I never clicked on this thread before. I didn't realise there was a game involved. I am the Republic of Clicketyclackia for some reason.

Do I just have to wait to be accepted into the UN or do you lot have to vote me in?

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wait to be accepted. Then I'll endorse you. I'll endorse anyone.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK I just changed Clicketyclackia to a Dominion cause there seemed little else to do apart from await the outcome of my euthanasia fence-sitting.

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, it isn't a blazing-paced game.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Damn, didn't I?

luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

yes

electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, this game needs to be picked up a bit. It should be way more like civilization, with barbarian hordes and shit.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

There's a big discussion on the messageboards about how to deal with killer wolves!

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

I want to be able to cause destruction!

luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Become a wolf!

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

No good, I need it on a grander scale.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, N., when you're the leader of a fake country, wolves are big concerns, as is the idea of roving biker gangs taking over your principality.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's the wolves on bikes that frighten me, cause I think they might eat Ralph S. Mouse.

I suggest that all nations with feline animals form a coalition. Party at my place -- I've loads of chocolate currrency!

Leee (Leee), Friday, 23 May 2003 06:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Talking cars are feline, in that KITT was a pussy, so I'm in.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 06:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, it also sounds kinda like KITTen, which should probably be more obvious.

"I agree that something needs to be done about toothy midget guerilla over-population," says random passer-by Beth Washington, "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."

Think hard... what would Kissinger do?

This is my state.

UN Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
Civil Rights: Superb Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: the South Pacific
The Free Republic of Annaskwan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 47%, 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 Retail.

Crime is totally unknown. Annaskwan's national animal is the artic meeract, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the unit.

Um - do we have an ilx-area to move to?

Anna (Anna), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

ilxoria
pwd: ohnoohno

JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

I joined ilxoria straight away, Ed. I just haven't been accepted to the UN yet.

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cheers Julia.

Anna (Anna), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hurrah, Anna has also picked a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise. For some reason her political freedoms are much better than mine though.

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

And my civil rights have gone down to good from excellent just cause I fudged the euthanasia issue.

N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm now a Compulsory Consumerist State. Hahahahaha... SPEND FREELY OR WE WILL KILL YOU!!!

BEST GOVERNMENT DESCRIPTION EVAH!

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yesterday, I encountered a guy whose country had become a "libertarian police state". The description made it sound kind of pervy - if you fail to exercise your freedoms, you're taken away in a black car in the middle of the night.

Kerry (dymaxia), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

my country has been transformed! Right wing Utopia!!!

i'm finally going to make good on my threats – my military now has god-like funding. yer all toast.

dyson (dyson), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Whatever, I just spent billions on a missile defence programme. Oh, and you know that Minister of Internal Affairs of yours? He's a spy.

Bunraku Decides:
Man with 3 buttockss on the Dinner Table?

The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Bunraku's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that man with 3 buttockss could be added to the menu.

The Debate
"The fact is, the man with 3 buttocks population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Fleur Mistletoe. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have man with 3 buttocks kebabs, man with 3 buttocks pies, man with 3 buttocks-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 man with 3 buttocks over-population," says random passer-by Charles King, "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 Buffy O'Bannon. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The man with 3 buttockss were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The man with 3 buttocks is part of what makes Bunraku a great nation!"
[Accept]


Decisions, decisions.

the man with three buttocks is a sublime national animal

Holy shit is that for real a proposition? This is the best game EVER.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 19:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

My country fucking rocks so hard it hurts. I just wanted to remind you all of that.

The Disputed Territories of The Big Backyard
"If you smell something burning, it's probably us!"

UN Category: Left-wing Utopia
Civil Rights: Excessive Economy: Struggling Political Freedoms: World Benchmark

Location: The North Pacific
The Disputed Territories of The Big Backyard is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crime is totally unknown. The Big Backyard's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the post-it note.

Whoa! Now I'm a Corporate Police State! Just like in Rollerball (the original with James Caan, not that SHITTY remake)!

Aaron W (Aaron W), Saturday, 24 May 2003 18:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Remember that it is urgent and key to a) save the public trust, b) protect the innocent, c) uphold the law, and most of all d) [classified].

Eh, wrong film.

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."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

I can hardly wait to see what this will do to my nation.

Frühlingsmute (Wintermute), Saturday, 24 May 2003 22:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

YES!!!! Best law ever.

Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 24 May 2003 23:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, the best law ever is NO LAW AT ALL. BOOYAH ANARCHY MOTHERFUCKERS

The Republic of Xibalbastan
"Shoot Low They Might Be Crawling"

UN Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Superb

Location: the Pacific

The Republic of Xibalbastan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence 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 Basket Weaving.

Crime is totally unknown. Xibalbastan's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the eurotrash.

Hmm - a couple of days ago Uranium mining was one of my key industries, now they've announced a big find. My state is running BACKWARDS!!

The Borderlands of Seldregon
"In sound mind and without sin"

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Some

Location: the South Pacific
The Borderlands of Seldregon is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 11%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Seldregon's national animal is the chimpanzee and its currency is the prid.

I wanted to have more civil rights. But it was mean to me =(
