My country, of 155 million people, steals and raises children to be killing machines for my military. It's a compulsory service military, they just get enlisted earlier on for much better training.

It's a game man. It's called Nationstates. You are the leader of a nation and you get to choose how your country rolls.

Here's my description. And for the reacord, I'm trying to lower taxes. I never knew everyone hates having spending money! All they ever want to do is raise taxes for more goverment programs that we really don't need.

"The Armed Republic of Ryuondo is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 155 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Soda Sales.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, school uniforms are compulsory, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ryuondo's national animal is the rancor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the wong diddly bong.

Ryuondo is ranked 3659th in the region and 58,074th in the world for Best Weather."

And by Rancor, yes the one from Star Wars. They're in my forests, eaten my hikers. And for the Catholic thing, I didn't want an aethistic nation, nor one with a bunch of cultists running around committing suicide. So Catholic was the only one to go to.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, no, Ryu, Xiaeriene is not going to kill herself, but if she ends up fighting for her life in a 1on1 battle against zero, then something will occur to send her spiraling down further into that path. I don't know if you've seen Eva, but Vain should knwo what I am talking about, I am going to have Xiaeriene end up going through a similar self-destruction like Asuka did toward the end of the Eva anime

Vain, still waiting on a post from you in Elemental-ville

I'll have her snap out of it eventually.....but not for a while, besides, I'd like to have her do if at a time when Bardok is in high danger of being killed. As for her losing, it's not the higher power part, but the fact that she was the one who defeat Kyros, and now things won't be like last time. I don't plan on having her actually "Lose" so much as endure a serious horrific ******** from Demon Sword Medium and Zero

"The Rogue Nation of Auctoritania is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Information Technology.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Auctoritania's national animal is the sanguit bird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the lamin."


Wow, good standing Civil Rights, low crime, no richies, well off people on the surface, harsh iron-ruled society underneath, sounds like the place I thought up.

I find it kinda weird that my Country has the lowest taxes out of the 3 of us. I dunno why, but it just seems kinda weird.

Got my custom flag up, nothing spectacular, but its there. In the last 5 mins, I recieved 13 messages from other countries trying to get me to join them, and 2 messages from countries begging me to join the UN and help support them. (I'm not, and have no intentions of, joining the UN)

Thing is, my country is set up the way the Darkness Kingdom opperates: self reliant, free, and sole power is of the people, not of the goverment. In essence, its sort of like our country, only with no power in big business, and it takes care of its people.

Those, ironically, are my politcal ideals.

I honestly believe that we should take full power of our goverment again, take it out of the curropt politians and big business, and set our foot down. It's "We the People" not "We the Businesses". We should look out for ourselves first, then when we can, help out the rest of the world when needed. This goverment has gone too far in destroying this country, and even selling it out, trying to make us MexiAmeriaCanada, and make a UK style system, making the money the Amero, and outsourcing heavilly on China. ******** that!

It's gotten so bad, that many states are thinking sucession once more. One guy from Vermont, whom leads the sucssionist in the state (13% of the whole state) wants to Unite Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and a bit of Canada into a new country the size of Denmark, and crown us New Arcadia.

Ironically, the only state who can legally succeed is Texas, and that's because it's in it's State Constitution. Other than that, the Amero s**t wont pass. Funny thing is "we the people" run those big corporations. Those few people with all the power in them are only powerful if we continue to work. The kind pf devastation wrought buy a corporate wide week long protest could potentially put one out of business. Most of the people up in the top of them are just money grubbing scumbags. One of which just recently got fired from Merrill Lynch this weekend. My mom works there. Their top CEO lost 8.4 billion dollars a couple weeks ago on something and then tried to covertly sell the company out to Wachovia. He stood to make 2 Million out of the deal. Instead he gets canned tomorrow. So eventually the tides will turn on those ******** ups.

And if you guys did succeed. The US military would just take you over again and redivide you back into the states tyou were and probably return the Canadian soil back to Canadia. After all the National Guard there still takes orders from the President.

As for outsourcing to China, I don't really object to it, the people there need jobs too. And I don't think anyone would want Peter's job. Checking toys sounds like a balls kind of job to me.
