Postby Conserative Morality » Fri Nov 27, 2009 12:30 pm

The Senatorial Republic of Conserative Morality is a massive, Xenophobic nation, formally by The Senate with a weak hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.877 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed, in which case they are pitied or spat on.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of near-powerless individuals crippled by a overly-strict constitution and trigger-happy constituents concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Roma. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume in most places, the nation refuses to provide international aid, 'barbarian' organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, and citizens must pay to enjoy Conserative Morality's few unspoiled beaches. Vigilante 'Justice' is a problem. Conserative Morality's national animal is the Raven, which is only seen in pictures and zoos, and its currency is the Denarii.

The United Communist States of Kulverint is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 709 million are ruled with a caring hand by the communist government, which ensures that no-one gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are free; this is because the government genuinely cares about its people.

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 Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derastüun. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is not illegal, but unpopular, and everybody likes it.

Nudity is banned, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to perfectly sane security procedures by government security, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and scientists do nothing that is questionable to anyone. End of. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulverint's national animal is the Orca, which is prefectly fine, and its currency is the Kulverintian Pound.

I have edited it as the Kulverintian President would have done if he had done it, here is the original:

The United Communist States of Kulverint is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 709 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derastüun. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Nudity is frowned upon, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulverint's national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Kulverintian Pound.

I RP exactly as my national page is written and according to all of the calculators - even when they disagree with each other. The primary function of government, after all, is to make excuses. Instead of just denying that crime is crippling, I tell you why that isn't a problem.

By the same token, I RP according to what all of your national pages and calculators say about you too. I don't believe a word of your denials.

The Plutocratic Shahdom of The Parthians is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Shah Khosru III with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.544 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are mercilessly exploited by corporations.

The Government, a shadowy collective of the Shahanshah and ministers concentrates mostly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. Income tax is 7.5%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Petroleum, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

The commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled The Parthians with a very polite populace, elections are banned, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is unheard of due to the all-pervasive police force and the habit of courts executing criminals by impalement. The Parthians's national animal is the Working Class, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Zoroastrianism, and its currency is the Rial.

The Empire State of Imperialist Reich is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Sareth Arringossa with the assistance of all Ministers of the Empire with an iron but fair fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol and dominant Catholic faith. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.507 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent parliament, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to cause a problem.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londinium and leaves with thoughts of having history in the making. The average income tax rate is 100% with the tax evaders taken to work camps. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling flavoured water and early gray tea in the town squares, although the government deems it interesting to see the private sector cope without Parliament help. This is currently bringing excellent work to our economy - and also helpful to the passing tired and thirsty pedestrian.

A small amount of newly made public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "sinners", children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces to defend themselves, their family and their nation, euthanasia is legal but only in extreme circumstances, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail due to there apparent "masterpieces" and a large rift between High Germania and the rest of the Empire is constantly growing - possibly threatening war. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare, although a tiny minority known as loudits roam the streets with the police and sometimes the Secret Service breathing down there necks. Imperialist Reich's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also an interesting in food, its national religion is the Catholic Faith which dominates many lives, and its currency is the Pound. The pound is the dominant currency of the Empire although there are a few other currencies.

It's actually pretty damn easy to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, because they wear pretty armbands that identify them as such. It concentrates mainly on Law & Order to keep the unwashed masses at bay, although Defence and Education are on the agenda because when the criminal justice system can't subjugate people, they rely on the military or the public school system. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verlorenen City because there's no room anywhere else.

A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Uranium Mining. Dangerous mixes between these industries have been reported.

Despite the conservative nature of Jordtopia, the ruling party is surprisingly pro-big government, much to the distress of citizens.

It is a crime punishable with a year in jail to insult any particular religion, drug distribution is controlled by the government, the Holy Office of the Jordtopian Inquisition is the highest court in the country, and water rationing is punishing large cities.

Other than imagine some remnant of a private sector (which the line after the tax rate does concede to me), I do try to RP in line with the issues as best I can.

The Feudal Socialist Magocracy of New Olwe is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Duke Jason Frost with an erratic yet mostly benevolent hand, and notable for its citizens' open use of magic. Its hot-blooded, sexually adventurous population of 1,026,103,000 enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alqualonde. The average income tax rate is 44%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is perfectly legal, but heavily regulated, with the Tourism and Sex industries being the most successful.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the tenet of free speech is held dear, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is minimal, due in large part to intensely brutal "karmic" punishments deterring most would-be criminals. New Olwe's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the guilder.
Magic-using nation here! I don't RP in MT.
I seem to have forgotten to post the part where my ambassador informs New Olwe's representative that we will help. I'll do that later, I hope. - Fortareata

Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Frightening (GDP/capita), Struggling (growth/quarter)
Political Freedoms: Rare

The Insanely Militant Federation of Steel and Fire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Mark Hopkins with a rather careless hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent, and unusually well-armed population of 10.528 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The small and unobtrusive government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 27%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, euthanasia is legal, all tariffs have been abolished, and Steel and Fire's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, largely because the lack of a well-organized police force leads people to pursue their own form of "justice". Steel and Fire's national animal is the golden eagle, which has been more or less wiped out by nuclear testing, and its currency is the IOU.

The Holy Empire of Ocasnia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its quiet, industrious population of 96 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, all beauty contests have been banned, religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocasnia's national animal is the blackbird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the vobis.

Ocasnia is ranked 31st in the region and 14,818th in the world for Largest Manufacturing Sector.

The Socialist Nation of Bengera is a huge, socialist nation, ruled by Fredrick Trotshev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its huge military. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 849 million have some civil rights, but not too many, are not allowed to use their money as they please, and don't take part in free and open elections.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence andf Commerce, with areas such as the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 31%, and is the same for the wealthy. Any sdort of private enterprise is illegal. The government is strictly socialist and owns everything.

The government has enacted freedom of information, the Bengera Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, Fredrick Trotshev is this year's Miss Bengera, and the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bengera's national animal is the fox, which mainly exists in zoos, and its currency is the Deral.

ORIGINAL
The Free Bears of Bears Armed is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Chairbear of the High Council with a fair hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.589 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Council Groves. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Tourism, and Gambling industries.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, citizens select which government department gets their income tax thalers each year, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, and teenage fathers are forced to join the army. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bears Armed's national animal is the goldilocks, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is One plus Seven, and its currency is the thaler.


REWRITE

The Confederated Clans of the Free Bears of Bears Armed is a comfortably sized, environmentally stunning nation (divided into two distinct sections, hundreds of miles apart, travel between which — unless one passes through other nations’ territories — requires using a set of ancient & [probably] magical ‘Gates’…), disputes between whose constituent societies are settled by the High Council of Clans with a firm but fair hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky (and yet often quite 'spiritual') natives as well as for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent and predominantly Ursine population of somewhere between 18 million & 19 million billion are effectively governed by the leaderships of their separate Clans, who are elected or otherwise chosen in ways that may differ from group to group, and can enjoy access to world-class goods and services if they are willing to work hard enough. Quite a few of those people, however, choose to lead a simpler life instead.
The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although the precise details of these are yet another matter that can differ from Clan to Clan.

The small, traditionally-minded, pro-freedom government is mainly responsible for handling Defence and Foreign Policy, with little direct control over any other aspects of policy actually within the nation itself. It meets quite often to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Council Groves. Taxation is one of the many aspects of government that is handled at the level of the separate Clans, rather than nationally, but is generally no more than 20-25%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Sweetener Production, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Gambling industries.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, people are generally more loyal to their specific Clans than they are to the nation as a whole, what people are paid tends to depend on how well they actually do their jobs, and most of the Clans maintain their own well-regulated militias. Crime is surprisingly rare, thanks to the efficient police work of the traditional & mobile cross-clan 'warrior societies' (which outsiders, including the WA, sometimes mistake for ‘biker gangs’…) and conservative social policies in education and welfare. Bears Armed's national animal is the goldilocks, which is also one of the nation's favourite main courses, its main 'national' religion is ‘One plus Seven’ (as far as any religious element that 'national' ceremonies contain is concerned, although freedom of religion is otherwise guaranteed), and although barter is still quite common in rural areas it has a currency whose main coin is called the 'thaler'.



Main Changes
1/. The "real" population level is a lot lower than the game would actually allow me to claim, because apart from anything else the nation occupies specified portions of the IDU's regional map and there simply wouldn't be enough room there for a much larger population to live comfortably.
2/. I've altered or added various points because of the fact that this 'nation' is actually a fairly loose confederation rather than (as the game assumes) a more unitary state.
3/. The country isn't actually as 'developed' as the game assumes, because although what industry there actually is tends to be doing well a majority of the population still lives in fairly rural settings and quite a few of them actively prefer to live a 'simple' life. (The "environmentally stunning" label is one that the game agrees this nation is entitled to but that just isn't showing in the official description at the moment.)

Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years. If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.
