Change of Governemnt in Auldonina
With a new government coalition formed the former Fascist state of Auldonina is now known as the Federated Lands of Auldonina

The Federated Lands of Auldoninna
"Do unto others first, before they do us."

UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Rare Economy: Frightening Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: Apolyton
The Federated Lands of Auldoninna is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.162 billion 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, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 82%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

The army's shirt ninjas are the most feared assassins in the region, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, public nudity is compulsory, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 75th in the region and 103,369th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector

The Tooled-Up Sultanate of Al Mastif
"Innocence is the excuse of the guilty!"

UN Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Rare
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: Apolyton
The Tooled-Up Sultanate of Al Mastif is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.89 billion 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 concentrates mainly on Defence, although Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the government seizes all major gold finds, new urban roads are threatening city parks, and all guns must be registered. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Al Mastif's national animal is the Khaftani rebel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the camel.

Al Mastif is ranked 13th in the region and 2,523rd in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.

UN Category: Corporate Police State

Location: Apolyton
The Federated Lands of Auldoninna is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.221 billion 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 juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

The only places to see gerbils now are at local zoos, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and only the brainiest citizens become academics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 17th in the region and 8,329th in the world for Largest Agricultural Sector.

Here's my first attempt at a stylized map of Auldoninna, based on the map you posted in the regional map thread. Let me know if there are any changes or additions you'd like made.

I do all my stylized maps (like this one) in Adobe Illustrator, then export them as gifs. Some of the other maps I've posted were created using Photoshop or the Gimp.

(edit: and thanks! )

ok heres me silly attempt at a map for my eastern Province,

The Province is known as Grecodina. It is fully controleld by Audlonina but has its own state capital of Samios


many mountains and a large desert make up the island... only settlements along coast ar epossible..

almost 3/4 the total Audlonina population is on this large province
the pop of Grecodina is 865,000,000 only the largest citys shown as basically the whole coast is full of urban areas now.

The island has some local villagers still , foud in the citys of Lilitptuia, Bigotopia and tasmania, they are the minority groups left of the orignal inhabitants.

whilst free to settle anywhere these aboriginals feel more comfrotble in their origina lhomes..

The Federated Lands of Auldoninna
"Do unto others first, before they do us."

UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Few Economy: Frightening Political Freedoms: Rare

Location: Apolyton
The Federated Lands of Auldoninna is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.239 billion 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 juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 79%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Gambling and Arms Manufacturing.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the gerbil is reportedly extinct, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 21st in the region and 7,006th in the world for Largest Manufacturing Sector.

Today, First Minister Morgan announced in a letter to the Auldoninnan government that the general trade embargo imposed on Auldoninna by Ceroo was lifted at the end of the month.

However, an embargo remains on certain items, as set out in CECO's Auldonninan information pages:
Quote:
There are restrictions on the export of certain goods to Auldonnina. The Export of Goods (Control) Order includes a list of military, security and para-military goods and arms, ammunition and related material whose export to Auldonnina is prohibited. The scope of the embargo also covers nuclear related goods. There are two exceptions to this embargo: goods essential to the safety of civil aircraft and air traffic control systems; radioactive materials in the form of sources for medical equipment and deuterium labelled compounds for medical use.

Licences for dual-use goods are not approved for any equipment where there is knowledge or reason to suspect that it would go to a military end user or be used for military purposes.

Goods may also be deemed to require an export licence under the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) end-use control in the Export of Goods Control Order. Exporters should therefore also be on their guard against the possibility that goods which they are exporting to Auldonnina, although not specifically listed in the legislation specified above, may be used in connection with WMD or missiles systems capable of delivering them. Where an exporter knows or suspects that this may be the case, he should apply for an export licence.

Exporters who require help on any export control related matter should contact the Cerooan Export Control Organisation (CECO).

The Federated Lands of Auldoninna is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.419 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Gambling and Arms Manufacturing.

A survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and euthanasia is legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 33rd in the region and 20,195th in the world for Highest Average Tax Rates.
