The United Socialist States of Eristi is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 100 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural. Crime is well under control. Eristi's national animal is the platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Eristi is ranked 2nd in the region and 28,452nd in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.

Don't even being to ask me why I'm the 2nd ranked for pro-market. I do some things to help the market but also keep it on a tight leash.

Maybe your region has two countries.

The Empire of Execaliburia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate population of 91 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 16%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Gambling.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and aeroplanes have been converted into housing units after all air travel was outlawed. Crime is well under control. Execaliburia's national animal is the mutant rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the radioactive pellet.

Execaliburia is ranked 1595th in the region and 38,608th in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.

Regarding "the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'" I think I misunderstood the options. The way I read it, it was to give city hall the right to forcefully buy properties if the space is needed for high ways/hospitals/schools/etc. Oh well.


As I mentioned, my crime rate went up from "Crime is a problem" to "Crime is moderate" by the order to castrate rapists ... It apparently went to "Crime is well under control" after I ... banned planes.

Was funny why I banned planes. People were complaining about air pirates, some guys wanted cops with guns in the planes, other people wanted to allow everybody to take guns with him to the plane. Apparently option 3 was to just ban planes because they pollute, so...

This is what happened after the day I handled many issues that stacked together:

Quote:
The Empire of Execaliburia is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 96 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Public Transport are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 20%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Gambling.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, Execaliburia's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of academic achievement, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and Execaliburia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is well under control. Execaliburia's national animal is the mutant rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the radioactive pellet.

Execaliburia is ranked 366th in the region and 13,330th in the world for Most Armed.


If I remember correctly, I forbade the mining of uranium, I legalized infidelity, I approved a bill or something about education and I think I also made 'public shows of affection' from people with 'non-standard' sexual appetites legal.

I can say I am very proud of this. Apparently either the education or infidelity part ended all the bits of crime that remained.
