Disputed Territories of Auldoninna
The noise was thunderous! People from all over the lands of Apolyton turned their heads skywards to see this amazing sight. High over head descending from the clouds was a whole nation being transported from across the seas, out of the East PAcific region, flew the large industrial helicopters, dragging underneath them the lands of the Auldoninnas.

A suitable vacant section of ocean was found and the new natio ndescended and finally came to rest. The tie wires were removed and without warning the helipcopters dissapeared out of sight.

The peoples of Auldoninna were mildly surprised at this occurance, but so many other amazing things hasd occured in there short history that this was just yet another.

And so began the history of The Auldoninnas within Apolyton.

Welcome. However most left this forum a while ago. At points, it has been a hugely active forum, however sadly it is no more.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 104 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, guns are banned, and public nudity is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 69th in the region and 24,203rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a very large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 110 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Public nudity is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 64th in the region and 55,120th in the world for Nicest Citizens.

The people of Auldoninna were flourishing under there great governemnt, or so the government reports stated. There were no disenters al lwere happy, more Gerbil recipes were being released daily and there absolutly was no shortage of Gerbils, Rumours of the Gerbil being extinct were just that stated the latest Government reports. Exploration into uncharteted islands had revealed an abundance of Gerbils. The daily ration of 5 gerbils per family though would b emaintained til lfurther notice.

The government wold also like to report the succesful integration of all Businesses into the government, CEO's now hold ministerial positions and this makes for cost savings as we no longer hav eto pay our government ministers as thy all have jobs already. This is another great achievement brought to you by your friendly government.

Further the government wishes to thank all its loyal citizens for upholding all the latest government inititives especially the "Clean the streets" campaign, the use of the modern toilet has seen the streets much cleaner recently.

You reject our special Fried Gerbil ...!!! Begone with you !!!

The Auldoninnas are very sceptical of people that wont eat Gerbils, the sacred animal of all the people.

And your hypnotism wont work on us, we are already too brainwashed by our own government to accept any further programming.....

The auldoniina government has endorsed Channel 5s new Television show, "Who want sto be an immigrant?" with its immnese budget the Channel will set up bariers and challenges for the immigrants attempting to land on Auldoninna shores. The succesful survivors (if any) will be allowed to stay, the rest, well who cares. And in the meantime with worldwide broadcast deals being sold, income into Auldoninna will swell

The United Good is pleased to provide our religious text for the great people of The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna. Please take note of the passages refering to our early Martyr St. Zor, who you might want to adopt as you patron Saint. Most translations of the passages about him suggest that he spent most of his time preaching in the nude. The passage refering to his Martyrdom, however, is frequently disputed with one group believing the correct translation is "... and Zor was brought before them naked and he was hanged." while others argue the correct translation should be "... and Zor was brought before them naked and he was hung."

or was that "well hung"

The Auldoninna Proletariet have readily accepted this religion and are considering elevating one of their own to Saint Hood already.

Brother Iva Biggun of the Southern Affliation of the church has performed well at all ceremonies and is well liked by all the Parisheners especially the young ladies.

The Auldoninna Government has passed new regulations prohibiting all Religion being exercised within any government building or business place. This new law is eancted immediatly and shall be enforced upon pain of death.

Religion is for churches not governments and business , so said Cutlrual Attache Ben Dover.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 210 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and the Environment are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38%. A large private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 91st in the region and 40,321st in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 249 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Euthanasia is legal, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and protests are prohibited from blocking traffic. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 105th in the region and 73,301st in the world for Most Extreme Nations

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

I do hope Iva Biggun's ecumenical activities haven't been... cut off ! Is he still allowed to proselytize in public ?

If you want, I can send more acolytes to help your government refine your missionary positions.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 374 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Auldoninna's pristine beaches, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, organ donation is compulsory, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 404 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and the Environment are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

The only places to see gerbils now are at local zoos, military spending recently hit a new high, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and political activists are routinely executed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 51st in the region and 19,233rd in the world for Most Subsidized Industry.

The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna
"Do unto others first, before they do us."

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Some Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Rare

Location: Apolyton
The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 447 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 18th in the region and 7,969th in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.

"Do unto others first, before they do us."

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Average Economy: All-Consuming Political Freedoms: Unheard Of

Location: Apolyton
The Disputed Territories of Auldoninna is a huge, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 492 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 58%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, military spending recently hit a new high, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auldoninna's national animal is the gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the banana.

Auldoninna is ranked 69th in the region and 50,958th in the world for Most Liberal Nations.

OOC: It seems to me that Auldoninna would make good sport if we ever get bored.
