OOC: I try to make an unbiased analysis, but I must admit it is biased towards competitive but limited government services, such as where people can choose their own doctors/schools, but costs are subsidized.


Swilata

Analysts perceive that there is large-scale cooperation or ownership of the private road networks by the automobile industry as those two industries are mutually dependent on each other.

The high crime rate could be caused by the prison system's failure to reintegrate prisoners into society after they serve their terms, forcing them to become career criminals.

The education system is surprisingly standardized despite a lack of any oversight or regulation. Presumably the education system may have once been regulated or state controlled, then privatized for such a system to occur. Although it is also possible (but unlikely) that an business association of schools was created to standardize enrollment and graduation. Although this conclusion is not supported by the fact that some schools use two divisions, and others use three divisions, creating difficulty for students graduating from primary or middle school.

The large scale of privatization makes it difficult for modern day citizens to climb the social ladder, possibly requiring many generations. This is due to the fact that the better schools requires expensive tuition, putting high-quality education out of reach of the poor, possibly creating a "class" society of those perpetually poor, and those who are rich. For those who are truly poor, schools resemble less as education, and more of a childcare facility. Schools in rural small villages are most likely run by a small-limited staff, the teachers are possibly paid directly by parents, and possibly receive funding and supplies from national church or charity organizations.

Assuming most sectors of the economy are privatized:

Rural areas most likely devoid of many services such as reliable and cheap postal service, paved roads, electricity, clean water, health-care (although rural health-care is a problem in most countries with privatized health-care) and high school-level education. The best description of rural life would be a comparison to a more hellish version of rural Appalachia in the US. Because of this, the country is most likely to be dependent on foreign food imports for feeding it's populace as rural citizens would emigrate to a better life in the cities, along with the likelihood that rural infrastructure (rather the lack thereof) prevents modern agricultural production.

Amigard

Amigard possess a very conformist society, which may produce issues when immigrants try to integrate within it. It is possible that immigration is banned.

The fact that Amigard lacks the capacity to harvest much of it's own natural resources implies that it is a poor country with strict limitations on foreign investment or that there are strong environmental laws, inhibiting raw material extraction. The possiblity that Amigard is a poor country is made unlikly by the fact that it's military uses advanced modern military equipment, which is far from cheap.

The fact that the army can easily double it's numbers from 1% of the population to 2% during the threat of war implies that all citizens are subject to conscription, and may be called up at a later point in their lives (similar to Israel). Much of the navy and the air force must likely exist in a moth balled state during peacetime in order for peacetime manpower to be half.

It is a possibility that a large protest movement exists, given that free speech is well respected by the government, and the glaring issue that the Ley Council provides very little representation to the people, given that the church has the final say in all decisions over laws. The protest movement may have created the impetus for the Ley Council. It is a possiblity that there are secular terrorist groups, caused by alienated youth literally rebelling, but there's no evidence to support that.

Jesus Christ Imeriata! That's a big factbook. I'll give you a rain check on that analysis.


New Emperica

The analysts are intrigued that Latin is a native tongue.

The analysts note that New Emperica appears to be a carbon copy of the United States. Except with more advanced weapons, more advanced technology and more people.

Given that the average income tax is 100% and the economy is privatized ... the entire economy must obviously rationed out to consumers, with the government deciding how much may be purchased, and the government, being the sole purchaser of goods, decides what may be sold/distributed.

Analysts believe the factbook to be propaganda.

GEORGISM

We estimate that Georgism is a nation of one citizen. One delusional citizen who believes he rules his own country. The second "supposed" citizen must obviously be imaginary. Since if output per capita = £100, budget = £100, and taxations = 100%....

Okay.. the factbooks are getting progressively bizarre. I'm afraid to even examine the next factbook and must take a break.

[Imeriata]

Jesus Christ Imeriata! That's a big factbook. I'll give you a rain check on that analysis.

Well sorry about that, I maybe should have warned you.

[Fatatatutti]

Okay.. the factbooks are getting progressively bizarre. I'm afraid to even examine the next factbook and must take a break.

Fatatatutti is a very normal, non-bizarre, laid-back tropical paradise. Our factbook is here.

Ooooh.

Still not done with it, though...

[Rich and Corporations]

General analysis for many many countries: Countries which allow banks to print private currencies have to deal with the problem that there is a ton of currencies which all look different and could be easily counterfeited.

The analysts heads explode. Huh. Whaddya know? It does get more bizarre.

The analysts find that a large underground criminal economy must be fueled by human and narcotics trafficking due to bans on public sales of slaves, alchohol, and pot.

They also find your country to be very boring, except for widespread cloning. Despite the difficulties cloning imposes on property claims (which Robert Smith?) (although this can be resolved with fingerprint records and inventories), it can create a fun time. They anticipate fun with twins/triplets/centuplets in their next vacations.

They find it strange that the President can declare "Marshall" law. They suspect that this is some sort of economic development plan.

On a final note, it seems contradictory that people may marry when their twelve, but they can't hop on top of eachother until their eighteen. Although the analysts believe the age of consent law, as in many other countries, is poorly enforced in the majority of cases.

The analysts do not like Communist/communal countries. That is because in those countries, the food you put in the workplace refrigerator is more likely to be communally shared.

They do like buying the occaisional imported fruit wine from Fatata-eh-whatever every so often.

They are concerned that it appears as if diplomatic baggage is subject to search and seizure in Fatatatutii. How else would Fatatutti authorities be able to prevent guns from entering the country?

They find it strange that an entire armaments factory is hidden behind a dry cleaning shop. This must imply that everyone does not wash their own clothes, and instead takes their clothes to the dry cleaners in order for dry cleaning shops to be so big.

They find it strange that Fatatatulli Neutrality laws prevent Fatatulli troops from entering foreign soil, but private paramilitary organizations in Fatatatulli may intervene on foreign soil. Typically most countries have it the other way around.

The analysts find it funny that in the Living Freedom Land factbook, rights are enumerated, but there seems to be very few restrictions upon the government. Privacy as a right is uncertain since a warrant must first be obtained for a judge, which brings into question how independent the judicial system is.

They also find it strange that a major political party is involved in a national restaraunt chain. They aren't sure whether or not corruption is involved.

The large dependence on private military companies implies that those companies are currently being held on retainer, otherwise they can charge whatever prices they want during a real emergency.

The government's dependence on property taxes most likely creates hardship during economic depressions, as citizens must struggle to pay.

While many other analysts will call Living Freedom Land an uncultured backwater, Corporate Confederate analysts analysing your nation have bought tickets to see the snake fighting matches there, and to visit art galleries of dogs playing poker.

The national education system is effective in producing high-school educated workers, but the analysts are unsure that the country can produce enough doctors or other college-educated professionals to meet it's own needs, given the lack of information on private scholarship programs, etc. It is likely the country relies on immigration for college-educated individuals. These immigrants will probably become rich, and possibly hated.

Aha! The first casualty in the War against you has been struck. Prepare to be subjugated. Those that resist will be sterilized. Obedience brings Victory, Victory is Life! For the Gory of Balam! For the Favor of Baal! ATTACK!!!!!!

[New Amerik]

You need to observe not just one, but THREE pieces of evidence!

Factbook, Vasquailand, and Inventions, just to ensure you know how my awesomely maniacal country works.

[Rich and Corporations]

Drat. I'm being squeezed out by all my competitors who have followed my idea.

They read the factbook. The take note of Saurisian history, and are driven mad by the descriptions of hot incestuous 20-ton animal on animal action.

Since the currency is entirely in coins, it must be very heavy to carry around, especially in bulk. No doubt bank robbers will have difficulty with that issue.

Have a crack at mine (link in my sig).

There's a link in the signature. Well, two of them. Choose the fun one.
