The Dictatorship of Spunesia is a small, safe nation, notable for its
compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 8
million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who
outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little
playthings."
ban voteing?? no need if you count it yourself = (Bush's) relegeos guru? Well neo-conservetives are running everything with their strong belives.. and its clear god vote's for bush witch is almost said bye some religeos leaders.. ban cars??? not shure what you mean.. you see even all those thing are happening in a diffrent way but the outcome is the same.. what you say is how your media describes anyone defying your imperialist tagged 'Evil dictators' . since your media will never discribe your own government that way they well never be that to you and so never considered dictators.
I banned cars the first day of my dictatorship. I mean, it's a small nation. Go by bike! And elections. Why would there need to be elections? Spoons are fucking popular! And um, I liked the guru idea.. I really enjoyed that movie.
The Republic of Godlike Cows is a small, environmentally stunning
nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its
hard-nosed, cynical population of 7 million are ruled by a
mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live
their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Law &
Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Defence are on the
agenda. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the
wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed
by Cheese Exports and Beef-Based Agriculture.
Crime is moderate. Godlike Cows's national animal is the cow, which
frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is
the gold coin.
Cows aren't supposed to frolic in forests!!!! Mostly benevolent?! I can't allow that! Also on the "large private sector is led by the Retail industry, followed
by Cheese Exports and Beef-Based Agriculture." whats so bad about cannabolism? Especially when it give you Calcium for strong bones!
The
Dictatorship of Carnage and Havoc is a small, pleasant nation,
remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed,
hard-working, cynical population of 7 million are kept under strict
control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the
nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The small, corrupt, moralistic government is effectively ruled by
the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare
and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by
comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A healthy private
sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Trout Farming
and Information Technology.
Elections have been outlawed, thieves are flogged in public for
their crimes, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is a problem.

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Arartniuf's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that hompers could be added to the menu.
The Debate
"The fact is, the homper population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Al Spirit. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have homper kebabs, homper pies, homper-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy." [Accept]
"I agree that something needs to be done about homper over-population," says random passer-by Pete Dodinas, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal." [Accept]
"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Larry Hanover. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The hompers were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The homper is part of what makes Arartniuf a great nation!" [Accept]
Scientists using cloned human embryos for research are on the verge of a medical breakthrough.
"It's really very exciting," says lab head Bianca McAlpin. "Until
now, we've kept very quiet, to avoid being targeted by lunatic fringe
groups who for some reason think it's wrong to clone human embryos.
It's too early to promise anything, but we hope that one day we will
have genetic cures for a whole range of debilitating illnesses. I
certainly hope the government will support our work."
[Accept]
"Well, if you have to be part of a lunatic fringe group to
object to this barbaric practice, I'm a lunatic," says placard-waving
protestor Charles Dodinas. "Of course it would be nice to cure these
unnamed diseases, but at what cost? They're messing with the sanctity
of human life. It's wrong, and the lab should be shut down immediately."

The Armed Republic of Bigastokhztan is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The average income tax rate is 9%. A healthy private sector is led by the Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving industries.
Crime is a problem. Bigastokhztan's national animal is the smilodon and its currency is the bigosto.
John Black, author of the hit book, 'Men are from
Mars, Women are from Some Whole Other Place,' has a simpler solution.
"If couples would just call each other 'darling' once in a while, there
would be far fewer relationship breakdowns. A little affection is all
it takes. So the government should make it mandatory: call your spouse
'darling' at least once a day, or face a fine."

The increasingly militant Animal Liberation Front struck again last
night, freeing dozens of chickens bound for delicious snack packs.
The Debate
"These nuts have got to be stopped," demands concerned consumer
Colin Johnson. "They need to face the fact people want snack packs, no
matter how many innocent chickens must be sacrificed. Besides, chickens
would do the same to us if they had the chance."
etc.
I knew it! Fear the Chickens! They will eat your babies!
This weekend, a citizen's group calling itself Gun Owners of Artic II has petitioned Congress with a controversial bill making gun ownership compulsory.
The Debate
"This is a very important step to securing the rights and lives of our families and controlling the government," urges noted gun ownership proponent Beth Hamilton. "Not only would it significantly decrease crime, but it would also effectively stop government tyranny in its tracks. Of course, this also means that every wacko and their cousin will have a gun, but don't worry, you'll have a gun to defend yourself from them, so it will all work out."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"While the Gun Owners of Artic II have the safety and security of our people in mind, it would simply be impractical to enforce," comments Police Chief Zeke Dredd. "A better option would be to legalize, and encourage use of, concealed carry laws, which would allow responsible citizens to keep firearms with them at all times, on their person, to kill any wacko or their cousin who they think is threatening them." [Accept]
"Compulsory gun ownership?! Concealed carry?! Are these fools nuts?!" rants an enraged Million Mummy March activist. "We don't need any of these things! What we need is complete gun registration, so that the government can track down dangerous people, like those people who possess unregistered weapons." [Accept]
Children as young as eight have been spotted gambling in some of Youteria's seedier casinos.
The Debate
Social activist Naki Clinton is outraged. "Gambling needs
to be outlawed immediately. It's no wonder children are becoming sucked
into the vice, with adults setting such a poor example. Gambling is a
stain on Youteria's international reputation and it must be stopped!"
However, Crown Casino chairperson George W. Hendrikson says,
"What's wrong with children gambling? It prepares them for the
realities of life, teaching them that success or failure is not due to
hard work or intelligence, but the roll of the dice. Besides, if kids
weren't gambling, they'd be spraypainting trains.
Commentators have warned that Carnage and Havoc's social inequalities threaten to make it an international pariah.
The Debate
"Look, I don't like it either," said Chamber of Commerce
spokesperson Samuel Jefferson. "Just on the way here, I had to step
over three homeless people, and one of my shoes got caught on a beggar.
But inequality is the price we pay for economic strength. If anything, we need fewer taxes, so those of us who are well-off can afford to be more generous. If we want to, that is."
[Accept] The horror!
Mandatory... (Hmm... This might be good for the tourism industry... Especially from Mielo's nation...)
lol don't drag my folks into your country, Erunion. You know they have a weakness for nudity!

The Issue

After several reports of pet spoons violently attacking, injuring,
and even killing citizens, there has been growing pressure from public
safety activists for the government to take action.
The Debate
"These creatures are a danger to the public and must be destroyed!"
says Akira Licorish, representative of the Public Institution for
Social Safety, Equality, and Direction. "I was attacked by one just on
the way here and I nearly lost my life! They're a public menace. We
must shoot and burn them!"
[Accept]
"Why punish the poor things?" asks animal-lover Colin
Love, covered in scars from previous encounters with spoons. "All they
need is good hands to care and rehabilitate them. We need a government
education programme to tame them and turn them into loveable pets. The
one I'm holding right now shows that it can be done. They are all good,
kind creatures deep d- argh!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"I agree that we shouldn't kill them," says Akira Utopia, a
famous lawyer. "But I don't think the owner should get away with
breaking the law! This is clearly a case of 'intent to greviously harm'
if I ever saw it. All citizens should be held accountable of their
pet's actions as if they had done the act themselves. It's the only way
to be fair - after all, they're just dumb animals."
[Accept]
"Who cares!?" screams Larry Longfellow as he sends out his
pirate radio station broadcast. "Just repeal any laws preventing us
from shooting the things when they attack and we'll be able to save
ourselves without this stupid, authoritarian, overbearing government
and legal system wasting our tax money!"

Dictatorship of Carnage and Havoc is a large, economically powerful
nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its
hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 36 million are ruled
with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which

The UN has not compiled a report for this region yet.
Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of
illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Naergothrendar,
prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.
The Debate
Jack Dodinas of the Naergothrendar National Purity League says
"These illegal aliens are just an eyesore with their strange customs
and funny languages. Uneducated immigrants like these only worsen crime
and steal valuable jobs! I say we should boot them all out on their
ears and put a big fence around the country!"
[Accept]
Beth Rifkin of the Naergothrendar Civil Liberties Union says
"We must welcome these refugees from any nation into our open arms,
they are fleeing one oppressive dictatorial regime in the only way they
know, we must not let them think they're jumping from the frying pan
into the fire!"
[Accept]
"Hold on there, hold on people!" says Falala
Longfellow of the Naergothrendar 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?'!"
