Wait... wait? WA? Oh, man that will take at least two days. Someone else needs to join the WA and then vote for me. Damn this game is slow.

I feel like playing a hybrid of Second Empire France and Imperial Germany, hoh. tongue

And then there's the fact I took part of my Nation State name after Luxembourg.

Proog is a WA Member

The Interplanetary Utopia of Proog is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.62 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sattelite 5 . The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Much of Proog's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, platypuss are considered a delicacy, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax retos each year. Crime is totally unknown. Proog's national animal is the platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the reto.

Proog is ranked 1911th in Lazarus and 29,193rd in the world for Most Income Equality.

Leading causes of death Old Age 79% Lost in Wilderness 21%

Proog Government Expenditure Education 34% Social Policy 16% Environment 14% Health Care 11% Public Transport 4% Welfare 20% Law & Order 1%

Ah cool. Awesome bro.

I've based Cartley on the ideals put down in the 19th Century by Joseph Chamberlain for a liberal, welfare municipality called Birmingham. Oh, he'd be rolling in his grave at the state of the city council today, oh ho ho.

Forgot to post my nation stats earlier.

Civil Rights: Average Economy: Thriving Political Freedoms: Outlawed

"The Armed Republic of Isle Von Lewis is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A robust private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling industries.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime is a serious problem. Isle Von Lewis's national animal is the Shark, and its currency is the Marcus."

My backstory for the nation is it was founded by angry, aggressive, and heavily-armed Scotsmen who were fed up with the whole UK business and set off to found their own country.

My Secretary of the Treasury, who also was my sister, asked that I not let the execution rates exceed the nation's birthrate.

Totally sent her traitorous ass to the gallows. Apparently forced nudity and making bicycle riding a capital offense isn't enough for the ingrates.

I just recently started a nation. And just now moved to Troperia. Behold the Constitutional Monarchy of Nyarania:

The Constitutional Monarchy of Nyarania is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9 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 morass — juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Pizza Delivery.

Voting is voluntary, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime is relatively low. Nyarania's national animal is the Wild Cat, and its currency is the Nyarian Mark.

Nyarania is ranked 35,644th in the world for Fattest Citizens.

Also, it got reclassified from "Liberal Democratic Socialists" to "New York Times Democracy" because I thought that the economy could use a little kick upwards.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

Started yesterday, moved to Troperia...

"The Allied States of Turbographic Oceans is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Hell-Raven population. Its quiet, industrious population of 6 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Voting is voluntary, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Turbographic Oceans's national animal is the Hell-Raven, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Somme.

Turbographic Oceans is ranked 43,011th in the world for Fattest Citizens."

Here I am.
