The Free Land of Oral Fixation

The Free Land of Oral Fixation

"Wow! free love!"

UN Category: Benevolent Dictatorship

Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Few

The Free Land of Oral Fixation is a enormous, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of many millions enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.


The medium-sized, liberal government concentrates mainly on Education, although Defence and Social Welfare are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.


The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oral Fixation's national animal is the vibrating monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Bong.

The Free Republic of Stanleystan

The Free Republic of Stanleystan

"Ben Joseph Elijah: He's never wrong!"

UN Category: Capitalizt

Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Some

Location: Apolyton

The Free Republic of Stanleystan is a enormous, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working population of many millions enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.


It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.


The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the government is reigning in public spending, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Stanleystan's national animal is the pagan idol, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the marijuanian bong.

The Free Republic of New Marijuania

The Free Republic of New Marijuania

"Lets all go to Shangri-La!"

UN Category: Capitalizt

Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Excellent

The Free Republic of New Marijuania is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 40 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.


The enormous, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.


Extreme political groups are outlawed, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. New Marijuania's national animal is the tree cabbage, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the bong.

The Federation of Mill Limit Nations

More commonly known as the Libertarian Federation.

A conglomerate of Marijuania, Oral Fixation, Stanleystan and New Marijuania.

A join defence policy, a centralised taxation and federal economy, a federal system of government and a federal justice system. A higher degree of sub-national autonomy than most federal systems, including separate economies, law and order, and government styles.

Over 1.8 billion people at time of writing, see other threads.

[Urban Ranger]

I don't think you can have such a system without the member states disapperaing into the "federation." Joint defense a la NATO is fine, even a single currency is fine. But centralised taxation means one central (or federal) government with national borders erased.

[Sheep]

European Union with tax is what I think he is trying to get at here UR.

[Whaleboy]

Nope, the LF is one nation, but the consituent states have a greater degree of autonomy than, say the states making up the USA, or the states making up the UK. Thats why they have seperate economies and separate state-level DEVOLVED governments, but the LF is the single nation.

Anyway, it gives me the second largest nation in the region, and growing faster than Akiria, so I can hardly complain! jk

[Sheep]

lol Thats really the aim aint it. To beat Drouge.

[Drogue]

It seems to be everyones aim. And his nations may grow faster than Akiria, but if I were to join Akiria and Zetaris, then I would be still quite a bit in front. However I am a little surprised that youn can argue that states with a "greater degree of autonomy than... the states making up the USA" and with "DEVOLVED governments" are the same nation They will still be treated as seperate by Akiria and Zetaris, since they decide their own policy. What goes for one, does not necessarily go for the other. In terms of opinions, Akiria and Zetaris are closer, and have the same foreign policy, but they are ruled by different governments, and as such, are different nations.

[Whaleboy]

It seems to be everyones aim

Too late, im bigger than you jk

I were to join Akiria and Zetaris, then I would be still quite a bit in front

For a while until I catch up again!

They are essentially different nations, but with one military, one joint federal government that handles the big stuff, economic stuff is left to each region, as is cultural and political. They are the same nation with regards to foreign policy, thus the international community will deal with the LF.

The People's Republic of Appotamox

"Be happy, OR ELSE!"

UN Category: Iron Fist Consumerists
Civil Rights: Some	Economy: Good	Political Freedoms: Outlawed

Location: Apolyton

The People's Republic of Appotamox is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 195 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, guns are banned, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Appotamox's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the jydip.

Appotamox is ranked 54th in the region and 23,362nd in the world for Largest Manufacturing Sector.

The Democratic Republic of Orcadonia
"Freedom of Sensibility"

UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good Economy: Fair Political Freedoms: Some

Location: Apolyton

The Democratic Republic of Orcadonia is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its quiet, industrious population of 10 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Basket Weaving.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, organ donation rates have hit a new low, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is well under control. Orcadonia's national animal is the orca whale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the orca.

I've decided to bring two of my other nations here.

The Commonwealth of New Bedford
"There's no such thing as overkill, just ensured victory"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Some

Location: Apolyton
The Commonwealth of New Bedford is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 801 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and all tarrifs have been abolished. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Bedford's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.


The United States of Axmar
"Capitalist pigs and proud of it!"

UN Category: Capitalizt
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Average

Location: Apolyton
The United States of Axmar is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 425 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Organ donation is compulsory, all tarrifs have been abolished, surveillance cameras are banned, and Axmar's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Axmar's national animal is the bobcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.
