The Dictatorship of Tedkaztan is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 21%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Gambling industries. Crime is moderate. Tedkaztan's national animal is the cocker spaniel and its currency is the spork. Excellent.... |

The Free Land of Mckerney "Government is an inescapable disease of human beings" UN Category: Corporate Bordello Civil Rights: Excellent Economy: Thriving Political Freedoms: Superb Location: FOFC The Free Land of Mckerney is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million 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. There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Commerce and Religion & Spirituality are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology industries. Crime is pervasive. Mckerney's national animal is the Jackalope, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the mc. Income tax is unheard of. - HA! I win!

The Protectorate of Redkem
"Welcome to the Jungle, We've Got What You Need" UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship Civil Rights: Some Economy: Weak Political Freedoms: Rare Location: FOFC The Protectorate of Redkem is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Redkem's national animal is the nutria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the redkar. |

albionmoonlight said: Weird, its affiliated with that book, Jennifer Government.
I just happened to start reading that book last night, about 1/3 of the way through it and it seems Okay. Nothing special, although there have been a few moments where one is forced to laugh at how Big Business is perceived. Not that the author is right or wrong, but that specific responses can and will be elicited by the phrasing of some sentences. |

The Free Land of TredWellingham
"Libertas Tibi Omnibusque" UN Category: Anarchy Civil Rights: Superb Economy: Thriving Political Freedoms: Superb Location: FOFC The Free Land of TredWellingham is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs. The small government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A healthy private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TredWellingham's national animal is the calico cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the faire.

Concerning voluntary vs compulsory voting.
My brother will go far in this government. "This raises an interesting issue," says Violet Dredd, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?"

The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy.

"For the Emporer and the Empire!!" UN Category: Father Knows Best State Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Frightening Political Freedoms: Outlawed Location: FOFC Rendland is a UN Member The Kingdom of Rendland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 954 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Commerce and Law & Order are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling. Billions of talents are being poured into a space program, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, citizens must pay to enjoy Rendland's pristine beaches, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rendland's national animal is the White Bengal Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the talent. Rendland is ranked 3,578th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector. |

Have you had any non-FOFC countries contact you. I keep getting contacted by one that isn't in the FOFC group and there doesn't seem to be any ties to it. The email wanted to hear more about my ideas because he said they sound interesting (I guess he). I asked what ideas he meant and he said my political views. This all began just a few minutes after I signed up. How does answering a couple of questions and getting some sort of random profile for a fake country show off your own political views.
Sorry, I was just very puzzled by the messages. If I had been participating for a while and my points of view were being logged on different global issues, that would at least give the questions some sort of foundation. If it's just someone's honest question because they randomly noticed my new country than I have no problem with it. It's just that my nut-job alarm went off when I saw it wasn't connected with FOFC. |

"What are you gonna do, when they come for you?" UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Average Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: FOFC The Republic of PsychoCopia is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion. The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PsychoCopia's national animal is the hootchie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bling bling. I always wanted currency to be called "bling bling". Sheesh, my income tax is INSANE... but all my citizens are well-educated... hah! uhmmm, what now?

UN Category: Free-Market Paradise Civil Rights: Few Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Superb Location: FOFC The Republic of Technicity is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests. The small, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Soda Sales industries. Crime is a serious problem. Technicity's national animal is the wolverine and its currency is the dollar.

The Holy Empire of Neuqua
"The Land of Swaggs" UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Reasonable Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: The East Pacific The Holy Empire of Neuqua is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning bull population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The enormous government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Neuqua's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pudh.

The Holy Republic of Davidlandidia
"To live, is to be David" UN Category: New York Times Democracy Civil Rights: Some Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: FOFC The Holy Republic of Davidlandidia is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct. The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries. Crime is a problem. Davidlandidia's national animal is the llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the daviddollar.

Scientists have announced they are close to a breakthrough in their quest to revive the feather-bellied midfielder, a species related to Hattrickism's national animal that has been extinct for more than a century.
Featehr-bellied midfielder.....hmmmm my onlly question is he outstanding? I think I'm going for the funding, since the only opposition is religious fanatics and a crazy man. I, for one, applaud their work," says scientist Jennifer Hanover. "And not just because I'm the project leader. This is an example of how Hattrickism's brains can mix it with the world's best. Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to have feather-bellied midfielders frolicking in the meadows again? I say full steam ahead, and more government funding!" I think all hattrickers will be happy to know that the feather-bellied midfieder will no longer be extinct.
