Quite fun indeed. Just created this one:
The Holy Empire of Limburgia Sanctum is a fledgling, economically powerful nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Limburgia Sanctum's national animal is the Sloth, and its currency is the Limburgian.

Geez, seems like you created The Netherlands.
If only we were ruled by a benevolent dictator, instead of the populist politicians that are in power now, or soon will be, if the polls are anything to go on.
Whatever it is, it sounds awesome!
Thanks!

Some nitpicks
While I still think it is a fun site, there are some things I noticed.
Some issues and the solutions you accept do not translate well to the result that is displayed after the legislation passes.
For example, when asked about the animal liberation front, I chose the side that we should legislate to prevent unnecessary suffering in animals. The result from that was that "meat eating is froned upon", how does that square with each other?
The other one was with cloning. I selected the option tht scientist could clone embryos for research, however, the result was that "scientists regularly clone humans for research".
Other than that, it's fine.
