Nationstates

Woa thanks! I didn't know this game existed, it's fun as hell!Feel free to visit us, it's almost tourist-friendly The Armed Republic of Schwartzy is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.The government is avowedly atheist, military spending recently hit a new high, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon. Crime is a problem. Schwartzy's national animal is the Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Conan.
