how would you run a real country?

by **Curiosityness** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:05 pm

nation states and plenty of other games have got me thinking. if you were the president/king/queen or whatever else their is. how would you run an actual country? would you be more liberl, conservative, eco-friendly, pacifist, communist, dictatorship, religious, democracy, and what kind of laws would you put in place?

Badly.

by **Disserbia** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:06 pm

I would not.

by **Ostroeuropa** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:08 pm

By proxy of my elected representative.

Implying I'm not already ruling one

I'd like to think I'd do a good job, but I don't feel like I'd do foreign policy well.

by **Volkern Halten Reich** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:23 pm

I can.

by **Communist Wollongong** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:23 pm

If I have controls to make nessacary reforms I should be able to run it fine.

I would probably do half decently, I know the ins and outs of foreign politics. I'd probably run a Dictatorship with a semi-Socialist economy, having the government control key industries that can't manage themselves. Other than that, Laissez-Faire

by **FoxTropica** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:27 pm

Probably badly.

I'd set out with what I'd consider reasonable goals, but probably fail in implementation and economics. I'd certainly make efforts to get as much advice as possible to try and compensate, though.

Much like Meinkraft. The flag too.

I would leave the Nation to be run by some form of military council while i established an enermous personality cult around myself and lived in extravagant luxury.

Hey...Atleast im honest

I would be a socialist dictator though not an oppressive one.

God, that scared me half to death. :rofl:

I think I'd do a decent job at leading a country. Certainly better then the soft-headed invalids America's had in office as of lately. Not that I hate any of them personally, but as leaders, they should have just stuck to their social organizations.

Certainly my domestic policy would trump Obama's by a nautical mile. Our domestic manufacting would be much more competitive (nothing a slight boost in tariffs can't fix C:), none of this foolish "Gun Control Debate would be going on, as I would instate a new constitution that would illegalize the illegalization and enforcement of concealed carry. So, nobody's forced to have a gun, and anybody can have them (of course, though, there would be stricter regulation on their sale). Also, this Socialist National Healthcare System is a load of crap. That really needs to go (saying this as a former economic socialist myself :roll:

).

Our soldiers wouldn't be being killed overseas fighting a war over Oil (that we should instead be fighting for our independance from, anyways :palm:

), and that half-witted Reps vs Dems argument would be no longer, rather them both hating me for challenging their powers at every turn and questioning their logic in having 3.4 times the average US Salary and wondering where all the money is going.
I'd would make sure that people who are fully able to work but instead want to live off of welfare get good-paying jobs instead of living off the money of everyone else (with the exception of the mediaclly disabled), and just to keep that up, increase the minimum wage to accompany inflation. The educational system could use a bit of work, too...
Hopefully somewhere in there I'd be able to lower taxes on all classes... depends on the amount of additional profit that the economy develops under my administration.

by **America Resurgent** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:52 pm

It would, to some extent, depend on which country, and whether or not I was magically granted dictator powers.

I've made a whole lot of posts in other threads detailing specific subsets of these.

by **New Sapienta** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:57 pm

Let other people handle the economy completely and focus on civil and foreign affairs.

by **Umbra Ac Silentium** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:58 pm

<- like that but less taxes

by **Hungry** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:58 pm

by **Torcularis Septentrionalis** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:03 pm

I'd be timid as fuck.

by **Pendo** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:05 pm

I would enter with good ideas and goals but then I would just become lazy and my country would probably get very angry XD

by **Ensiferum** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:17 pm

Judging from real life experience I'd say I could handle it. Wouldn't be the best but far better than most idiots these days
