The Confederacy of Scorpiania
"Why change a solid foundation?"

Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Good

The Confederacy of Scorpiania is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its quiet, industrious population of 7 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 33%, 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 Cheese Exports.

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

Scorpiania is ranked 17th in the region and 35,779th in the world for Happiest Citizens.

OK, uh, yeah, I know you guys know a lot, but enough with the advice on how not to lose a post. Of course I know how to safeguard my posts so I don't lose them. It's like knowing that you should save your Quark document every ten minutes. Just because you know it doesn't mean you always do it.

How do I move to 'Poly? what region is it?

Merely click the link that says "Tired of life in [region name here]? Then move to a new region!" Then type "Apolyton" into the search box.

Location: Apolyton
The People's Republic of Gerkastan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 372 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. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Commerce and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Roads are often backed up with round-the-clock construction crews., flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Gerkastan's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ruble.

Gerkastan is ranked 92,414th in the world for Happiest Citizens.

The Disputed Territories of Grumatopia/Al-Mastif

Civil Rights: Unheard of

Economy: Struggling

Political Freedoms: Unheard of

The Disputed Territories of Grumatopia-Al-Mastif is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Grumatopia-Al-Mastif's national animal is the slave girl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the grumastif.

The Borderlands of Kucilaande

Civil Rights: Superb

Economy: Very Strong

Political Freedoms: World Benchmark

The Borderlands of Kucilaande is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 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.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling industries.

Voting is voluntary and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is crippling. Kucilaande's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the banana.

The Holy Empire of Heressonia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape.

Citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Heressonia's national animal is the frog and tortoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the heressolid.

The Dictatorship of Marijuania2
"I'm too old for this"

UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Some

The Dictatorship of Marijuania2 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A healthy private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Marijuania2's national animal is the fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the baby.

Anyone remember me?

Location: Apolyton

The People's Republic of Ekathora is a small, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service.

The United Planets of The Plutonian Empire is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.144 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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, Social Equality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Rare
Location: Apolyton

The Queendom of PlanetTamarania is a huge, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 350 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

Major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, main battle tanks stalk the woods of PlanetTamarania in search of blubsblogs, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. PlanetTamarania's national animal is the blubsblog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the quark.
