About it...
The object of the game is to lead a country in the way the player finds best. At the start of the game, the player chooses a few basic characteristics including country name, flag, motto, currency, national animal and style of government. Answers to the questions in the next page determine the initial ratings of the country's civil, economic and political rights. The nation's population starts at five million and increases every day automatically with play.
Issues

Gameplay hinges on deciding government policies: the player is presented with automatically assigned "issues" and chooses a response from a list of options. Players can ignore issues by dismissing them, which has no effect on the nation. [4]
The player sets the frequency with which new issues arise (from five to fourteen issues per week). After the original thirty issues written by Barry were found to be too few for the game to develop satisfactorily, players with national populations of over 500 million have been allowed to propose new issues since 15 July 2003.[5]
All issues have a peculiar characteristic, and no option is the "correct" one. Each usually has a positive and a negative aspect, although the latter is usually highlighted, and both are always exaggerated. Many issues are posed in terms of radical or extremist beliefs, and the accompanying opinions are rarely well-founded. This is for both humorous and didactic reasons: many opinions are extremely funny or ridiculous, and the player learns that there are no perfect ideas which will work in every case. As gameplay progresses, the user learns that each of the options provided for the proposed issues become more ridiculous and offer no stability to the nationstate. Although this is a simulation game of creating your own nation, the responses are often unrealistic and do not provide many middle-ground options to resolve the issues. Instead, the issues are used to drastically change your nation's economic, political, or social beliefs. As a whole, the issues do not directly relate to real-life situations but rather a more Barry-like nation-state as presented in Jennifer Government.[6]
There are occasional "Easter Egg" issues, such as one that dealt with piracy on the high seas, released to everyone on International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Other special issues appear after nations have achieved certain population-growth requirements, allowing players to choose a leader, capital city and national religion.

 

I already made a thread about this very thing in the politics section. But you're free to talk about your nation.

Ah, I didn't see that at all. I will certainly post my state there now.

 

My state, after being refounded. I really don't know what made me stop playing nor what brought it up from the recesses of my mind. May have been doing the spring cleaning LOL

Anyway, my nation ..

The Republic of Smartiepanties is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.987 billion 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Social Welfare are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54%. A healthy private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, the welfare administration’s new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, all footpaths have tollbooths, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

Smartiepanties's national animal is the gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the peck.

 

ATTN: lottie

Very lovely description! If you could provide a link, I'll add you to my Dossier! and maybe dance with pleasure.

 

It would be a pleasure to cavort with your nation

I nearly filled in the questions in the politics section about one's political stance until I realised I would be taking up several pages of the thread lol.

 

I admit I kinda got addicted to this as well. Been at it for about a year now.

http://www.nationstates.net/nation=mochaworld

The Empire of Mochaworld is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mandingo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.129 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise City. The average income tax rate is 94%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, students cut up leftover yin yangs during Arts and Crafts, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown. Mochaworld's national animal is the Bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the yin yang.

 

In case you haven't seen it, here is mine: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=novum_krisst

And look here! We have a big wig dictator here!

It's been really nice. And some of the issues recycle itself over and over again, but sometimes it's hard to maintain a strong nation with questionable situations that could be tilt the civil rights or economic prowess of the country.

Woah!! 94% tax - a fair hand by Mandingo!!

I've added you to my dossier

I have now added you and and satyr too

Just waiting for legislation so that I can have a capital city.

 

Keep playing every day and don't let up. I assure you that you would have a good deal of change. Plus, you'll eventually have your own leader as well as your official religion (if you want that too).
