Cool.  My region is called "Centra," if anyone's interested in stopping by.  So far, I think it's about.... Oh, one member strong. XD 

NationStates

Oh, and "Aizakku" is my nation.

NationStates

I just made my nation official like 2 minutes ago. It's called the Commonwealth of Trionest, and it sucks. It's very small, in the South Pacific, has barren landscapes, and has a pretentious government ruling a hard-working people. It's like Mexico, only worse.

Now this manifestation of my political beliefs tells me that I'm a liberal, and as any good liberal must know, LIBERALS MUST NEVER ENTER THE HEAD OF GOVERNMENT.

NationStates

Agreed.  You guys can join my region, if you want.  I created it today.

I just made The Armed Republic of Wherrh (pronounced WHERE-EH, and the R is rolled). It's better than Trionest, but still corrupt. It's all about the military, but also religion. Cool stuff.

And I hope I don't get in trouble. Really, I'm just making a whole new country; I'm not trying to do anything bad. I just don't like Trionest. It sucks.

I just created a Nation today. My first issue was if people had to vote. One guy argued. "Compulsory voting makes about as much sense as getting the death penalty for attempted suicide." I laughed, so hard at that. XD

NationStates

17 years ago
So far I've outlawed voting, bulldozed rain forests and I'm saying yes to compulsory organ harvesting.

The economy is strong due to uranium mining, arms manufacturing and soda sales. (Hey, suppression of the weak is thirsty work)

NationStates

17 years ago
Hm.... Lets see here... Economy is strong because of Soda Sales, Book Publishings, and Pizza Delivery... Right. XD

NationStates

17 years ago
So the only way to progress your nation from shittiness to glamour is through the governmental decisions? That's cool enough.

Anyway, I said YES to voluntary voting and NO to organ harvesting. Voluntary voting keeps people under the illusion that they're free, and organ harvesting (ahem) "corrupts the body and does not allow it return to the sacred Earth." That's our Spirituality right there.

NationStates

17 years ago
Haha, believe me... Many of the options you get to choose from on the issues will be... just stupid.  Those are the ones I normally go for. ;)

So far, in Centra, we have:  Seth, Corinth, JJJ, Anubis, and myself... There's another there, but she/he hasn't said who she/he is.

NationStates

17 years ago
Don't you mean "it"? lol

Horrible reference...

NationStates

17 years ago
Hey guys, just asking. What is organ harvesting? Is that when it's a law that when someone dies, they take every workable organ and use it in medical?

NationStates

17 years ago

Basically.

No point in letting stuff go to waste.

NationStates

17 years ago
qft, End. qft.

The only problem is that, aren't the organs useless since they're dead?

NationStates

17 years ago

I would imagine the organs are harvested as soon as the person dies, packed in ice and rushed to those in need immediately to get the full freshness.

You wouldn't be digging up the graveyards and harvesting rotting worm ridden organs, well not unless you were trying to create some sort of flesh golem.

NationStates

17 years ago
Well, heh, YOU wouldn't be digging up the graveyards and harvesting rotting worm ridden organs, well not unless you were trying to create some sort of flesh golem.

Actually there was this thing on the Science Channel about a year ago. It was one of those horribly pretentious and sometimes outrageous documentaries of future. This was called 2057, as I recall. Anyway, they were talking about how [the following is in a sarcastic tone, generated by yours truly] "in the future, we will be able to construct organs with machines...and it would work like a computer printer." Damn you Michio Kaku! DAMN YOU! Ah, well. What are you gonna do about futurists and their stupid fantasies... at least incorporate politics into your futures! And how do they know that in fifty years, we'll be driving in hovercrafts over streets that connect a completely computer-connected and -dependent city? What's even more depressing is that the whole network that controls peoples' lives is susceptible to a virus from a generation-old computer!
Gah... Where were we?
Ah yes. The construction of artificial organs. I forgot why it's absolutely relevant, though.

Yeah, nice racism right there. Does your army even have tanks?

Heh, look at this. My great nation and Jimi's crappy nation are competing for bragging rights. Ha! Or should I say, MY bragging rights.

NationStates

17 years ago

Hmmm, well Ice and Light's economy is partially suported by Arms Manufacturing, so they probably have something in the way of weapons.

However the economy is only "fair", they got a bunch of drug addicts running around and the whole place seems to be a welfare state. Which means lots of lazy people getting high who probably aren't too keen on army life.


Wherrh has compulsory military service and a strong economy, not to mention its got all those wyverns flapping about, so I'd place odds on Anubis for now.

Though Wherrh seem to embrace racism given their choice of TV shows. So its sort of funny that Anubis is calling Jimi a racist.

Why do almost all young men, especially teenagers, like to make police states?

NationStates

17 years ago
It's more fun. Sort of how a lot of young guys/teenagers like to play the GTA series. Making a dictatorship in a game is just "being the bad guy" on a grand scale.

But out of the 11 Centra countries, there's currently really only 3 "police states" in Centra run by what I assume to be teenagers/young guys. Aizakku, NativePeople and Easthar. And I think Aizakku & Easthar are run both by Zero.

Mine is also a police state, but since I'm 32 I don't think I qualify as a young guy.

6 of the countries in Centra are some sort of democracy or on the liberal far left. And I'm guessing those are all run by teenage/young guys.

Seth is probably an exception since he's just abandoned government altogether. But even in a state of anarchy he's got a lot of civil rights and political freedom when the bikers aren't beating up the citizens that is.

NationStates

17 years ago
Yup, both me, but Easthar is fairly inactive.  I may just delete the account, although it's doing well... sorta. ;)

NationStates

17 years ago
I might delete it or at least move it to be on the safe side. I think its against the rules to have two or more of your nations in the same region. I know you can't have more than one nation in the WA at any given time regardless of where it is.

NationStates

17 years ago
That's right! My hard-working, intelligent citizens enjoy their lives immensely! That crap about constant fear is enemy propaganda! Especially since we encouraged more recreational drug use. We're all doing just fine.

I take exception to the idea that I'm an anarchy, though. I'm simply allowing my citizens to live their lives without government interference.

NationStates

Heres my profile page:


The Rogue Nation of Gladi

"Peace, love and ROCK AND ROLL!"

The Rogue Nation of Gladi is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 10 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry.

Nudity is frowned upon, the tenet of free speech is held dear, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy. Crime is a problem. Gladi's national animal is the peregrine falcon and its currency is the coin.

Gladi is ranked 2353rd in the region and 31,565th in the world for Most Cultured.

NationStates

No, it's not.  You guys only think it's racist... I'm going to explain two very key points.

1.  "Jew" is not a race.  Judaism is a RELIGION and a choice... I think you're racist for not realizing this. :P

2.  My animal has nothing to do with those of the Jewish faith, but is actually based off of my cousin's friend's nickname: Jew.  Nick (aka Jew) is my nation's animal.

You guy could've at least asked before labeling me. :P

NationStates

How'd he get the nickname jew?

NationStates

17 years ago
Haha, ok.

Uh.. I don't know.  I guess you'd have to ask him... First time I met him, he's like, "Hey, I'm Jew." 

NationStates

17 years ago
And then you were all like, "Don't you mean A Jew?"

Anyhoo, Jews are sort of their own race. I don't think it's official, but Jews aren't completely Middle Eastern, and they have a bit of European attributes. A little bit.

NationStates

17 years ago
I believe they're Hebrew, but I could be wrong.  Point is, antisemitism is a form of prejudice, not racism.  And no, I don't mean "A Jew."  I just though, "Ok."  I didn't care enough to ask him about it.  Why would I?

NationStates

17 years ago
Hebrew is just the term for the forerunners of the Jews. They're basically exactly the same, except different time periods. I believe it was...David(?) who 'coined' the name Jew BUT WHATEVER.

NationStates

BUT WHATEVER, indeed.  You get my point... Jew =/= Race.

THE ISSUE:

Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Elenavia, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.

 

THE CHOICE:

"Hold on there, hold on people!" says Miranda Licorish of the Elenavia Broadcasting company, "We don't have to take either extreme, all we have to do is make a TV game show out of it! We put deadly obstacles on the border and monitor it with television cameras! Those that make it across win freedom and citizenship, and those who don't, well, lets just say that our buzzards won't starve. We could call it 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?'!"
