Anyone else know about this site? Basically, you found your own nation, decide issues to govern it, join factions, etc. You can govern your country as a dictatorship, a democracy, a corporate oligarchy, or whatever. I used the site a while back, but I've joined again, and it seems to have advanced quite a bit. The different factions you can join seem to have become quite sophisticated and well thought out. It's a pretty sweet way to waste time on the internet.

The Republic of Dooksville is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 5 million Dooksvilleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Dooksvillean economy, worth 101 billion dicks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,288 dicks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Dooksville's national animal is the sloths, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

We can actually use a "Factbook" to create a national history that describes your nation's history, culture, politics, etc. It's pretty wizard. Here is my preliminary entry for my country, The Federation of The Luxurious Beard of Odin.

Quote:

The Nature of Our Nation

The Federation of The Luxurious Beard of Odin is a quasi-confederacy of previously independent tribes, now unified by our shared Germanic cultural and ethnic heritage. The decadent liberalism of the West infected our lands, threatening to erode the pride and purity of our proud peoples, but through a long and arduous struggle, we have cast aside our oppressors, both foreign and domestic.

We are unified under an overarching council of equals, drawn from each of the constituent states, but we have not abolished them. We honor our differences, as we venerate our shared heritage. Our heroes are heroes of all of The Luxurious Beard of Odin, but it would be an injustice to rob each peoples of their claim to their respective ancestors. It is through this respect that our allegiance will flourish.

The struggle is not yet complete however. The hated Christian religion -- which attempted to wipe out our cultures in order to erase our identities -- has been cast down: the churches built upon the holy sites dedicated to our "pagan" gods have been razed, and new temples have been erected in their place so that we may begin anew our worship of Odin, Thor, Freyja, etc. But the Christian religious caste still festers, and there are those of our people who still foolishly cling to their blasphemous teachings. In time, however, these poisonous elements will be purged by the righteousness of our fervor.

For the flame of the Teutonic spirit can never be truly extinguished. Our blood is aflame with the spirit of our ancestors and gods. The warriors of old possess us with their unrivaled strength, and a new era of glory is upon us through the teachings of National Socialism.

We hope to face the coming battles against the enemies of the German people with fellow nations dedicated to our cause and the spirit of true Nationalism.

The very strong Gishmontian economy, worth 275 billion pints of blood a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 55,113 pints of blood, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,360 per year while the poor average 13,984, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
More blood for the poor.

Mondo Bungle 04-30-2015 04:44 PM

The Borderlands of Grimfrost is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 5 million Grimfrostians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Grimfrostian economy, worth 138 billion Topazes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,729 Topazes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grimfrost's national animal is the Basilisk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Nomadic Peoples of Garage Rockia is a fledgling, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 5 million Garage Rockians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The Garage Rockian economy, worth 216 billion Sexual Favors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 43,320 Sexual Favors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Garage Rockia's national animal is the Cassowary, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

"We remain critically short of blood plasma and various organs," says Garage Rockia One hospital administrator Zeke Obama. "Especially hearts. A good heart is hard to find. But if we were allowed to pay for donations, we'd get more of them and could save more lives. Plus the donor takes home a few hundred Sexual Favors in compensation. Unless it's a post-mortem donation, of course. In that case we'd pay the family."

The Steel Imperivm, the great, overarching region that governs my new region, among others, has just sent out a mass telegram.


Quote:

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF FASCISM

Greetings to all TSI citizen soldiers! Significant changes have been made to the operation of The Steel Imperivm and many more are to come. Every effort will be made to keep all players in our movement armed with the most complete and up-to-date knowledge necessary to allow member contributions to our spiritual Fatherland to the best of their ability.

FASCES

The Fascist Agency of Strategic Covert Espionage and Security (FASCES) has been organized and ratified by the Supreme Council. It is the first and only intelligence agency to date to represent the collective interests of all Fascist regions. Its primary objectives are infiltrate and gather high value intel from enemy regions, aid nationalist movements in their infancy so that they may mature into movements, and to foment insurrections in other regions of interest.

TFU Minister Belmora has been selected as the Director of FASCES. TCoFN Founder and Black Brigades Militia General The new Polish Empire will serve as Deputy Director. Together, these irreplaceable TSI contributors will lead a small, efficient network on covert missions by pooling resources and sharing methodology and tactics.

Our spy network will be small and membership limited to 2 nations per region. Their identities will be known only to the directors of FASCES and the Supreme Council. Some have already applied as fascist spies and those individuals will be contacted soon. There is still some room for active and dedicated agents. All applicants should wire a telegram to this account, DVX, stating their intentions of joining FASCES.

*Important Note*

Your regional Founders may be contacted to vouch for you. If they cannot do so confidently, your application will be rejected. Agents of FASCES must be active, disciplined, and willing to follow orders to the letter.

BRIGADES BATTLE FLAG

It is highly encouraged for all active combatants of The Black Brigades to upload the official battle flag of the Fascist army ( http://i.imgur.com/OGLhsCM.png?1 ) as the flag of your Raider Nation. Not only does this make it easier to distinguish how many of our soldiers are participating in Third Rome military operations by looking at the delegate's endorsements, but it symbolizes pride of uniform amongst our soldiers. Organization and uniformity of appearance will make us a stronger armed force and sends a powerful message to our allies and enemies alike.
This is primarily for Pilers [the Enlisted Corps].

COMMANDMENTS

The ideological core and system of ethics for Fascist soldiers has been outlined in The Commandments of Fascism. All military recruits affirm their commitment to these tenants upon applying for membership.

MISSION

The Black Brigades is currently facing its first test of war in The Western Empire. The total mobilization of the Brigades was ordered after an unexpected opportunity to liberate the region from Libertatem presented itself.

For those not familiar with this group, Libertatem is an NS military alliance of libertarian and conservative democrats. Despite having first been organized as an anti-Marxist army, some time ago they began a new campaign of harassing and initiating aggressive military actions against Fascist-Nazi regions in the name of "anti-authoritarianism" due to the employment of social shame tactics by ANTIFA regions for only going after communists.

Their capitulation to the requests of their supposed enemies means they have declared themselves the sworn enemies of Fascism as well. Third Rome has taken them for their word and responded in kind. Many of their soldiers stationed in TWE have chosen to flee rather than fight. Nonetheless, a third party could still interfere with our plans to hold the region by mounting a counter-offensive. The best way to ensure our survival under such circumstances is to gain the highest amount of endorsements as possible for our delegates.

We are extremely proud of the number of Brigaders that carried our colors into battle on such short notice. Yet, there are still soldiers who have not followed their deployment orders. Failure to comply or to give reason for noncompliance may result in your court-martial.

General Order: Every combatant for the Black Brigades should be in The Western Empire, endorsing our delegate Amsen only. If you are a Brigader that has not yet deployed, please do so immediately.

If you are a TSI citizen that is not a member of the Brigades, but still wants to participate in this operation without obligation to join, you can create a Raider Nation with the Brigades battle flag uploaded in the SETTINGS and enter TWE to endorse our delegate there as well. If you do so, please contact Party-Militia Secretary Alessandro Pavolini to inform him of your participation as a "freelance fighter."

When it comes to war on Nationstates, manpower is king. Therefore, every soldier we can recruit - either as long-term combatants or freelance fighters - are absolutely essential to secure our victory over the Marxist movement.

TSI FLAG

The Steel Imperivm has adopted a new official flag of pan-regional Fascism on Nationstates: http://i.imgur.com/G2Pin2I.gif

All credit goes to TSI's new FASCES Director Belmora for putting together this excellent design for our benefit. Any TSI citizens with the time and skill to make artistic contributions or those who have ideas on how we can The Steel Imperivm and provide more opportunity for member contributions, please send those ideas to your regional founders or wire a telegram directly to DVX for Supreme Council consideration.

A Foreign Legion military division and TSI media outlet are currently being developed. All regions will be updated as plans progress.

I think Frownland is trying to become my nation's "spiritual advisor"...

Quote:

It's time for the government to hire a new religious advisor. Your people have narrowed down the candidates to:

1. Catholic Archbishop Declan Mombota: boasts an excellent track record, having rapidly increased church attendances in his constituencies through the "Reaching God Through Guilt" program. Seen as a solid choice.

2. New Age thinker Daniel Chandra: a left-field candidate with some radical ideas. "For me, it's not about the name of your religion. It's about discovering your spirituality in whatever guise that takes. Some people call that a cult: I call it taking spirituality to the people."

3. Finally, there's Jazz Strange. "If I am awarded the appointment, I will immediately resign," the ex-schoolteacher has declared. "Because, frankly, God is a big load of hokey. I'll be doing everyone a favor by just shutting up about it."
