Yes, because being Liberal has little to do with business regulation. Most leftists are liberal, but are not Libertarian, since they believe in regulating business. Personally, I agree with their rankings, although how my 'Civil Rights Lovefest' can be 33 on the most liberal stumps me

10% - it was 4% before the UN's 'Education is a Childs Right' bill.

The Republic of Ikea is not doing as well I'd have thought on that poll.

Only 62%? I've seen nations with 100% taxation. You must do better if you want to be a left-wing utopia.

I've got the 100% taxation thing going on. And, big surprise, my economy is 'imploded'.
Also, I'm 90th out of 94 in furniture production.

The People's Republic of Dark Valley is a small, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its quiet, industrious population of 16 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

Quote:

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded 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 54%, 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 Book Publishing.
Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Dark Valley's national animal is the Praying Mantis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Granite.

Today's United Nations Report
The Largest Defense Forces (per capita) in Apolyton
Nations ranked high on this list spend disprortionately large amounts of money on national defense, and are most secure against foreign aggression.
# Nation
1. The Dictatorship of Lemmington
2. The People's Republic of Moskidia
3. The People's Republic of Brelgovar
4. The Federation of Allied Apes
5. The Principality of Marraskuu
6. The Commonwealth of Belania
7. The Republic of North Texas
8. The People's Republic of Uberlandia
9. The Kingdom of Wine
10. The Federation of Imperial Republic
The King would like to appoint that the military of the Kingdom of Wine is here only for defensive porpuses, as we share a border with CFC Region.

My nation is 62nd, but our military is geared towards defensive action anyway...we believe in the weapon of class struggle as the most powerful weaponry in our arsenal

Well we are 16th on the extremity scale. Some would call it 'extreme', we just call it common sense to be waving the banner of global proletarian revolution.
And arse, I've become a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise

34th in extremism, probably would have been higher if Eternal Cold was still a pyschotic dictatorship
