NationStates

[Connorc6291]

I begn playing a game called NationStates on the internet a few days ago. It is a political simulator where you get to create your own nation and controll its ideology. Nations can band together in regions. I have created a region called World Pastafarian Alliance. I urge everyone on this board to play and joing my region. We can push the FSM agenda and get some free advertisement. My nation is the Holy Republic of Vegopastafarians. Please support this fledging region!

I just wanted to report that my region, World Pastafarian Alliance, now has 9 members, all FSMers.

Change Region

A fleet of military-grade choppers will fly in and physically transport Noodly Goodness to a better location.

I guess that makes ten


The Holy Empire of Noodly Goodness is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 46%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is totally unknown. Noodly Goodness's national animal is the midget, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the noodle.

The United Socialist States of Ceravisia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Pizza Delivery.

Crime is well under control. Ceravisia's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the aeger.





And yes, ceravisia does mean beer in Latin. Sounds nice though, don't it?

[Aeger]

I am of the opinion that "Pastafaria" sounds better than World Alliance of Pastafarians, though admittedly the latter sounds more like a group of nations.

Could we perhaps debate changing the title?

[Connorc6291]

I hate to be rude, but its World Pastafarian Alliance anyway. And I am not sure its possible to change the name of a region.

Plus my nation's already called Holy Pastafaria:


The Rogue Nation of Holy Pastafaria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 304 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 23%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Holy Pastafaria's national animal is the midgit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dubloon.

How Un-creative of me

The Holy Empire of Pasta The Pirate is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Crime is moderate. Pasta The Pirate's national animal is the fsm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ramen.

I used to play it, but I've switched to CyberNations. Though they don't have pastafarianism as a religion there.

I'm already in a region, but here's my nation:

The People's Republic of Bertrandium is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 519 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, people who are terrified of needles are torn between their phobia and free health care, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Bertrandium after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bertrandium's national animal is the belly-ruffled grunting, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the teapot.

Bertrandium is ranked 1st in the region and 15,299th in the world for Best Weather.

Up to 50 million population now!

[Jhoge]

I used to play that thing, but now I may re-join, just to show my gratitude to the FSM and His greatness.
