Today's United Nations Report
The Most Compassionate Citizens in Apolyton
Exhaustive UN tests involving kittens revealed the following nations to be the most compassionate.

I hate to think what happened to the Kitten's in the 71st nation. did they do fox and hound chases with them or something?

I object to the fact that UN used cats and not dogs or little old ladies to do the testing with. The people of Zoran do not like cats, but are still a very compassionate people

14th

So apparently I'm a compassionate dictatorship.

Frozzy · January 7, 2003, 15:46

45th.

God does the killing because the populace are all feeling themselves.

(I haven't seen the rankings, I hope its not my nation.

)

It is not surprising the UN would use such questionable mehtods. Although, I'm proud to say that Ubinia is third on the list

and commend Akiria and The Disputed Territories of The Mad Capitan on achieving an even higher level on compasion.

I think it's also worthwhile to note that the FIR is number 57 on the list - speaks volumes, I think.

H Tower · January 7, 2003, 16:02

heh, Zoran was a lowly 61, but only because we hate cats

Anodyne · January 7, 2003, 16:04

Hm...Psycotropicana was the 29th. We like rabbits and stuff more.

Giovanni Wine · January 7, 2003, 16:33

Wine was 32.

But that is because in the Kingdom of Wine are national animal is the flying cat, while our average cat population is very low, since the flying cat are rapidly outpassing them.

Compassionate is our middle name

Vlad Antlerkov · January 7, 2003, 22:47

4th. (This is the highest I've been in any of the rankings.)

CapitanGarlic · January 8, 2003, 01:30

1st! Woo again!

(also, I got 79th out of all 36000 in the world. Not too shabby, eh?)

Lawrence of Arabia · January 8, 2003, 01:41

I ranked 10145 in the world and 36 in Apolyton. but thats only because I started a few days ago.

Alex · January 8, 2003, 07:57

43. Hm, I guess that the Tupanians like jaguars more than kittens. I can't blame them, considering that the jaguar is an exquisite delicacy.

The Collective, ranked 68, reports that the distinctiveness of the UN-supplied kittens added little to our own, and that they were not very challenging prey. However, they tasted deliciously

red_jon · January 8, 2003, 12:36

For some reaosn legalising euthanasia made my society less compassionate

Kassiopeia · January 8, 2003, 13:28

Blah. 26th (IIRC). Who needs compassion in the world today anyway.

H Tower · January 9, 2003, 21:22

71st in the new ranking for environmental beauty.

CapitanGarlic · January 10, 2003, 01:37

1st for the environment! Woo, again!

Apparently, I've made it illegal for my citizens not to be peaceful hippies.

Frozzy · January 10, 2003, 03:13

20. Better than most * Frozzy begins shooting a Pasiphae tourism commercial *

aahz_capone · January 10, 2003, 09:37

The FIR are compassionate enought legalize euthanasia. however, we felt that the UN had little buisness bringing foreign cats into our country and promptly told them that animal export/import laws dictated they pay 5 sovereigns per cat they import. They apparantly didn't find this very "compassionate" and didn't even get into the o****ry to do their tests!

SlowwHand · January 10, 2003, 16:46

I made note at the site, but will bring up here also.

These rankings aren't particularly desireable, in all cases.
Though some will disagree, if the report listed me as number one eater of Baby Stew, it might give me pause.

Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: World Benchmark

The death penalty has been reintroduced, military spending recently hit a new high, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime is a problem (sounds like ACS

)

H Tower · January 10, 2003, 17:59

that's a strange description to go with your rankings

SlowwHand · January 10, 2003, 18:59

This afternoon changes reflect new U.N. title of NY Times Democracy. Previously it was Corporate Bordello.

"The Republic of North Texas is a small, devout nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 12 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct."

I approved 1st military spending issue, then tabled another that just came through.

Dauphin · January 10, 2003, 21:45

I too am in charge of a NY Times Democracy, coming previously from a Capitalist Paradise.

Dauphin · January 10, 2003, 21:59

Looking at the daily rankings, it amazes me that the nation topping the list of those who "go about their personal business without interference or regulation from government" is a nation whose businessmen "are regulated to within an inch of their lives".
