The Free Land of Felching
"I'd Walk A Mile For A Felching."

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Average Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Some

Location: the Pacific

The Free Land of Felching is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working 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 tiny government is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 3%. A healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Felching's national animal is the badger and its currency is the pebble.

UN Category: Corporate Police State

Political Freedoms: Few
Location: the Pacific

The Federation of Neo Schizophrenia is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company.

The medium-sized government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining industries.

Crime is a serious problem. Neo Schizophrenia's national animal is the surveillance droid and its currency is the Zylka.

The Free Land of Fecalupine
"Bark lightly, but carry a big bite."

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Average Economy: Fair Political Freedoms: Very Good

Location: Apolyton
The Free Land of Fecalupine is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Fecalupine's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the whisker.

In the USSQ as it was formerly known as been a coup, it's now called the Confederacy of Qantrix, the new government will give support to the struggeling economy of Qantrix, als we will increase our spending for defence.

The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The Dominion of Provracy
"Your neighbor is a jerk - let us prove it."

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Few

Location: the Pacific

The Dominion of Provracy is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 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 large 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%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.

Crime is a problem. Provracy's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rageahol.

Here's a little history:

Provracy was intially known as Sexopolis, a 5 square mile island where residents shared 2 ideas:

1) Sex is a gift from God, to be practiced as often as possible.
2) Birth Control is a sin.

That created a problem, the wise people realized they could ignore for a while if they built a tall building. The sages decided that the best structure was a pyramid, 2 miles wide, 2 miles long ( a 4 square mile base)and 2 miles high, upon completion, the country was renamed: The United Floors of Pyramidia Centralis.

The most important person in our history is George the Wise. He introduced a new form of transportation The Sootmobile, so we didn't have to walk or bike over the 2 mile pyramid. He also said, "We need to move into the Modern Age, and our reputation as the world's greatest lovemakers makes us seem primative, we need to make our nation a gleeming example to all the world. We will gold plate the entire outside of the Pyramid." Protesters complained that there would be no sunlight in the pyramid, and his own experts said there wasn't enough gold in the world. He recanted, saying that the windows, which make up most of the structure, would not be. His experts calculated that the gold required was only 2/3 of the world's supply.

The next innovation George introduced was the sootmobile. Walking and a public bicycle rack by the elevators had been enough before. George got rid of the bike racks, there were fatalities, and the air darkened as more sootmobiles came into use.
