I said yes to compulsory voting. What's the point in having a republic if nobody votes.

New Terra Cluster (re: Novus) is alive and kicking. Also, you can go into settings and set 2, or 4 issues per day, Shadow.

Compulsory voting, yes. Top 5% (10%?) of the world for best-preserved environment, nicest citizens, most technologically advanced? Check. Economy is imploded? I see Max Barry misunderstands the full range of socioeconomic spectra. Also, fuck cars and nuclear power is awesome.

I voted to cut down some of the forest for a uranium mine.
We can just buy more trees with the tax money.

Shadow's Nationstate wrote:The Empire of Tajerian Technocratic Republic is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million Tajerian Technocratic Republicians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to 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 robust private sector is led by the Gambling, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime is a major problem. Tajerian Technocratic Republic's national animal is the Money, and its currency is the Din.
My Nationstate wrote:The Empire of The Zuguthian Empire is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 6 million Imperials 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 devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, voting is compulsory, organ donation is compulsory, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Zuguthian Empire's national animal is the Strgifiorme, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Galactic Credit.
Now, tell me, where would you rather live?
