-allow only police and military to use them
-allow only the military to use them
-ban violent video games and movies

Is Moosegardia one of you guys? After reading ^^^^^^ I'm afraid to endorse anyone...especially if they are new

1/12/2007 11:02:36 AM

It's funny reading this stuff. Some of them are serious and some are just crazy retarded.

^Who is this Moosegardia and what region is he in?

He's in our region and he is asking me for an endorsement...other than that I don't know who he is

1/12/2007 11:24:07 AM

I'm not in this region, but what's the harm in endorsing him? I throw out mine like hot cakes.

Libertaliana is me, actually. I've turned Luxaterra and Gedantzig into an experiment in stupidity. In the past week, I made skateboarding mandatory and banned schools and cars.

I think it's better to start w/ essentially no gov. and work your way up. That way, you dont become a "bureacracy-choked mass" so quickly when you increase funding for anything (including military).

1/12/2007 2:34:07 PM

I'm Fourmania. I am looking to wait before I say or do too much, since I am still learning the game. I don't want to comment on resolutions or as kfor endorsements or anything before I get a real feel for how things are going to run.

1/12/2007 3:54:52 PM

I'm Hisan-Poteria. Just a pleasant little dictatorship.

1/12/2007 3:58:45 PM

who the hell is Moosegardia?

1/12/2007 4:00:20 PM

I got an email from Moosegardia as well.

1/12/2007 4:29:45 PM

Im convinced its someone trying to take over Brentoceania

1/12/2007 4:32:15 PM

could be...you know you can google brentoceania and get the region password and whatnot

he's probably just an over-eager noob

Who is the Empire of Falasha? They amuse me.

Where did your names come from? Libertaliana is based on the name of Madagascar when it was occupied primarily by pirates and the natives before French colonization. Libertalia was the name for the pirate-occupied area. The name was taken, so I added to it.

Who is Jaeh Shoma Hali, and how do they have such a low GDP per capita, yet they're #1 in overall GDP? Are they China? They just showed up today, and have a massive GDP, along w/ a 100% tax rate. No way they started out like that.

Kinda sketch, along w/ Moosegardia. I think there might be a traitor amongst us...everyone that has a country, please post at least once in here telling what you're country is. Those who choose not to post...will just be the first suspects to get purged

not tryin to take over btw

1/13/2007 2:04:47 PM

i'm Rast Nemigy .. pleased to be your regional delegate. .. i mentioned to someone in a telegram - if i'm the regional delegate, then you guys should definitely lobby me on any UN proposals/resolutions you think i should support or not. thanks for all the endorsements by the way.. i won't let you down.

oh, and Jaeh Shomah Hali is a fellow NCSU native - they just made their nation loooong ago, so the population is ~2.6 billion.. that's how they have #1 GDP despite GDP/capita being low. they ARE china...except that they also respect human rights.

1/14/2007 4:52:25 AM

They won't be #1 in GDP for very long. My Twigs and Berries will soon overtake that spot

At the current rate, it'll be a week or so.

How did I end up with a flat tax?

I think everyone starts out that way, and it will eventually give you an issue that will allow you to make it more progressive/regressive.

Dismiss it, then.

What I want to know is how am I "below average" for political freedoms and "excellent" for civil rights? Am I missing the distinction between them?

1/29/2007 8:21:46 PM

Yes, political freedoms involve access to the political system and dissent of the political machine.

Civil rights include buying what you want, living where you want, and basically doing what you want with your life.
