Originally posted by NationStatesThe Rogue Nation of Pink and Purple Ponies is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 30%, 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 Cheese Exports.
Crime is moderate. Pink and Purple Ponies's national animal is the Pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Frog Coins.

I just switched back from "Iron Fist Consumerists" to "Corporate Police State". Sounds good. I'm aiming for a mix between Brave New World and 1984. I think I'm pretty close.

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH MY COUNTRY. They're now considering eating ponies...
Originally posted by NationStatesThe fact is, the Pony population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Hope Shiomi. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Pony kebabs, Pony pies, Pony-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.

Originally posted by NationStatesThe United Kingdom of Zeroonia is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Dawg population. 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Gambling and Retail.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Zeroonia's national animal is the Dawg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.
So, how do I join Jul?

Nice, I love games like this one. I might join if I find the time to spend on there. Right now I'm up to my neck in work, so it's all I can do to spend a few minutes every other hour on Jul.

The thing that's beautiful about this game is that you only need to spend a couple of minutes everyday to decide your positions on issues. The rest of the country will just do everything for itself. So you should join and make the Jul region stronger!
Okay, so I created an account and joined the Jul one. I answered all the issues.. that was pretty quick. I guess I'll just check it out every week or so. Just wondering, is that all you can do (answer issues)?
