Still looking for more Nation States Citizens
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi

You can signup here. Once you form a country you'll want to move to the region "Democratic Underground" We even are plotting our continent and the locations of our countries

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=herradura_anejo

Location: Democratic Underground
The Disputed Territories of Herradura Anejo is a small, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning Nebelung Cat population. Its compassionate population of 18 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Military funding has been stripped back, cars are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. Herradura Anejo's national animal is the Nebelung Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Agave.

Herradura Anejo is ranked 17th in the region and 80,922nd in the world for Highest Police Ratios.

28. Okay, I'm obviously not smart enough to figure out how to pick my
location. I went to somewhere in the forums and tried to pick location 132 on the map there as my spot, but I don't think anything ever came of this. No freakin' wonder I was replaced as the UN Delegate (don't think I'm not watching you The Limousine Liberals of Philosophie).

How do I get my spot? Location 132 would be perfect for my private sector gambling industry.

MPC must just be too busy right now to update the map. You'll have your spot.

4. LynneSin, Welcome to beautiful Saint Aristus!
The liberal paradise aggressive conservative despots have nightmares about.

We are a tough, strong nation with a world-beating army! People have made the mistake of thinking that because we are liberal, we are weak; they found out pretty quickly to their everlasting shame that that is not true. We've whipped the pants off of any aggressor who tried to invade our shores. Our people enjoy peace, freedom and unlimited liberty to say, think, print and express what they please. And we have the lowest crime rates in our former region of the North Pacific. Thank you for your invitation to join the Democratic Underground Region. On behalf of the free peoples of Saint Aristus, I accept your offer.

Feel free to send the people of Saint Aristus a telegram of welcome.

:patriot:

7. Foxistania
The Most Serene Republic of Foxistania is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 16 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 government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, euthanasia is legal, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is well under control. Foxistania's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the alien.

Foxistania is ranked 14th in the region and 72,119th in the world for Highest Police Ratios.

35. Been there
I was a Scandi paradise for such a long time. Even into Socialism from time to time. Recently, it switched over to Civil Right Love Fest. How often do they tally up the issue decisions for change. I prefer being some shade of red.

16. Mine is..
Kjerstinia.

Ouch my economy has taken a downward turn..

The United States of Kjerstinia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning calico population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 16 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry.

Nudity is frowned upon, gambling is outlawed, the calico is a protected species, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime is totally unknown. Kjerstinia's national animal is the calico, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the aquamarine.

Kjerstinia is ranked 28th in the region and 99,921st in the world for Highest Police Ratios.

18. Aha! So that is you! I am Social Carolina
The Commonwealth of Social Carolina is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 36 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22%. A large private sector is led by the Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Social Carolina's radio stations, and parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Social Carolina's national animal is the Beagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Caroline.

Social Carolina is ranked 30th in the region and 104,592nd in the world for Highest Police Ratios.

I'm sad about my deforestation problem :(

Just saying - we might get rogue countries and years ago we would take over other regions by getting enough votes to overthrow the current administrator

32. how can you have controls set up like that?
Like a password protected region?

I don't think that would be good for recruitment.

Is there another way?

PS - I think we should kick out Hedgeistan. :P

37. Kingdom of Liracia, checking in!
Location: Democratic Underground
The Kingdom of Liracia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Crime is well under control. Liracia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ernesto.

38. The Dominion of Schmevil
Is now located in the region of Democratic Underground...

...The Dominion of Schmevil is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Defence and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 56%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Retail.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Schmevil's national animal is the wevil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the schzestinca.

Ye gods... thank the lord I'm not doing this for real...
