    I've been playing this for awhile, figure if we got enough people together from here we could form our own region.

    http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=darklordpotter
    Is the link to my nation I set up awhile ago,

    http://www.nationstates.net is the home site.

    Heres a description of my Nation, based off of issues/bills/laws I've passed:

    The Rogue Nation of DarkLordPotter is a large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 36 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 medium-sized, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology industries.

    DarkLordPotter's army is full of 2 metre tall super-soldiers, parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, and the government covers the basic health care of its citizens. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. DarkLordPotter's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the galleon.

    DarkLordPotter is ranked 239th in the region and 51,797th in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.



    The permise is, you start a Nation, pass laws, and it grows in weird ways. You can RP wars and trade routes and what not, but I do it just to see what weird law I'll get next. Its not overly entertaining, but it is a fun little thing to check into every other day or so.

    I have decided to start one of these nations. Apparently I am in charge of Scandanavian Liberal Paradise with a high crime rate. Oh well, I refuse to be tough on criminals.



    The Rogue Nation of Sporife Land

    "In the Name of the Sporife "

    UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
    Civil Rights:
    Superb
    Economy:
    Developing
    Political Freedoms:
    Excellent
    Location: the Pacific

    The Rogue Nation of Sporife Land is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning spoon population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

    The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry.

    Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sporife Land's national animal is the spoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sporife.

    Not really, its more for Rping wars and what not, and making sure laws you want get passed by your UN delegate.

    You click on the name, then their nation, and it'll give you the option to move
