Not militaristic enough. Grunt would probably start up the Hegemony of Saberrattling, or some such.

Update: Gwaltopia
Tax rate has gone up to 75%.
The Economy is now considered “imploded”
Woodchip industry is out, and lemonade is in.
The leader of Gwaltopia is pleased to see its ranking on the nudity scale.
Oh, and all industry is now run by the government.
Gwaltopia Decides: Harry Potter Censorship Row
The Issue
The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Gwaltopia has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.
The Debate
1. "I quite enjoyed the book, until I got to the part where Harry summons evil demons to do his bidding," says religious leader Chastity McGuffin. "Now that's just wrong. We need to restore some sense to this debate, by which I mean we should remove this book from the shelves, salt it thoroughly, and burn it."
2. Teachers union President Peggy Summers says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a damn good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like the Catholic Church."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

The Issue
A well-heeled lobby group is pushing for the elimination of regulations that prevent corporations from donating money to political parties.
The Debate
1. "This is supposed to be a democratic country," Beef-Based Agriculture industry spokesperson Sue-Ann Mistletoe says. "Yet these archaic laws say I can't donate money to support a political party. They put ceilings on the amount any party can spend on advertising. It's time to stop treating voters like children, and trust them to make up their own minds. Free the ballot box!"
2. "You say political freedom, I hear vote-buying," says popular anarchist Zeke du Pont. "If these fat cats get their way, politicians will buy their own seat in Congress. And let's face it, a slick advertising campaign can convince a lot of apathetic voters. We need to tighten the laws, not repeal them. Money should have no place in politics!"
3. "Frankly, I don't see why we need to have elections at all," says your brother, Hack Dredd, over a late-night malt whiskey. "You always seem to know what's best. Why not scrap the whole political system? It would make things so much simpler."
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 3 (Who am I to argue with my brother Hack Dredd?).

Just for the record, I see that The People's Republic of Aggrovatia (started months ago) is in the UN. But do we really want Robnark as our representative?Originally posted by Beldin
PS: Has any of you joined the "UN" yet ?
Also, I'm betting Pornograffiti is Waverly's or Foul's entry. I look for frightening things out of this country.

The Issue
The Department of Defense has put its case for a substantial increase in funding for the coming financial year.
The Debate
"There are turbulent times we live in," says Defense Chief Max Fellow. "Turbulent and dangerous. And the only sensible response to that, of course, is to build a lot more weapons. Unless we get the funding we need, I can't promise that we'll be able to defend Tropicalis's sovereign borders from rogue nations and foreign powers. Or those leaky boatloads of refugees, for that matter."
"NO MORE BOMBS," chant the protestors outside Parliament House, in a repetitious and increasingly annoying appeal. Spokesperson Dave Utopia, speaking through a feedback-afflicted microphone, says, "Tropicalis needs fewer weapons, not more! Make the world a safer place! Disarm now!"
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 2.
Well, this was a hard one, because I know you non-conservative wasteful nations want to get your money-grubbing paws on my environment-rich nation, but simply fighting fire with fire won't cut it. I will rely on peaceful means before going into the hands of war and destroying the land we've got.
@Kayless Do you oppose nudity?
In other news, I am willing to find allies... Any conservative environmental Democratic Socialists out there? If not, Ill just settle with Democratic Socialists or Conservatives.

But please notice, I am no war-loving, crazed maniac...really.
