| The Protectorate of His Majesty Delta UN Category: Left-Leaning College State Civil Rights: World Benchmark Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Average UN Delegate The Protectorate of His Majesty Delta is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 226 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology. Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the police force is on a recruitment drive, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. His Majesty Delta's national animal is the goat and its currency is the Dollar. |

| The Free Land of Valdina UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists Civil Rights: Very Good Economy: Developing Political Freedoms: Superb The Free Land of Valdina is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 158 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Beef-Based Agriculture. Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valdina's national animal is the chicken hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dushka. |

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Beckministan's national animal is the robin and its currency is the dung. |

| The Community of Climenhaga UN Category: Civil Rights Lovefest Civil Rights: Superb Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent The Community of Climenhaga is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 131 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion. The large 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 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Book Publishing. Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, skateparks can be found in every city, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Climenhaga's radio stations, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Climenhaga's national animal is the mosquito, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar. |

| The one problem with nationstates that I have is that it assumes the only type of anarchy is so-called "anarcho-capitalism". Left and post-left anarchy are in reality the most dominant trends. Whatever, I guess my nomadic, anarchic people still have some sort of government watching them. :rolleyes: |
