My economy is reasonable. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that all private business is outlawed

Automobiles ensure the freedom of a nation's citizen. They are my top priority.

Ironically, we had a anti-automobile rally today. Pasiphae rejected the issue, saying it was a general waste of time.

# Nation UN Category Motto
1. The Free Republic of Terminal Dogma Tyranny by Majority "Buwahahahahahahahaha."
2. The Dictatorship of Lemmington Psychotic Dictatorship "Shrivel and Die!"
3. The Disputed Territories of The Mad Capitan Scandinavian Liberal Paradise "Get yer damn hands offa my magic bag!"
4. The People's Republic of Brelgovar Corrupt Dictatorship "Shovel and Rifle! Shovel and Rifle! Shovel and Rifle!"
5. The Free Land of Ubinia Left-wing Utopia "Yeah! er... maybe! "
6. The Holy Empire of Laguza Psychotic Dictatorship "When in doubt, kill a trout."
7. The Free Republic of Greater Finland Scandinavian Liberal Paradise "Evangelion is not a hobby, it's a personal problem."
8. The Commonwealth of Akiria Scandinavian Liberal Paradise "If we have no peace, we have nothing to fight for."
9. The People's Republic of Zephyra Left-wing Utopia "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"
10. The People's Republic of Suomi Democratic Socialists "Socialism unites the human race."

Strange. The Scandinavian Liberal Paradises and even Psychotic Dictatorships kicked the Socialist countries' arses in this rating.

But they got 100% tax rate!
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/...nation=pimlico

Quote:
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and the Environment are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Those economic names are stupid. Instead of the biased "Imploded", the economy should be renamed "Extreme-Left" or "Communist". Anyway, I, dictator of the corporate police state Jedinica Vrijstaat, rank last on income equality.

That has changed already. First I was a capitalist paradise, then a corporate police state and now a right-wing utopia. Who knows what I'll be next!

Indeed. It's just because the initial political test sucks. I started way wrong so it'll take a whole time to fix it. My goal is still to increase the current income tax of 5% with a factor of ten. A real tax paradise.

Edit: I just passed laws to NOT increase police spending to fight crime but increase education and decrease poverty instead. That should increase my taxes and (supposedly by that site) ruin my economy for sure!

I'm 34th out of 36 in economic equality. That's just because my capitalist paradise has no income tax at all. If you want to succeed in Townsville, you've got to work hard! The rich got where they are thanks to hard work and elbow grease.

The initial political test suited me fine. I was a U.N. civil rights lovefest. I liked the sound of that. Now I'm Democratic socialists or something like that .
