From http://www.nationstates.net :

The Rogue Nation of Kellamania
"We laugh to keep from crying."

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Superb

Location: the Pacific

"The Rogue Nation of Kellamania is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Euthanasia is legal. Crime is relatively low. Kellamania's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the fitzgerald."

I find it fascinating that my civil rights went from "average" to "excellent" as soon as I legalized euthanasia. I'm a little put out that I was just a generic "liberal democratic socialist" instead of something more interesting, like a "Scandinavian liberal paradise" or "civil rights lovefest." (Does anyone have a list of all the possibilities?) And in case you can't see my flag, it's the Welsh dragon.

Who else is playing? Post here so I can add you to my dossier! Maybe we can start our own region! (Hell, I'm thinking about starting another nation that's completely off its rocker!)

I'm trying to figure out how I ended up with a socialist state at all, even though my decision to allow tariffs probably solidified it.

And yeah, we should make up a region sometime. I'm in the Free States now. :)

I can't find the Free States!

Oops, the Free Lands. Both me and [livejournal.com profile] chrisv are there.

We're thinking about starting a new region, since there are a couple of folks in the Free Lands who we don't know (the rest are friends of mine :-) ). Not sure yet, though. I mean, diversity is a *good* thing, right?

Too bad that you can't do something like alliances that you can be invited into. We had that in a similar game I played called Pimpwar.

Ooo, that sounds like fun.

We decided to move after all. I'm now in the new region The Black Rose Garden. Please come join! :-)

I clicked the "Create" button and got a "Server Down" message... I just hope my nation managed to make it through the process beforehand (hope, hope)...
