Hi to everyone!!! I'm pleased to announce that the bananas on 'poly have finally united in a republic of their own :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Most Serene Republic of Humanoid bananas
"'All hail to the holy banana'"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent Economy: Weak Political Freedoms: Below Average
Location: Apolyton
The Most Serene Republic of Humanoid bananas is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42%, 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 Woodchip Exports.
Crime is relatively low. Humanoid bananas's national animal is the humanoid banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the bananian peso.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know ''republic of humanoid bananas'' sounds kinda dumb, but ''bananas'' and ''the bananas'' were already in use.

The Sultanate of Celth is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7 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.
The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports industries.
The government is slowly introducing social welfare programs and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celth's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the cell.

Howdy everyone, I'm Kerry Jones. I am the nation you would call Haltom City. I've been known as Kingkerry since the age of 12, but it was orginally for the game Age of Empires(R). My nation on nationstates is doing quite well. I just went from a corrupted dicatorship to a Left-Leaning College State!

The Sultanate of Celth is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 87 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining industries.
Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the nation is completely gun-free.
