The Government of the Rogue Nation of Stubbornia grudgingly admits that it is now officially part of the Apolyton region. "They wouldn't let us join UN otherwise", explains the newly elected prime minister in an interview, "but rest assured, this is just a formality and will not affect our standing as an independent nation". Conservative groups within the nation have criticized the government's decision and are calling for immediate apology and reaffirmation of the independence clause of the Stubbornian constitution which goes something like "We are One Nation under Nobody But Ourselves, and Whoever says otherwise is about to get an Ugly Boot-Shaped Bruise in his Backside" (translated to english from old nigh-incomprehensible Stubbornian dialect).

The People's Republic of Quebec
"Je me souviens"
UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Eutopia
The People's Republic of Quebec is a enormous, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 233 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Social Equality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61%, 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 Book Publishing.
Genetic researchers have been expelled, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and guns are banned. Crime is totally unknown. Quebec's national animal is the snowy owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.Last edited by FrosT37; January 29, 2003, 20:19.

The Republic of Guardinia
"Build a better future."
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: Apolyton
The Republic of Guardinia is a large, socially progressive nation, renown for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 40 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales industries.
Guardinia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, organ donation is compulsory, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guardinia's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the guardian."Politics is to say you are going to do one thing while you're actually planning to do someting else - and then you do neither."

The Rogue Nation of Kentaku Bo
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
UN Category: Anarchy
Civil Rights: World Benchmark Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: World Benchmark
Location: Nuclear Aggressors
The Rogue Nation of Kentaku Bo is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 148 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.
Surveillance cameras are banned, all recreational drugs are legal, voting is voluntary, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem. Kentaku Bo's national animal is the griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the bo.

The Holy Empire of Iguana Fire
"1 nation under the beliefoftruth,justice,andrationality"
UN Category: Right-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Few Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: The North Pacific
The Holy Empire of Iguana Fire is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Iguana Fire's national animal is the iguana, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the igua.-->Visit CGN!

The Kingdom of Kukskallia
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Fair
Political Freedoms: Good
Location: Apolyton
The Kingdom of Kukskallia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 32 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Retail, and Trout Farming industries.
Blue two-headed reindeers are considered a delicacy, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Kukskallia's national animal is the blue two-headed reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fitte.Last edited by Gangerolf; February 13, 2003, 07:14.CSPA
