The Most Serene Republic of Twilemen
"Platypuses say moo"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Average Economy: Weak Political Freedoms: Average
Location: Apolyton
The Most Serene Republic of Twilemen is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 422 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Law & Order and the Environment are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.
Anti-government web sites are springing up, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, voting is voluntary, and televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twilemen's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the twil.
Twilemen is ranked 54th in the region and 50,328th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.

The large 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 nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry.

The average income tax rate is 65%, 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 Pizza Delivery.

The Dictatorship of Frankychanland "Frankychan Knows What's Best"
UN Category: Corrupt Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: Apolyton
The Dictatorship of Frankychanland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 202 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
All guns must be registered, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, guns are banned, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime is relatively low. Frankychanland's national animal is the humuhumunukunukuapuaa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the left big toe.

The Auldonina Fascist League is a group of islans in the Far north west of the region which has joined under the flag of Auldonina.
The small island of Auldonina has progressivley over the centuries expanded and integrated the surounding islands and now has a population of over 1 billion.
The people love their leader and follow fully his great economic plan of allowing business leaders run the country.
All people are employed except for a handful of local indigenous rebels on the conquered islands. These people are regarded as second class as they refuse to integrate.
Auldonina supports all other similar governments that use Fascism as their form of government . We realsie this flys in the face of many democratic coutnries but we maintian all nations are free to form their own form of governments.
