That's neither an available nation nor a good app. Try again, with more detail on pretty much everything. Finally, do some research on the population, that's way off.

Description of Government:Democratic Centralism with all decisions being made by the party who are democratically elected.

Foreign Policy:

The machine of capitalist exploitation has long relied on imperialism to keep itself running. These adventures have cost millions of African lives along with a far greater number of those peoples’ our nation has been used as a tool to exploit. The Communist Party stands unequivocally opposed to all imperialist interventions, invasions and actions abroad by our own government and those of other core nations. In addition, because the atom ought to be used as a source of power and life, not a means of coercion and death, we propose unilateral nuclear disarmament. Nuclear arms serve no practical military purpose except to cause unnecessary human suffering.

However, this anti-militarist policy does not mean we desire a nation disinterested in external affairs. We support workers’ and liberation struggles across the globe. Giving aid and supplies to progressive and democratic forces is essential for us to help right the wrongs we have been party to as a nation. Similarly, the centuries of unfair and exploitative trade deals struck by our nation must be reversed. Viewing economics as a zero-sum game has been discredited since the age of Mercantilism. Economic prosperity in one part of the global economy is good for all except those who in our own society currently act as social parasites, benefiting from neo-colonialism. All future trade agreements must be on equal terms with other countries and development aid given which doesn't have crippling neoliberal strings attached. In light of recent outbreaks in Africa, as well as famines across the continent, is has become clear to this Party that the only way to progress as a society is to ensure that all peoples across the world have suitable protections from hunger and disease, thus ensuring that all of humankind can live in suitable and humane conditions.

Description of Economy:

Crisis after crisis besets capitalist economies. These are of course offset by the spoils and investment opportunities afforded by imperialism. But in the post-Cold War state of Ultra-Imperialism, accumulation by dispossession could no longer be limited to the periphery nations. The declining rate of profit has forced capital to seek ever-new areas to colonize leading to financialisation and the rise of fictitious capital. It is far more profitable for capitalists to loot our industry and public services than it is to invest in the creation of real value. Capitalism, an irrational and anarchic mode of production, has become autophagous.

This system is inherently unstable, and we see evidence of this instability through repeated failure and scandal. Consider the 2008 financial crisis, which was precipitated by the sale of toxic mortgage securities being passed off as healthy assets, or the ongoing Libor rate fixing, which has robbed pensioners and municipal governments of billions of pounds. The Libor bubble and gross manipulation of global commodities markets, ongoing under this very government will, when coupled with the many other bubbles in areas like municipal debt and the real estate markets in China and the United States, will likely cause a crisis far worse than that which we experienced in 2008.

As we saw in the recession, capitalist governments are beholden to no one but the capitalist class. Rather than provide assistance to those thrown out of work by the recession, governments bailed out the very thieves who through their mixture of avarice and incompetence, beyond even that which capitalism would by its very nature necessitate, caused the crisis in the first place.

To add insult to injury, European governments have demanded that its own citizens pay for the economic failures of capitalism by using austerity to gut what remains of hard-won social democratic concessions, and have coupled this with privatizations that have allowed capitalists to gut essential services like vultures. Austerity is not only an irrational economic policy, it is an assault on the working people of this land. Therefore, we say NO to bankrupt policies of austerity!

We Communists maintain that all profits derive from the blood and sweat of those who labour to make and distribute the wealth of this Earth. In order to protect the most vulnerable and exploited members of the toiling class, to give them the dignity they deserve, we demand that the minimum wage be pegged at 80% of the median income. Similarly, the gains in efficiency, used to force them out of work and drive down their wage, derive from their collective intellectual labour. So we also demand that the work-week be shortened to a maximum of 30 hours at comparable annual pay rates so the working class can enjoy more fully the fruits of the society it creates.

In order to reverse the decades of plundering by capitalists, all corporations previously owned by the state and natural resources must be immediately renationalised. However, unlike Labour, we will institute democratic management structures led by workers’ councils in these companies.

We also plan to transition all privately-held companies to worker-owned cooperatives managed by workers’ councils. While worker-owned co-ops, just as state-owned companies, are not inherently socialistic, they uniquely contain within themselves the means to promote worker autonomy and are a crucial foundation for the generalization of economic democracy.

Ultimately, we seek a world where wage labour is replaced by associated producers freely deciding on what, how and when they will produce in collaboration with other associations regarding the fulfillment of common social needs.

All inequalities in material provision are to be abolished other than those entailed in the principle of from each according to their capacities and to each according to their needs.

The distinction between necessary labour done for distant others and work undertaken in the reproduction of self, household and commune is gradually erased such that social labour becomes embedded in household and communal work becomes the primary form of unalienated and non-monetised social labour. A world is born where each individual is free to develop their faculties without compulsion to submit themselves to another, are able to find meaning in their work and to fully be able to enjoy the life of the community. This is the meaning of communism.

Description of Military

:we will demobilize all but 30,000 active duty soldiers and 20,000 reserves.On the basis of a socialist planned economy, demobilised soldiers will be rationally reallocated into new careers according to their skills. We condemn military redundancies under capitalism, where bombs are valued before the soldiers sent back to areas of high unemployment.

Additionally, taking the revolutionary Spanish forces, Red Army during the Russian Civil War and EZLN as our model, we will abolish military rank outside of combat. Officers shall be elected delegates from among the soldiers themselves and all soldiers shall be trained in military strategy and be expected to engage in combat if needed. No longer will the rigid caste system which has hampered our military for centuries continue.

Seeking to reduce the size of the military does not mean we Communists are starry-eyed idealists. Instead of a large standing army we will create popular militias. Every able-bodied citizen will be encouraged to train and be prepared to defend their country from counterrevolutionary invasion. Countries like Switzerland and Finland which maintain citizen-armies have been by and large successful at maintaining their independence and sovereignty. Unlike these countries however, we will not subject our people to the rigidity of active military service unless they specifically choose that career. The popular militias will have a similar structure to, and work closely in coordination with, the military but require much less obligation.

Our engagement with a peaceful road to socialism does not negate our commitment and obligation to uphold the self-defence of the working class against attacks by capital, property, and the state. The advocation of working class passivity when confronting a merciless class enemy does not lead to socialism.

Because police forces ultimately serve the owning class and are inimical to the workers we support the creation of community-based organizations for the protection of life, liberty, and possessions of workers and minorities. These groups would act in full accordance with applicable law provided there is no abrogation of democracy or rule-of-law. These organizations would come from local communities and serve at the behest of democratically elected councils.

Immediate goal of the nation: Have the Second election of the Communist Party of West Africa.

Read through it all, and it looks good. Accepted. I have, however, lowered your political rights a bit. Newly formed revolutionary states based on a single ideology or group of ideologies are never that politically free. Otherwise, everything looks good.

[Kargintina]

Country: The Scandinavian Confederation
Capitol: Stockholm
Leader: No central leader, as it is a Confederation and has representatives from every region:
Denmark: Aleksei Adalbert
Sweden: Abbi M Balthazar
Finland: Meier Niels
Greenland: Hoseas Telef
Iceland: Aaron Seimur
Norway: Gebhard Ølve
Faroe Islands: Bogi Artun
Scotland: Adair Paton
Karelia and St. Petersburg: Ivan Petrov
Baltics: Dmitri Kushkrev
Description of Government:

Heavily decentralized, the government is mostly run by small governships in the different areas, and the people have a huge amount of say, as they pick their representative in the council and can even boot them out. The government is completley Secular, but many traditional views are held in the heavily Christian areas of St. Petersburg and Scotland. In recent years, the government has underwent more centralized, much to the distaste of traditional areas who fear progressive laws will be passed on them.
The Representatives meet in Stockholm to discuss the views the people of their area have, and often have arguements. Whenever a law is put through six of the ten representatives must vote in favor of the law in order for it to go through, and then the people have to vote for the law to pass on their territory, certain obvious laws such as no murdering people and stealing are immediately inforced without question, but others have to pass judgement of the people. There is no official constitution, but the goverment is working on setting up sometype of system. The former kings of the certain kingdoms still exist to provide happiness to the people, but they hold no true power whatsoever.

Population: 31,000,000
Foreign Policy:

Nations such as the CIS and EU are very afraid of the Scandinavian Confederation as it poses a threat to their world power status, especially CIS as the Scandinavians recently proved they can deal out a good strike on them. The Scandinavian-CIS border is one of the most guarded on Earth, but the USNA border in the UK is lightly guarded, as the Scandinavians hold good relations with them.

Scandinavia has no intention for war with the EU, but constantly watches to see any signs of incoming attack or war, as the Scandinavians are very eary of their southern neighbor. Countries like the PRC or the South American Federation pose no threat to the Scandinavians, but Scandinavia still watches to see what happens.

Civil Freedoms (/10): 8/10
Political Freedoms (/10): 9/10
Description of Economy:

Extremely Capitalist, with basically no elements of Socialism or Communism whatsoever. Scandinavia uses the "Skand" similar to the EU's Euro. Industrialization is not very common, and the economy is very agricultural as the Southern Scandinavian Peninsula has lots of fertile farmland. The oil industry is by far the largest in Scandinavia, and they rake in billions every year.
The government holds little control over business, and the GDPPC is very high. The businesses are free to make products as they please as long as they don't promote terrorism or rebellion against the government. Other industries such as gaming and automotive do fairly well, but most have to shipped in from the EU and USNA, due to the lack of factories in Scandinavia.

Description of Military:

Scandinavian soldiers receive decent training, and are mostly dug in for a defensive war. They mainly focus on technology over manpower, thus their military is not as good as that of the USNA, EU or PRC. Enlisted men: 100,000 enlisted, 70,000 reserve, 7 million fit for military service. The standard issue rifle is the AK7, and the MBT is the Stridsvagn-200, a vastly superior version of the Stridsvagn 122, which made short work of Russian tanks during the Karelia War.
The chain of command passes down from the council, to the Allmänts, to the regional commanders, to the Captains, and then to the grunts.
Numbers:
423 Stridsvagn-200s MBTs
351 Stridsfordon 99 LAVs
140 JAS-40 Gripen 2s
10 Jas-77 Unmanned Jet Fighters
45 Saab Skeldar Recon drones
60 Helikopter 27 Attack Helicopters

Immediate goal of the nation: Centralize the government and strengthen power on the world stage.

Yes. It is called the South Asia Commonwealth.

[Skappola]

Is the brotherhood supposed to be a direct theocracy or like Iran?

I left it purposely vague to let you decide. It could really be either, though if it were a direct theocracy it would likely take the title of Sunni Caliphate. I think a muslim republic akin to Iran would be more realistic, but a direct theocracy could also work if it were lead by a particularly charismatic Caliph.

I left it purposely vague to let you decide. It could really be either, though if it were a direct theocracy it would likely take the title of Sunni Caliphate.

Well I do think it would be more like Iran. The supreme leader has the power but is supported by the Majlis and is elected by an assembly of experts.

I agree that it is more realistic to work similar to Iran's system. It would also be more stable in the modern world than other forms of theocracy.

CODE: SELECT ALL
Country: The Sunni Brotherhood of the Middle East and North Africa
Capitol: Mecca
Leader: The supreme guide/Masul Fahd Munir Saqqaf
Description of Government: The brotherhood is lead by the supreme Guide who is the leading member of the Sunni brotherhood. The SG is the highest political office and religious office in the brotherhood and has the power to appoint and dismiss leaders of judiciary, the state radio and television networks. The supreme guide is also the head of the military and is the only one who can declare war and peace. In order to become the Supreme guide one has to have Islamic scholarship and be the leader of the Sunni brotherhood itself. The supreme leader is elected by the assembly of experts which is made up of Mutjahids who are knowledgable in how to interpret the Sharia laws. The Supreme guide is then supported by the Shura council an democratically elected parliament which is the legislative body of the government.
Population: 519,817,000
Foreign Policy: The Brotherhood is hostile to both Iran and Israel which it considers threats to the Brotherhood and it's sunni inhabitants. As for the EU and the USNA the brotherhood watches them with suspicious eyes as the USNA and EU have both been opponents to Islam before. The nations the brotherhood is closest to is the commonwealth and China.
Civil Freedoms (/10): 6
Political Freedoms (/10): 4-5
Description of Economy: The economy of the brotherhood is a varied one. The Arabian parts are still based around the exportation of oil while the more modernized cities like Cairo are manufacturing centers which exports cheap gods. The brotherhood is still dependent on the importation of more modern gods however and the level of exports and imports are decided by the supreme Masul.
Description of Military: The military is a large force having over 2 million active with 2,5 million reserves. The military is not especially advanced using many old weapons designed for desert and mountain warfare. The military is however feverishly patriotic and religious thus making morale a minor problem. The weapons are mostly Russian, American and Chinese of origin making for a diverse force.
Immediate goal of the nation: Make sure Iran can not threaten the Sunni's of the world an potentially unite the Islamic world under one Pan-Islamic government. Maybe destroy Israel on the way to. Establish stability in the Middle East and the territories owned by the brotherhood.
