Does anyone else 'play' NationStates?

This is something I've discovered a while ago. It's a site that allows you to create your own Nation, based on your own ideals. This is can be a corrupt dicatorship, a Communist state or an ultra-liberal corporate paradise.


You can create your own nation here.
Or take a look at my country, where Liberalism is worshipped. My national currency is The Choc, my national animal is the Dodo.

It's much easier then Civ. You get a number of issues from time to time (you can set this yourself). The way your country is formed is based on your decisions. Example below:

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," Trout Farming industry spokesperson Pip Fellow 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 Jean-Paul Fellow. "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, Marc Barry, 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."

Do you grow cocaplants instead of crops ? I mean, who needs food, right ?

[johnny]

Please visit the republic of San Johnny Corrupt, but free beer for everyone.

Edit: btw, the spermwhales roam freely in the national forests ??? Must be because of my liberal view on drugs. Already we're starting to see things that aren't very realistic.

Edit2: thanks Velk, here's the good one: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/...ion=san_johnny
