I'm not personally saying its bad, some socialistic aspects could greatly improve a few things. But for a show like Star Trek during the time of civil rights/coldwar such a thing would've been a huge ratings killer if anyone noticed.L-ADM Error wrote:You say socialist like it's a bad thing.

Welcome to the Tajerian Technocratic Republic, you can speak all you want but you don't have a damn control over the government.

"The Republic of Moboquestria is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Mobini population. The compassionate, intelligent population of 8 million Moboquestrians 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 Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving industries.
The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the Mobini is a protected species, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is relatively low. Moboquestria's national animal is the Mobini, and its currency is the Bit."
I also appear to have a negative ammount of arms manufacturing indistry?

I have -1 arms manufacturing and -2 automobile manufacturing. I think that might mean I'm importing guns and cars?

The Federal Republic of Strigiforme Territories is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.749 billion Strigiforme 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."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuuyth. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
Teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', nudity is frowned upon, and Strigiforme Territories's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strigiforme Territories's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its currency is the K'lii.

Re: Nationstates
Hmmm. Interesting. As far as I can glean, "Economy" is based solely on private-sector. Which explains why the site considers the Commonwealth to be economically ded.

Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Average

Political Freedoms: Very Good
The Democratic States of Allied Terran Union is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ian Valenberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.746 billion Unioners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New-Solace. The average income tax rate is 73%. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.
All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, New-Solace is a police state during international summits, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allied Terran Union's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, its national religion is Cthulu Cult, and its currency is the Terran Credit.

Of course I'm about to enact compulsory ID cards and barcoding so that might change.
