state of my nation

The Most Serene Republic of Innis Morgaine is a very large, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 173 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

An enormous health awareness programme is underway, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, and there have been reports of people marrying housepets. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Innis Morgaine's national animal is the otter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the innismark.

Innis Morgaine is ranked 23rd in the region and 44,895th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector.

-- this is my very own nation state . right now Innis Morgaine is considered a "Father Knows Best" state with a reasonable economy and good civil rights but few political freedoms. of course, my nation is a member of the freedtopia region. don't ask me why, but i love this game!

since i am probably the only person who reads your blog who has had an experience with NationStates, i will kick off the commenting.
Your Nation sounds really cool, and as i have witness first-hand, you are a firm leader.
I have avoided NationStates because i have no desire to ever "rule" a country. More power to you!
