Yeah it asked me the same thing, except with raspberries.
Then I changed my national animal to the Billie Joe, which made things funnier.

Quote:
"The fact is, the Billie Joe population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Samuel Mombota. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Billie Joe kebabs, Billie Joe pies, Billie Joe-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."


I saw one nation whose national animal was the Hasslehoff.
I cracked up.

I dismissed the issue. What did you do?

I dismissed the issue about cloning. D:

It's REALLY hard for me to say yes or no about that issue.

I'm trying to deprive as many rights as possible while everyone is jingoistic about what I do. mrgreen

There was a Nazi sympathizers' rally, and I had to stop it because this dude wanted freedom of speech. Let's just hope that it goes through. NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH! BWAHAHA!

Oh, and this has nothing to do with my political beliefs. xd

Sounds fun Washu! XD
I am agonising about today's issue.

I need to decide where my money goes.
Do I put it into education, helping less fortunate people, or giving people a tax break?

Currently my people are intelligent, and have excellent care and social wellbeing, but we have very high taxes..

It would be nice to give people a break on the taxes but I'm worried it'll mean my people will become careless and ignorant.

Oh, amazing! Here's me.

The People's Republic of Soviet Hotness is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 62%, 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 Woodchip Exports.

Crime is totally unknown. Soviet Hotness's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the commie.

I think I made a bad choice.. I banned the Nazi rally.. But I know I shouldn't know. I feel bad that my nation can no longer say we have free speech.

I'm slowly bringing my country up...

I said no on the Nazi Rally because there are, surprisingly, REALLY ANNOYING white supremacists here. Most of them are teens, and they go to my school. They're "within my social circle" but my social circle is ******** to begin with, with many of my friends being online, and maybe 3 at school, and one at my Computer, Servers and Networking class.

oh, here's my updated country description:

Quote:
The Jingoistic States of Moldy Green Stuff is a large, devout nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10%. A robust private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Soda Sales.

Public nudity is compulsory, military spending is on the increase, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem. Moldy Green Stuff's national animal is the george, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the poot.

I also said no to the Nazi issue. The last thing I need is a bunch of ******** up racists causing problems in my nation. Here's my updated nation:

Quote:
The Holy Empire of The Foamy Worship is a large, devout nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirell population. Its compassionate population of 29 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Trout Farming and Cheese Exports.

Bicyclists are banned from major roads, military spending is on the increase, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime is moderate. The Foamy Worship's national animal is the squirell and its currency is the Song Penny.

The Foamy Worship is ranked 38th in the region and 44,223rd in the world for Highest Police Ratios.

The Free Land of Escarcha
"Peaceful Serenity"

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights:Good
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: World Benchmark

The Free Land of Escarcha is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

Crime is relatively low. Escarcha's national animal is the polar bear and its currency is the nieve.

I've got a weird issue. My divorce rate is like really high and they want to change that so my three options are:
1) Ban Divroces
2) Make it a law that you MUST say 'darling' once a day
3) Make it legal for gays to be married.

I mean, I'm chosing the last one, but what the hell?!? Make everyone say darling to their spouse or they get a fine. I would just say 'leave it' and just keep things the way they are...obviously people are having issues in their families and that's nothing for the government to get into!

Lmao I'm sorry, BUT WHAT JERKS!!!!



Escarcha Decides:
Turn Down That Racket, Say Morality Police

The Issue
A group of concerned parishioners and soccer moms has petitioned the government of Escarcha to outlaw heavy metal music, which they fear is a bad influence on youngsters.

The Debate
"Heavy metal music is a plague in our good nation and its God-fearing people!" argues local priest and easy listening advocate Johann du Pont. "Just the other day, I heard a song by some group called Hell's Irate Puppies with a sinful quantity of bass and drum... oh, and there were probably some lines about killing parents, too, I'd imagine! It's vital that we ban this music, and remove this terrible influence from our children's lives! Think of the children!"
[Accept]


"Whoa, man... what's with the, like, censorship and stuff?" asks Al Steele, scruffy-haired bassist of the popular speed metal band The Destroyinators. "You can't, like, censor the music, man. That's how we express ourselves! Every bass beat is me baring my soul! Every howl is me complainin' about how my parents tried to kick me out of their basement! Besides, what's wrong with Satan? He's just misunderstood anyway. I say promote the arts, man!"
[Accept]


"You know, this heavy metal issue has me thinking," says Stephanie Falopian, your brother, over your weekly game of cribbage. "If these long-haired freaks want to put out their devil-worshipping metal, why don't we let them? Of course, we'll put a little subliminal propoganda into every song... after all, don't these guys owe their freedom of expression to you?"
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.
