NSBalls!

Postby Huntertopia » Tue Dec 10, 2013 6:42 pm

So, I've noticed that countryballs are rising in popularity on FB, so I thought it'd be cool to do it on here. All other threads for these kinda things have sort of died, so my time to shine! :P

Here's a very, very small example of what I can do. I hope to get more people interested in helping or requesting so I can make a gallery.

Since you're taking requests, I'd like to request you make a Cesatarball.
Nation name: Cesatar
Government type: Social Democracy combined with a Technological Singularity.
Economic policy: Socialist.

Enemies: Cesatar hasn't really had any true enemies, but threatened military action against Molsona when the latter attempted to pass the Amended Religious Purity Act due to Molsona's rampant bigotry against non-Catholics. Cesatar's response can be found on page 5 of the thread, slightly more than halfway down. Many a giggle was 'ad during Molsona's epic meltdown.
Colonies/Nations in sphere of influence: none.
Hobbies: Having a 100 out of 100 Economy rating; genetic modification; cybernetic modification; Transhumanism; Socialism; having a standing army of fifty million; Cesatarball can into space; being rated minus 475 on the pacifism index; legalizing Marijuana; Post-Modern Tech; laughing at Molsona's aforementioned meltdown; robots.

Also, if you end up making Cesatarball, do you think you could shoot me a telegram if you do?

Totalitarianism: 55

"Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a contemplative realist with few strong convictions.
