The Free Republic of Greater Finland has moved to Apolyton from the region of Evangelion as per invitation from the gracious People's Republic of The Sovietskii Soyuz. For now, we are the only representatives of Apolyton's ethnic majority, the Finns.
So... shall we concentrate on the issues more at Stories/Diplomacy? (post count  )

The People's Republic of Suomi moved to Apolyton. As for the NationStates discussions, I suggest the Stories/Diplomacy forums.

The Commonwealth of Jedinica Vrijstaat
"Contraria sunt Complementa."
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Average Economy: Very Strong Political Freedoms: Below Average
Location: the Pacific
The Commonwealth of Jedinica Vrijstaat is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working 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 small government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A large private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports industries.
Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jedinica Vrijstaat's national animal is the eagle and its currency is the concordian.

That's like the opposite of what I wanted... I'll have to do a whole lot of reforms to get what I want, so it seems.

The Commonwealth of Alien Races is now part of Apolyton.
UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Excellent
The Commonwealth of Alien Races is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning dragonhawk population. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent 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 Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17%. A small private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alien Races's national animal is the dragonhawk and its currency is the mosaica.

Incidentally, is anyone planning to buy 'Jennifer Government'? I mean, I've definitely added it to my list of books-to-buy - it sounds great.

The People's Republic of Glorious Transcendence
"Praise and Glory be unto Heaven"
UN Category: New York Times Democracy
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Apolyton
The People's Republic of Glorious Transcendence is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14%. A large private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Soda Sales and Book Publishing.
Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Glorious Transcendence's national animal is the rising phoenix and its currency is the e-dinari.

The Sultanate of Townsville
"I rock! I rock so hard."
UN Category: Capitalist Paradise
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Excellent
Location: Apolyton
The Sultanate of Townsville is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. 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 government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. Income tax is unheard of. A robust private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales.
Crime is a serious problem. Townsville's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the puff.

The People's Republic of Zephyra
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"
The People's Republic of Zephyra is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. 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.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, 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 44%, 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 Woodchip Exports.
Crime is well under control. Zephyra's national animal is the wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the zephyr.
