OT-Nation States (Discussion and Retruitment)

[Esquared1]

Please check this site out, all those who want to take part in some political minded stuff http://www.nationstates.net

As the Chairman of the People's Republic of Tree Huggiing Hippies, I make a call for more socialist brothers to join me in the FOFC region.

Unless you are sick of me wanting to protect trees, then join the FOFC and threaten my forests.

Retruitment, huh?

[illinifan999]

I love this game. Here's my description so far:

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Few Economy: Good Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: FOFC

The Dictatorship of Hattrickism is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 12 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

Organ donation is compulsory, the government snoops on private internet connections, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Hattrickism's national animal is the midfielder and its currency is the Divine Coin.

Hattrickism is ranked 48th in the region and 40,584th in the world for Largest Soda Pop Sector.

Yes....they are my little playthings.

And now my latest issue:

People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right

The Issue
While effusively praising Hattrickism's leadership and bowing repeatedly, a delegation has humbly requested that the government take a more "modernistic" view in the future.

The Debate
The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be your brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that you know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to your course. And execute these wackos for treason."
[Accept]


"Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses your Chief of Staff, who is your sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of your puppets, I mean."
[Accept]

Pfft....religious fanatics. We shall circumsize them! And boy oh boy is my brother one smart man.

[JeeberD]

So, what, is the old thread not good enough for you?

[sterlingice]

We did already have quite a thread for this:

Nation States

{shameless plug}Heck, I have a dynasty report over in the dynasty boards.{/shameless plug}

My latest "issue:"

Trogdorany Decides:
Military Demands Increased Spending
The Issue

The Department of Defense has put its case for a substantial increase in funding for the coming financial year.
The Debate

1. "There are turbulent times we live in," says Defense Chief Charles Fellow. "Turbulent and dangerous. And the only sensible response to that, of course, is to build a lot more weapons. Unless we get the funding we need, I can't promise that we'll be able to defend Trogdorany's sovereign borders from rogue nations and foreign powers. Or those leaky boatloads of refugees, for that matter."
[Accept]

2. "NO MORE BOMBS," chant the protestors outside Parliament House, in a repetitious and increasingly annoying appeal. Spokesperson Hack O'Bannon, speaking through a feedback-afflicted microphone, says, "Trogdorany needs fewer weapons, not more! Make the world a safer place! Disarm now!"
[Accept]

Is there really any question?
