Re: Nations.....

Awesome! Welcome to the fold!


"Well, maybe this nation does have something we need, sir," says Calvin Shiomi, your Military Advisor, while perusing a giant map of Seventeenth. "We're fast running out of land and resources here, so why not invade this place, kick out whoever's in power there, and take over? We've got the military power, so why wait? If any of those hippies in the region have somethin' to say about it, they can say hello to our missile programmes, haha!"


lol my nation is going to invade another nation!! Gosh Mr Shiomi..... Has got a good head on dem shoulders.

Hey, welcome! How about giving us a link to your nation so we can see what you're up to? Here's my nation.

Here's my latest issue. I had to dismiss the dang thing. Don't like none of them choices here in A Bazillion Choices:
The Issue

A top fertility clinic has recently announced a new service allowing parents to create so-called 'designer babies'.
The Debate
  1. "Embryo selection isn't really genetic engineering in the technical sense," explains Dr. Buffy Silk, owner of the Babies-2-Go Clinic. "It's more like being able to have a dozen abortions per month until you get the foetus you desire. I can't really see what's wrong with parents who can afford it being able to eliminate foetuses with undesirable genetic traits - like stupidity."
    [Accept]
  2. "Thou shalt pay for thy sins!" screams Beth Summers, waving a crucifix. "This is just meddling with the sanctity of life. If these children are to be born with horrible defects then it's God's will and who are we to question it? This technology must be banned at once!"
    [Accept]
  3. "This technology shows promise," muses George W. Rubin, minister of health. "But we can't trust the private sector with the future of our nation's children. We must place it under strict government regulation, so that we only screen out embryos with serious genetic conditions."
    [Accept]
  4. "This has got me thinkin'," says General Abraham Rubin, thumbing through a big folder marked 'X'. "If this technology lets us reduce genetic defects, then couldn't it work the other way? We could create ourselves an army of genetically superior soldiers! With our army of Super Soldiers, no nation would dare stand in our way!"
    [Accept]
The Government Position

The government is preparing to dismiss this issue.

Now I'd peg 17th as choosing either option 3 or 4, probably 4.

Re: Nations.....

The Republic of Blerft
"E Pluribus Zappa"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Below Average
Location: The East Pacific

Regional Influence: Minnow
Blerft is a UN Member

The Republic of Blerft is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its quiet, industrious population of 76 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Retail.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is relatively low. Blerft's national animal is the mulato skink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the squiddle.

Blerft is ranked 3056th in the region and 60,086th in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.

Think you're all clever don't cha! ;\ And yes, option four seems the most wise decision to go with...

The other thing, you dismissed it? Where's the challange! I make it that I -have- to choose an option on all issues.

NOTICE: You realise.... You can have MORE than one issue a day right? Gives you more to do.... Go into settings and change it to "Two issues per day"....


My nation just banned mobile phones lol...

Oh and I love this update in my nations profile.... "The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources" Juuuuuust going shopping lol...

Re: Nations.....

LOL check out this option..... WIL! you should see the irony...... I am sure you must have paid them to slip this one in.....

The Issue

After a much-publicised incident involving a farmer's attempts to drive a family of travellers off private property, there has been a call for you to review the laws governing gypsies.
The Debate
  1. "These pikies just rolled onto my field in those caravans of theirs and camped out," says Anne-Marie King, the enraged farmer. "And when I tries to run 'em over with my tractor, it's me who gets stuck in the cells overnight! I've tried getting the government to evict them but they take too long over it. How would these people have reacted if I'd set up a tent in their back garden? There should be a law so I can get rid of them any way I choose. Gypsies should not be allowed to go wherever they like. It's just not fair to landowners."

    This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Yeah, I had that issue, too, d00d. I think I chose the opiton where you just let them camp out all over the highways.

Party!

Re: Nations.....

Does anyone know what all this stuff is about? ...

Quoting a recent message:
"Im the ambassador of your founder and came to explain you a few things,

This decree is a way to grow and keep this region active, none of you have join the forum or done anything to make this region prosperous . You will be able to remain here as a revolted nation for a while but our Founder will be glad to see some of you involved in this epic journey. I will therefore be here to answer any of your questions but this region needs more activity and will do all in my power to accomplish this order given to me .

This decree was the only way to get you active here but it dont seem to have worked . Our founder is very displeased with all that and told me that if the solution was to start from zero it shall be done .

He's waiting for a report from me , i wish not to have to bring him no response from you, which will mean an exclusion of this region."


Non-conformers kicked out of Revoltland? That would be an ironic end. Will they really throw us out?
