The Free Republic of Bloodonya
"The weak shall not enslave the strong "
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Powerhouse
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: SYM
The Free Republic of Bloodonya is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery industries.
Crime is a major problem. Bloodonya's national animal is the wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the kroog.

The Holy Empire of The Ummah
"Unity, Faith and Discipline"
UN Category: Conservative Democracy
Civil Rights: Rare Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Superb
Location: SYM
The Holy Empire of The Ummah is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22%. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Pizza Delivery.
Crime is moderate. The Ummah's national animal is the falcon and its currency is the dinar.

Gwaltopia Decides:
Economic Collapse Looms!
Government Acts
The Issue
Big business, fed up with over-regulation in Gwaltopia, are heading offshore in ever-increasing numbers.
The Debate
(1) "Good riddance!" says noted environmentalist Pete Winters. "Sniff that air! It's never been so clean! At last, our society is freeing itself from the consumer death-trap! I say it's time to take the final step and outlaw capitalism once and for all!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
(2) "This is a catastrophe waiting to happen," says the Chamber of Commerce. "Think of the consequences! Without big business, where do the jobs come from? Where do we get our medicine? Our cars? Our latest fashions? There are dozens of useless regulations the government could abolish today to make life easier for commerce, and it's high time they did."
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 1.

The People's Republic of Aegisia
"You are an individual... Just like everybody else!"
UN Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Some
Location: the Pacific
The People's Republic of Aegisia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 53%, 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 Soda Sales.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Aegisia's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is anything tangible.

The Nation of Randomthugonia declares Gwaltopia unfit to remain a part of SYM. Randomthugonia applaudes the Rogue Nation of Kayland and wishes them victory.
In a recent news conference the proud leader of Randomthugonia, Thug, stated such -
"It is not the right of religous madmen to hold any level of favor in the decisions that will shape this world. The Holy Empire of Ummah must be removed from power. I call upon those who seek to keep religous zealots from power... follow suit"
