If they wish they can be euthenised if they do not wish to depart from their homeland.

It sounds much more barbaric than it actually is.

The leading cause of dead is being dead.

And, in all seriousness, the leading cause of death is natural causes.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

By far the most commonly recorded cause of death on death certificates is old age. When old age is recorded as the cause of death, it is always as an underlying cause of death, with the immediate cause (such as pneumonia, dementia or another age-related disease) also recorded.
Makaar is ranked 323rd in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
Makaar is ranked 272nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).
Makaar is ranked 408th in the world for Nicest Citizens.
